14 ONE DRIVE Already installed in Windows 10 One Drive Folder can be found in File Explorer Usually above This PC OneDrive free with 5 GB: enough space for approximately 6,600 Office documents or 1,600 photos.* Office 365 with 1 TB: enough space for approximately 1 million Office documents or 330,000 photos.* (*Based on 9-megapixel JPEG photos,.7 MB Office files. Capacity varies by content) 1 gigabyte equals 1000 MEGABYTES, 1 megabyte equals 1000 KILOBYTES, and 1 kilobyte equals 1000 BYTES. To give you some idea of the storage potential, a byte is used to store a character of text. If a line is 50 characters of text Then a 1000 bytes is 20 lines of text (1000 divided by 50 = 20) If a page is 50 lines, then 2500 bytes is a page and so a megabyte is 400 pages of text or a long book. So you can store a library of 1000 long books without pictures on a GB storage unit. PICTURES REQUIRE FAR MORE STORAGE SPACE. The amount needed depends on the size and resolution. You can put 1000 one MB picture on a 1 GB unit. Movies are frames of pictures and require vastly more storage and audio adds to the storage requirements.
