Use the Microsoft OneDrive app on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch device to work with your OneDrive for work or school accounts as well as your OneDrive for home account.

Upload, work with, and move files the same way in OneDrive for work or school in the iOS app as you do with your OneDrive for home. To learn more, see Upload files or photos to OneDrive in iOS.
