How do I use my new OneDrive storage on my PC?

Just to clarify, purchasing cloud storage means you're adding space to your online Microsoft account, not to your physical storage on your PC. If you're looking for more local storage, I’d recommend a portable hard drive or SSD. That way, you have physical space on your computer.

To get started with your OneDrive storage, make sure you have **OneDrive Files On-Demand** enabled. Just click on the OneDrive cloud icon in your system tray, go to the settings icon, and scroll to the Files On-Demand section. There, check the box that says "Save space and download files as you use them." Just keep in mind, this doesn't add physical storage to your hard drive; it just allows you to access your files online as needed.

If you bought extra storage for OneDrive, it's crucial to know that it's all cloud-based. So, you need to download and set up the OneDrive app on your PC. The additional storage you bought won't change anything on your local drive directly; it's all handled in the cloud.
