Windows 10: How does Onedrive work with multiple PCs?

I have several PCs and I tend to use the same Microsoft Account on each of them. I also have an Office 365 subscription so I have 1TB of OneDrive storage available. Given that I use the same Microsoft Account on each machine what happens to my OneDrive storage? Does OneDrive set up a separate set of files for each machine using the same total 1TB or do all machines get merged together so I see one Document and one Pictures OneDrive Folder - i.e. I see the same OneDrive folder on every machine I sign in to OneDrive? If so is there any way I can change this as I would like to keep the data sep

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

Sorry for the late reply. I missed your post somehow. *Sad

By default, the Documents from the Start list opens to Documents in This PC. The Documents folder in This PC is just a link of your "C:\Users\(user-name)\Documents" folder though.

Since it opens to your OneDrive location instead, it sounds like you have Documents set to save to OneDrive by default. You can use the same steps in OPTION ONE of the tutorial below to set Documents to save to the default This PC only again.

Skydrive and OneDrive double folder

Hi, BerndCS,

If the files are the same in each, I'd uninstall SkyDrive and leave OneDrive installed.
