Most of the online backup services do not provide tools through which you can directly edit photos. People often download the photos and then edit those pictures in a third-party app or through any other service. This was the case with Microsoft’s OneDrive. But things are changing, and now you can easily edit pictures directly inside OneDrive. There are different things like rotate, adjust colors and crop that you can easily do in the OneDrive. Let’s jump in to know how the editing photos work in OneDrive on mobile and PC.
