    New Win11 PC refuse to move folder location from OneDrive to local PC


    I had a OneDrive on Windows 10 only for public sharing some pictures Since I got my new Windows 11 computer I have a problem with a folder and OneDrive The new computer automatically put my usual Documents and Pictures folder plus all contents on OneDrive not my local PC I prefer such things stored locally Somewhere I found information on how to change this I managed to change Documents I forget how I did it to local PC storage but Pictures remains stubbornly stuck on OneDrive Under OneDrive Settings > Sync and Backup I turned 2 things off Save photos and videos from devices Save scree

    :)
     

  2. Sync folder between Air and PC locally

    I'm looking for a software which will keep folders on my Mac Air and PC synced via the local wireless network.

    I usually take my Mac with me everywhere and as such have tons of large downloaded files that I have to manually copy over to the PC. I'm looking for something that'll transfer the files over the local wireless network in my home.

    Any suggestions?

    Documents/Pictures folders under 'This PC' refer to onedrive - not the local folders

    Thank you for the quick response, Micah.

    My documents are already being saved to 'This PC only'.

    The Documents folder in the libraries is correct (local drive).

    The Documents folder in the quick access area is correct (local drive).

    The only thing that is incorrect is the documents folder under 'This PC'?

    Also is 'winhelponline.com' affiliated with Microsoft?

    Thanks again

    Documents/Pictures folders under 'This PC' refer to onedrive - not the local folders

    Since the only folder that has incorrect file path is the Documents folder under This PC, we would suggest you do the same steps provided above. However, do it in your Documents folder under This PC. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Open File Explorer
    • Click This PC
    • Right-click on Documents
    • Click Properties
    • Click Location
    • Click Restore Default
    • Click Apply
    • Click OK
    Also, we would like to inform you that "winhelponline.com" is not associated with Microsoft.

    Let us know how it goes.
