Sync and cloud storage

# onedrive.live.com

`onedrive.live.com`, `storage.live.com` and hosts under `files.1drv.com` are among the endpoints Microsoft lists for consumer OneDrive, on TCP ports 80 and 443.

Run by Microsoft · Ports: 80 and 443 TCP · Checked: 1 November 2026

## Short answer

Hosts that Microsoft lists for consumer OneDrive, for file storage and the OneDrive service.

Block with care

Blocking them stops OneDrive sync. To save data, pause OneDrive or cap its rate instead.

Matches

`onedrive.live.com` `*.onedrive.live.com` `onedrive.com` `*.onedrive.com` `storage.live.com` `*.storage.live.com` `*.files.1drv.com`

A name with `*.` covers every name under it: `*.push.apple.com` matches `1-courier.push.apple.com`.

## What it serves

Microsoft's article on required URLs and ports for OneDrive lists these hosts, with many others, for the consumer version of OneDrive.

Microsoft points to its Microsoft 365 URL list for OneDrive in work and school accounts. That list is different.

On a Mac, the sync app is [`OneDrive`](https://kilobat.app/processes/onedrive).

## Processes that use it

- [OneDrive](https://kilobat.app/processes/onedrive): Microsoft's OneDrive sync app. It uploads and downloads your OneDrive files. Microsoft says that it pauses on metered networks on its own.

## What breaks if you block it

Block with care

Blocking them stops OneDrive sync. To save data, pause OneDrive or cap its rate instead.

What breaks if you block it

- The OneDrive app can't upload or download files.
- onedrive.live.com doesn't load in the browser.

With Kilobat Pro and the network filter, you can block a host for every app or for one app: in Connections, select a connection and choose Block. Apple’s own services are never blocked by Kilobat’s [Protection](https://kilobat.app/docs/blocking#protection) lists.

## Notes

Microsoft warns that filtering internet traffic needs advanced networking knowledge and isn't suitable for all customers.
