    Can't create new folders on surface pro after adding it to One Drive account


    Hello,A few years ago I added my surface pro to my one drive account and ever since I have been unable to create new files on the machine whether I'm trying to create a new folder on the desktop or in documents. I had an IT friend take a look and he couldn't figure it out and ended up making it worse because now the option to create a new folder doesn't show up in the right click menu anymore. Any help will be appreciated!

    :)
