any of your devices.

you need to sign in to your Microsoft account. To access the uploaded content on another device, you
need to sign in to the same Microsoft account that was used when uploading the content.
To upload or download content, you need an internet connection. If you don't have a data plan, the data
transmission costs may pile up quickly. For info about possible data costs, contact your network service
provider.
There are several places where you can access your stuff on OneDrive. On your phone, you can check
your photos and videos in the Photos hub, or open your Office documents in the Office hub. You can also
download the OneDrive app from Store to see and manage all types of files on your phone.
