While I like the idea of Cloud, I don’t trust sending data in the clear so I use encrypted containers. They actually provide close to 6M Down some of the time (2:00am), but as more people get online of an evening, it drags down to a sluggish mess. We live in a rural area with only one ISP (how is that not a monopoly?) and they guarantee 1M Down and 1K Up. Unless you have at least 10M Upload then it is painful. My problem with all “Cloud” stuff is the upload times.
The downside of the method is that it takes time before files are accessed as they need to be downloaded first before they become available on the system. If you are using Windows 7 or older, you may access it quickly with a tap on the Alt-key and selecting it from the Tools menu of the menu bar that opens up afterwards. The method is the same and the core difference is the location of the map network drive folder in Windows Explorer. Please note that you can do so on previous versions of Windows as well. OneDrive should now show up as a network location on your system.
