One Drive
Hi,
I want to use One Drive a little bit. Like most things Microsoft, it seems to be hard to get details on how to use it for specific things -- or maybe it's me.
I have stuff that I would like to be able to access from a couple of different computers -- and I really don't want to have that normally stored on either one. I'd just like to have some reference stuff that I use from time to time available when I need it. I would just as soon not download it when I use it either in most cases. Can I even do that.
The other thing I want to do is probably more straightforward. I want to have a couple of files that are just like notes so that I can update things on either computer when the other one is off or off line for whatever reason. Those I will keep on each computer and (I'm guessing) be able to update from either one.
Thanks in advance. I have reads some of the MS stuff, but they often seem vague to me.

ps - just a note. I tried doing this with Google Drive some years ago and at the time, it required me to keep files on every computer that I wanted to use it with. It would sync them up, but I had to actually have a file available to be synced. Seemed a little useless to me.

What I do is use a thumb drive plugged into my router that has ready share. Can access it from any device anywhere with a net connection. It's a thing with Netgear routers, maybe your router has something similar.
