one drive & iCloud

[AutumnshadesofGold]

My laptop is less than 1 yr old but is a pile of pants. I'm going to restore it to factory settings but need to be able to access my documents, photos, videos etc.
Am I right in thinking that I can put documents in my onedrive, photos are saved in the iCloud? Struggling to see where my videos could go/be?
I am dense - so am struggling with this

To be on the safe-side I would just upload everything you need to Dropbox or OneDrive so it's definitely there afterwards. Another option is to dump everything on a USB stick. Or even better, do both!

If you need any help feel free to message me!

Do both.

Dropbox - I didn't think of that thank you!!

I tried to put the photos in onedrive but it says it's only a link to the original location? Will try Dropbox as flash drive was tortuous

Thank you!!

Hope Dropbox works. I'd definitely try to back it up in two places if possible - much safer!

I use Google Drive because it is cheaper than Dropbox for extra storage.
