Are there any differences between Windows 10 and Windows 11 OneDrive Sync and Backup options?

I use both operating systems. I have Office 365 with Windows 10 so I have the 1 TB of storage. With Windows 11 I only have the basic 5 GB.

I would like to know if there is technically any difference between the two OneDrive.

To the eye there seems to be no difference, but that's why I'm asking the experts, in case there is a difference in the background.

Thank you very much for any answers.

    Hello, this is Emily.

    OneDrive feature is not depending on which Windows you have, so there shouldn't be any difference between whether you run it on 10 or 11.

    As for the 1TB vs. 5GB, what type of Office 365 license do you have? Is it a subscription? If so, make sure you sign in using the same Microsoft account on your OneDrive installed on Wndows 11 to get the 1TB.

    Dear Emily,

    I understand that I might as well use the 1 TB access on both systems. Although I'm not sure about that either, because I have an annual personalsingle subscription to Office 365.

    What I would like to know is if Microsoft has improved or updated the OneDrive Backup and sync part of Windows 10 in Windows 11. If so, what has it fixed or updated. Or have they not touched anything and the Backup and sync in OneDrive is exactly the same on both systems. Even if there is the slightest change I would be interested. I have a paper to write on this and that's why I asked.

    Thank you very much

    Thank you for the follow up question.

    OneDrive itself is the same whether you run it on 10 or 11. However, in Windows 11, the oeprating system integrates OneDrive into its File Explorer and settings.

    For example,

    In File Explorer in Windows 11, you can sign into your work/school OneDrive account so their files will show up in File Explorer as well. Note - this is for work or school account only.

    As for Settings, when you go to Settings Home, you will see OneDrive cloud storage status right there. And if you go to Settings > Accounts > Windows Backup, you will see OneDrive is also integrated there.

    Dear Emily,

    I must apologise for my difficulty in understanding.

    I see, so then there is no change, you could say that the same system has been put into Windows 11 as was in Windows 10.

    It just had to be integrated into the Windows 10 file manager. In Windows 11, the operating system does that for us.

    I seem to recall that we also created the OneDrive folder during the Windows 10 installation and it was usable when logged in with a Microsoft account.

    So I don't really understand what the difference is.

    Is it possible that if I stayed with the local account when installing Windows 10, the OneDrive folder didn't show up in the file manager?

    Thank you very much

    Yes, OneDrive will be offered during both Win10 and 11 set up, but in Windows 10, you will not see OneDrive integrated into Settings options. Other than that, the Onedrive itself operates just the same.

    You can definitely stay with the local account when installing Win10, and the OneDrive folder will not show up until you install OneDrive.
