Can’t get access to OneDrive when you are in mainland China. So OneDrive has been blocked in China again? I have been told it worked using a VPN otherwise it doesn’t work. First you have to exit OneDrive, and rerun OneDrive when VPN is on, then maybe half the time files will be successfully synced. Otherwise, it’s not working. Any suggestion?
How to Use OneDrive in China?
What is OneDrive? OneDrive (formerly it is also called SkyDrive, Windows Live SkyDrive, and Windows Live Folders) is a file-hosting service operated by Microsoft as part of its suite of online services. People can save their files and photos to OneDrive and get them from any device, anywhere. It means that all you people can use your phone, tablet, or computer to continue what you started — wherever you happen to be. Any changes you make will be updated on all your devices. That is very cool. What is more, OneDrive provides users with 5 GB of storage space free of charge, and you can also add additional storage separately or through subscriptions to other Microsoft services including Office 365 and Groove Music.
