Hi,

One drive is a cloud storage where you can save your files and they will be available on all devices by acessing one drive. I use it to save important documents as they will be available even if your PC no longer works. Here is an ebook you can download from Microsoft to understand and use One drive:

Quick acess is a feature where Windows "sees" the files and which folders you use most often during your use of the PC and makes these folders available in Quick acess so that you can acess these files quicker than having to search for them in File explorer.

Hope it helps,

David

Hi Iomare: It seems they, quick-access & OneDrive, are not necessary. The work will go on similarly if we don't have them, right? Could give an example to explain the necessary/benefit of them. Thanks

Hi,

They are not necessary. One drive is similar to Google drive or dropbox. It offers cloud storage and is a way to sync files if you use the same Microsoft on various computers, phones, tablets. I sometimes use to back up some important documents or to create links to files which I can send to others and they can download the file.

Quick acess is also not necessary, it is just a way that the system offers a shortcut to the folders you use most often on the PC.

Hope it helps,

David
