How to Change OneDrive Location to Another PC or Drive

OneDrive is one of the most popular cloud storage services. It allows you to sync your data across Windows 10, Android, OS X, and iOS devices. When you are running out of space on your primary drive you can move data files or folders to an external hard drive.
