AskWoody_MVPYou’re definitely right in that OneDrive is really a backup and syncing service, and it’s more integrated into Windows by default vs a service like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.
You said you couldn’t find a way to upload items to OneDrive without saving them on your machine. I’m not quite sure how to answer that. Where would the items be located in the first place?

AskWoody_MVPI think I understand. In the OneDrive Settings tab in the Settings window, you can turn on Files On-Demand. That will remove all OneDrive files from your current machine and store them only in the cloud.
If you want to access one of those files, just click on it normally, and it gets downloaded to your PC just as you need it. You can also turn this on or off for individual files to decide whether to keep a file on your PC and in the cloud, or in the cloud only. Is that what you were looking to do?
