The check "Compress this drive to save disk space". 6. Then select Apply and ok.

It does not stop there either, there is one drive on Android, Mac, and the iPhone. It is a convenient way to access your files from anywhere. If for some reason something were to happen to your computer or if you are stuck without a computer and have to use someone else’s computer, you can still get access to your one drive files through their web site.
