OneDrive without OneDrive
If you want to use your available OneDrive storage without having OneDrive installed on your PC, you can, of course, just visit OneDrive.com and upload/download to your heart's content.
However, there's another approach that allows you to use your OneDrive storage directly from your PC, without needing the web interface, and without needing to have the OneDrive application installed, running, or connected.
Is There a Way to Use OneDrive as a Dumb Hard Drive? has the details.
