Windows 10: Exported Word PDFs NOT Appearing in Desktop OR OneDrive Folders

I am having an issue accessing successfully exported PDFs from Word documents in both the desktop folder AND on OneDrive, however, I am able to view them in those folders prior to saving them see images below.--------------------------------------------------LEFT IMAGE- When I export a Word doc into a PDF, I choose the folder I want to export it to and you can CLEARLY see ALL the previous PDFs I have saved in this folder- You'd think that I'd be able to access all of these PDFs via my desktop or OneDrive -- BUT I CANNOT!RIGHT IMAGE- THIS is what I am able to view/access when opening the desk

How to link a folder on my desktop PC -and- laptop to a folder on OneDrive

On both my desktop PC and laptop I have specific folders that I want to be synchronized using OneDrive.

Say they are both named 'PDF', so

on desktop: X:\PDF

on laptop: Y:\PDF

by using: mklink /j "%UserProfile%\OneDrive\PDF" "X:\PDF" I can 'link' the desktop folder to OneDrive\PDF

so, that's fine.

However, I want to link the OneDrive\PDF to Y:\PDF (laptop)

No idea whether at all this can be done and if so.. how.

Thanks!

Oh, BTW: is it possible to synchronize just the specified folder ONLY, but nót all the sub folders (there are many and with many files)
