OneDrive can be used as an independent product. However, it is best used with Office (Office 365, Microsoft 365).

A word of caution. Things change very fast. While all the information shown here is accurate, it may get outdated very quickly.

Therefore, it is always better to check the latest documentation to confirm that the features and functionality shown here is still applicable.

In rare cases, features are removed (deprecated). In such cases, you may not find the feature shown here in  your context. Another reason  for this could be version mismatch.

Use this as a practical guide rather than technical documentation. Most important thing is to understand the crux of a technical feature and map it to your own work or business needs.

As long as you have this ability, you will be able to use any technology effectively.
