How to use and save to OneDrive for Business with the cloud from a PC

We have Office 365 with Office 2013 installed on our machines, but we're not quite sure how to use OneDrive from the PC to just simply upload files in the cloud.  We're figuring it as easy a dropbox is where you just have a folder and anything you put in there auto syncs to the cloud, but not sure how to set that up.

In the Office 2013 folder, there's a OneDrive for Business program, but it appears that wants to sync a SharePoint library to the machine, which isn't what we want.

Hi RJO,

You can upload files to the Cloud by using OneDrive as similar as using DropBox.

OneDrive is free online storage that comes with your Microsoft account. Getting started with OneDrive is easy. You can add files already on your PC to OneDrive by either copying them over or moving them from your PC. When you save new files, you can choose to save them to OneDrive so you can get to them from any device and share them with other people.

About how to use OneDrive you please refer to this article:

We're only on Windows 7 here.  But does that second link only talking about people with personal OneDrive accounts with a live/Hotmail account, not with OneDrive for Business accounts?
