How to set up and use OneDrive on Kodi

Whether you store music, video or photos in OneDrive, if you use Kodi all of that media is at your disposal. OneDrive is housed in the official Kodi repository, meaning it can be one of the first add-ons you install.

Thanks to the ubiquity of Kodi and the fact that it's a common platform no matter which device you run it on, the steps involved are exactly the same. So whether you're on a Windows 10 PC, an Android powered TV box or anything else, you can access OneDrive media from within your media center.
