If you have a Windows 8.1 computer, OneDrive will already show up as an option by default when you save or open drives.

7 computer click here to download the free app.  You cannot add OneDrive to  a Windows XP system.  A copy of your OneDrive will be downloaded to your computer and will sync with your OneDrive. Changes to your OneDrive folder from any device will also be updated to your device. You can access OneDrive in your File Explorer to rename, delete, create or move files in your OneDrive folder. Changes will be applied to your OneDrive folder and to all of the other devices in Sync with your OneDrive.
