How does it work?

WP File download plugin will generate a root folder on your OneDrive with the site name.

All the folders and sub-folders added in WP File Download will be synchronized under this folder (WP File Download - {sitename}). And vice versa, all your files and categories from that root folder on OneDrive will be synchronized to your WP File Download dashboard on Wordpress.

What can I do with OneDrive?

It works in both directions! You can add a file from OneDrive and see it in WP File Download or add a file in WP File Download and see it in OneDrive. It also means you can manage WordPress files from your desktop using OneDrive sync software. That’s crazy! Yes we know ☺

Also if you erase a file from OneDrive you have to empty the Recycle bin to erase it from OneDrive.
