64-bit One Drive is now available in public preview
After releasing the 64-bit version of its cloud storage solution earlier this year, Microsoft revealed that its updated version of One Drive is now available in public preview.
So far, when the software giant first released the 64-bit version of Windows in 2003, users could only access the 32-bit version of the software to store their files, photos, and other documents.
The problem with running 32-bit software on the 64-bit version of Windows 10 is that even on systems with large amounts of memory, 32-bit programs can only access 4GB of system memory.

“If you plan to use large files, a lot of files, and the computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows, the 64-bit version is the right choice.
A computer running a 64-bit version of Windows usually has more resources (such as processing Capacity and memory).
Similarly, 64-bit applications can access more memory than 32-bit applications (up to 18.4 million Pet bytes).”

Currently, users of ARM64 devices will need to continue to use the 32-bit version of the software.
