Does anyone know if the cloud storage includes some kind of "shared storage" among the family of six, like a shared drive in an office? I want to collaborate with my nephew on some work and don't want to have to email files back and forth.
The web based stuff you can get for free. It would be easy to collaborate with the web based apps. Mobile is free as well. Desktop versions are not free.
Create a free outlook email account, you get 5gb cloud storage on Onedrive included. Each member of the family can do the same.
Word, Excel etc are right there on the left side of the screen when you login to outlook.com, all web based of course.
If you login to windows with the same Microsoft account, it will backup your files from your PC automatically to onedrive.
Yes you can, and it's pretty easy.
Select a folder and in the upper right corner select "Info" then "manage access".
You can let someone just look at the contents of the folder, or edit them, or even copy it onto their own OneDrive
and share completely, which sounds like what you're looking for.

Awesome, will subscribe then share and let you know how it works.
Regarding the free web version, apart from Word, Excel and Powerpoint... we are working with a couple of MS Access databases for our small business so the free version probably wouldn't work for us but I appreciate the advice!

It took a little bit, but we were able to figure out last night. Thank you for the instructions. At first it seemed like we would have to work through the website OneDrive.Live.COM and upload and download files from there, but eventually we figured out how to set up the shared One Drive in our folders right next to My Documents etc....

Since you've already set it up, it may not matter now. But you can also just use Teams - which will give you file sharing/discussions/collaboration, etc.
Yup, sign me up for a subscription so I can put my personal financial and medical information on the cloud. Which credit reporting agency was the one that stored their files on Amazon's unsecured server a few years ago?

From a data security point, there are two types of companies:
- Those that have been hacked and known by public
- Those that have been hacked but not yet known by public

And the third kind that just don't bother with adequate security to start with.

How much is your security budget? Cloud or not on-prem doesn't automatically mean "insecure".
Many companies have no problems securing data in the cloud. And on the reverse side, plenty of non-Cloud sources have been infiltrated or had data exfiltrated.
