I probably wasn't clear then in my initial question. You can't easily use OneDrive to replace your hard drive if you want to save hundreds of GB worth of data while only having a very small HD.

I meant that instead of saving my files only to my HD, to save them to OneDrive (on my HD) so that I retain local access without internet required but can also access my files whenever, even if I don't have my computer or something happens to my computer.

DropBox saves a local copy to your Windows computer unless you choose for the file not to sync with that device
