This list includes great software products such as OneDrive, Excel, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, PowerPoint, and others. All of these services you can only start using if you have a Microsoft account.<\/p>\n<p>These services make the regular user experience simpler and more comfortable with their features. It means creating an account is an eventual necessity. You might live without some software, but OneDrive is the major cloud storage service. It\u2019s convenient and useful, it alone justifies the need for a Microsoft account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_is_an_onedrive?\"><\/span>What is an OneDrive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So, what is OneDrive? This service offers cloud storage functionality, providing 5GB of storage for free and more for paid subscription plans. That encompasses images, videos, text files, and other formats, all stored in a neat catalog with multiple sorting categories. With the massive volume of information on the Internet, such capabilities are essential.<\/p>\n<p>Another big advantage of OneDrive is connectivity. The service is available on mobile just as on other systems, meaning users can access files across their devices. Files downloaded on the phone are accessible on PC, and vice versa. The mobile version has a convenient application users can open whenever and browse personal files.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, OneDrive is supported by services and apps as a major file hosting platform, allowing people to easily extract files after completing the OneDriver register process. Integration is a key benefit, as well. OneDrive is also a synchronization service, letting users synchronize files on the desktop and in the cloud \u2014 files deleted on the desktop are deleted on the cloud, as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13357 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/onedrive-account-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"onedrive account\" width=\"843\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/onedrive-account-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/onedrive-account-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/onedrive-account-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/onedrive-account.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why_does_microsoft_require_a_phone_number_for_registration\"><\/span>Why does Microsoft require a phone number for registration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You do not need a unique account to use the OneDrive service: all functionality is accessed through a common Microsoft account. The latter is used for numerous alternative services owned and powered by Microsoft. To create OneDrive account, users need to \u0441omfirm a phone number, it\u2019s essential.<\/p>\n<p>Other information is required for the procedure, but the main difficulty is still having a phone number. Companies need it for identity verification to prove that the user is a real person. This is quite an effective step, which is used to increase the security measures of the service.<\/p>\n<p>What is OneDrive doing with your phone? You will need to get a confirmation code via SMS. If the phone number is already in use and is in the database, the system will not let you complete the registration. So if you already have one account or you just don&#8217;t want to give private information to a company like Microsoft, you can use a virtual phone number.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"onedrive_registration_without_a_phone_number\"><\/span>OneDrive registration without a Phone Number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you may have already understood, providing this information is a mandatory step and you can\u2019t skip it. So, virtual phone numbers are a good way to create OneDrive account without sharing your phone contacts. By using them you can complete the registration process with essentially a spare number you won\u2019t regret spreading. Virtual numbers receive SMS messages like regular numbers with a physical SIM, but they don&#8217;t require a new card to work, letting users create multiple OneDrive accounts with ease.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13358 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/virtual-phone-number-for-microsoft-1024x647.jpg\" alt=\"virtual phone number for microsoft\" width=\"843\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/virtual-phone-number-for-microsoft-1024x647.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/virtual-phone-number-for-microsoft-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/virtual-phone-number-for-microsoft-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/virtual-phone-number-for-microsoft.jpg 1142w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>The benefits are obvious, and sms-man.com offers virtual numbers on sale.
