However, unlike backing up a file to OneDrive or DropBox, you can't download the pst file to another computer or when needed. These are safe to use because they are designed to work with Outlook data files. There are online backup services that can backup pst files when Outlook is open and incrementally backup the pst, so only changes are saved. The Outlook Connector does not sync tasks. Note that Hotmail Tasks will sync only with Outlook 2013 when you use EAS. Office 365/Exchange will store all Outlook data online, while /Hotmail is email, calendar, and contacts only. If you want your Outlook data in the cloud, use Office 365 or other hosted Exchange service, Hotmail/ or an IMAP account. While you could use cloud storage to store backup copies of your data files, its not recommended due to the large size of many pst files: uploading a large data file can take "forever". It won't be able to sync correctly when Outlook is open because Outlook has a lock on the data file. OneDrive continually syncs the local folder.
Outlook puts a lock on the pst file when the pst file is open.
It won't work and could result in a corrupt data file. I've had several people ask about moving their pst file to OneDrive and similar cloud-based services.
