Office 2010, Win7 and Onedrive

I would like to put my dad's office documents online on Onedrive so he can access them from both his PC and his phone.

His PC has Win7 and Office 2010 and he has a Microsoft account (live.com). I don't to upgrade to Office 2013 (lacks cleartype) or Windows 8 (confusing).

The documents are all in the "my documents" folder. Will it work well just to download the Onedrive app and sync this folder with his Microsoft account?

Thanks!

Yes. You can select which folders to be synced. Will take you 2 mins to set up.
 
This is so stupid. I tried to install Onedrive.

1. Installed from the Admin account. Then it installed for that user only without informing me, so was not available from other accounts.
2. Went on the normal user account to install onedrive from Microsoft's site. Error on IE: "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded"!
3. Retry and save to desktop. OneDriveSetup.exe is now on the desktop. Error "These files cannot be opened."
4. Retry and Run: "Windows found that this file is potentially harmful".

Microsoft software used to be reliable, but has really declined over the last few years.
Giving up for now.
 
You will probably have to right click on the .exe file and and go to properties. Down at the bottom of one of the tabs should be an unblock button.
