Windows 10: Changing location of One Drive Pictures folders from a folder on c drive to d drive

I want the OneDrive to backup pictures from my d drive rather than my c drive.


when I click location for my one drive pictures and try and change it I get the following error message


Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same directory that can't be redirected. Access is denied.


Maybe I'm doing the wrong thing here but as I say all I want to do is have pictures that I put into a particular drive, d drive as there is more space than on my c drive transferred and copied to OneDrive.


Alternatively - Is there an option to have pictures point to more than one physical location?


How should I do this or what do I need to do to resolve the error message.

Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

No tried that.

Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

any more suggestions

 

my d drive and downloads folder is the same folder???

The folder I drew a circle around is supposed to be the downloads folder and it's supposed to be named downloads folder(but in swedish) but now it's the d drive (as you can see it says D:\ ) so now my downloads and everything on my d drive are stored into
the same folder.

Before when it was only the downloads folder the things I downloaded got stored into the c drive but I use the c drive for important things and it doesn't have much space on it and my d drive has a lot of space so I wanted my downloads to go into the d
drive instead.

So I wanted my main drive where I download photos and videos and stuff to be the d drive and my important things such as programs to get installed into the c drive. But I think that I in some way changed the location of the d drive folder into the downloads
folder so that's why it's like this. But is there some way to fix it`?

(also I can't move any of the files out of the d drive because it just says to copy them. Like I can cut them out and then paste them onto my desktop or something but I can't move them out of the d drive/downloads folder) I've also tried to reset the location
of my downloads folder but because the downloads folder was in my c drive I cant. One of the folders on my d drive (the one thats called ''editing'' is 112 GB so I can't fix the downloads folder while it's in there because if I reset the downloads folder
it will go back into the c drive and I only have 32GB left on my c drive so i can't change the location of the downloads folder. and I can't change the location of the actual d drive because then it goes to the downloads folder and it doesn't work.

But is there a way to make my d drive the main drive so my desktop and everything is on it instead of the c drive???

 

Changing Downloads folder from (C SSD drive to (D HDD drive, now the downloads folder path is the (D path

Hi !

I was trying to make space on my SSD by changing the location of the Downloads folder. I moved the location from C:\Users\MyName\Downloads to the D:\ folder. Now instead of moving the folder to the other drive, the location of downloads IS the drive, meaning
all the contents are in the D:\ folder, instead of a "Downloads" folder existing in the D:\ drive. How can i reset this?
