I have a number of files on onedrive that I use on my windows 7 PC.
I want to access these files from my macbook (Yosemite) so I installed the one drive app.
Hwever, this started to download all of the files on Onedrive to my macbook hard-drive, which is not what I wanted.
I wanted to use Onedrive as an extra hard-drive, not as a mirror of my macbook hard-drive.
Can this be done?
Thanks

Two options: you can access OneDrive via the website, which will give you access to all of your files without downloading them. Or if you prefer to use the OneDrive app, you can go to preferences and select the OneDrive folders that you want to sync on your Mac. If necessary, you can create the folder of the docs you want access to on your windows machine and put your files into that folder.
Thanks blackdogdc. I had a feeling that I was going to be told that the files are replicated on each machine using the one drive app.
Not what I was hoping for with cloud storage.
I wonder, is it the same with iCloud - I see with notes, reminders etc that the files seem to be distributed on the accounts areas designated - e.g. include, yahoo etc.
Is this the better way to go without replicating files - or is this always going to happen?
Thanks again for the reply.

iCloud will store all files on each computer also.
