Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
It mostly works. If there was an alternative to backup to my OneDrive account, I'd try it immediately though. On Android, it crashes constantly and occasionally stops backing up your photos with no indication that it just isn't doing it anymore. So if you take a photo that's important to you--text it to family immediately because you can't count on the OneDrive app. Microsoft simply doesn't bother to check if features work, same as on Windows--they don't beta test or even bug test.

Love the storage, because I need so much, obviously, but the downfall is noticed is how quickly it is used up, atleast for myself. It's very inexpensive,. I appreciate the memories it reminds of, mememorable for sure. It's a great app. And is convenient if phones are misplaced or external memory is unavailable. Definitely nice safety net, just incase. Very nice.

Almost completely transparent among many devices! My wife and I share all professional and personal data, including pictures and videos, through OneDrive. We use it on three laptops, two iPads, and two Android phones, all in sync. We love it! One flaw: Outlook pop3 file can't be shared. It's an Outlook problem, but it means we can't navigate freely on emails, at least until we upgrade to an email version (costlier).

What’s new
You can now display your media files on a Chromecast receiver or TV from a compatible device. Look for a Cast icon showing in the top toolbar. We hope you enjoy this top-requested feature!
