However, though only a minor annoyance, OneDrive also takes advantage of the integration to help sell itself on your computers as well by automatically starting up when you turn on the computer and log in to your user accounts, even when you aren’t using it. Microsoft probably doesn’t see this as a huge deal because the process itself isn’t going to be one that used up much of the hardware’s resources, so you’ll barely notice any performance difference. The integration is usually a positive thing: just plug your smartphone into the computer, watch OneDrive direct you to what you need to do to get your pictures uploaded, and after it’s set up once, you even have the option of allowing OneDrive always to upload the pictures from your phone when you connect it to the computer, so you don’t even need to do anything.

Microsoft has owned OneDrive for a while now, even though it didn’t technically found the company back when it all began, but it wasn’t until Windows 10 that it got the full integration treatment, which makes it much easier to use. Microsoft has helped solve the conundrum, at least by a little bit, by offering OneDrive, a cloud-based storage company which they too own, and is available with automatic integration with the operating system. And of course most people usually will choose the latter because they want the better-looking device. Far too many of us feel like we don’t have as much money as we wish we did when it was time to go shopping for a new device and we often have one choice to make: to buy the device that isn’t anywhere near as nice but comes with plenty of storage, or get that device that looks the part, even though it is going to be a constant struggle to not run out of space to store things on. One of the age-old problems that many of us face with devices, and even desktop computers, is not having enough hard drive space to store data.
