Download from Onedrive to Save Files on PC

Hi!

I have just moved over 500 GB of picture files from my old PC to a new PC using OneDrive. It took a couple of days for the files to download from OneDrive. They now sit on the OneDrive folder on my new PC - only they don't. Every time I open a picture
file I see a message saying downloading file from OneDrive. If I check the properties of the Pictures Folder within the OneDrive folder it shows I have some 435 GB of 503 GB saved on disk. This suggests that not all parts of the files have been download.

I want to save the files from OneDrive on my C: drive in Pictures folder. What is the best way to do it? Do I Copy or Move the files in the OneDrive folder?

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks, Nick

 

Recent Files in Windows 10 not populating when opening/saving in Office and OneDrive...

Hi there, I have a rather unusual problem with a client's PC.

It seems that whenever a file in their OneDrive folder is opened and they Save a Copy to another location in their OneDrive, it doesn't show in Recent Files in Windows 10 like it normally should. The same thing also happens when a file is opened directly in Office such as Word or Excel.

However, it does populate and show in Recent Files when a file is saved to a local folder NOT backed up by OneDrive or if OneDrive is uninstalled completely.

Their Windows 10 is at 22H2, their Office and OneDrive have been updated to the latest version.

Show recently opened items in Jump Lists IS ENABLED.

Recent Files in Quick Access is enabled. Show recently used files and frequently used files in Quick Access is also enabled.

I have also run system file check and DISM image repair to no avail.

If someone could provide suggestions or assistance, that would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jay Smith
