  1. Can I store OneDrive files on my HDD instead of my boot drive?


    I just bought a new NVMe 1TB SSD to use primarily as my boot drive and a place to store my frequently used applications. However, I use OneDrive to store my other files (ie. pictures, documents, downloads). I always keep the setting turned on that stores files both locally and on the cloud. Is there any way to make it so all my OneDrive files are stored on my secondary HDD rather than on my boot drive SSD? Thanks for the help!

    Stored files in Hard Drive

    I'd like to know if there's a way of listing all the files stored in my hardware and arrange them by size, because I want to keep track of what's on my hard drive. Thanks, I hope you answer.

    You can use Windows search. Just search for *.* on a desired drive. When list is done just arrange them by size LOL.

    You can do it via command line as well and make an output text file showing files and their sizes (but without arrangement)

    Can I store OneDrive files on my HDD instead of my boot drive?

    Cortana opens locally stored OneDrive files in OneDrive website instead of app

    When I search for a file in Cortana that I have stored in OneDrive and stored locally on my computer it REFUSES to open the locally stored file in the default app and instead opens it in the garbage OneDrive website in my browser!

    For instance, I have a collection of PDFs that I reference often and I have my default app for PDFs set to Edge. Instead of it opening the PDF file from my D:\ drive, it opens the OneDrive file. Cortana and the search bar are now functionally useless.

    Absolutely infuriating, I did nothing to provoke this change, and what's worse is that I can see posts about this issue from as far back as 2015 with NO SOLUTION. Get it together!!
