Hello Ashley, :)
OneDrive is a cloud-based storage service where you can view, browse, upload, and share the files you saved online to OneDrive.com. When you save files to OneDrive, the files are automatically available to access or share from any device, even if something happens to your PC.
We have several tutorials for OneDrive, but here are a few below to help learn more about it. Please give them a look through, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

The main advantage of One Drive is that you can easily share files. But if you do not want or need to share files, I would not use it.

So if I place files there, they are actually uploaded to a cloud server?

Just be aware that whatever is in the OneDrive folders is synced between the cloud and your PC. This means if you add or delete files from a OneDrive folder, say Pictures, they are removed from the OneDrive Cloud as well. So, it is not designed to save you PC space by off loading files to a cloud. You can share files on OneDrive cloud by signing in to onedrive.live.com and right clicking a file and'Share' to get a link to send someone. Enjoy your new found 'toy'.
