Save Photos/Videos/Files from OneDrive to Android Phone

You can access your Android files anywhere anytime even without the Android phone/tablet you use to store your files! Does it seem pie-in-the-skies? But it is indeed a reality. What you need is a cloud storage tool, an account, and an Android device. For instance, if you have uploaded files from Android to OneDrive, reversely you have access to view the files and save photos/videos/files from OneDrive to any Android phone only if you sign in OneDrive with the same account.
