Step 4. Read the message, accept the permissions, and then tap Connect.

Step 5. Tap Create One! And then create a Microsoft account with your current Samsung account. Continue following the instructions in the application until you complete them.

Note:

• The Cloud Sync menu only appears when you haven't signed into OneDrive yet. If you're already signed in, the Sync with OneDrive menu will be displayed.
• Make sure you are connected to the internet.
