How does it work?

WP File download plugin will generate a root folder on your OneDrive with the site name.

All the folders and sub-folders added in WP File Download will be synchronized under this folder (WP File Download - {sitename}). And vice versa, all your files and categories from that root folder on OneDrive will be synchronized to your WP File Download dashboard on Wordpress.
