Windows 10: Files get missing while transferring to OneDrive

I don’t understand why but my files are missing. It occurred when I was moving them from the desktop to OneDrive and enabled folder protection. Something went wrong and they disappeared and weren’t saved on OneDrive. I cannot find them, even recovery tool doesn’t help.

Cable to transfer files

OMG. I have never met anyone who actually bought one of those file transfer things.



Firewire will do the same as USB, but faster, so will a cheap crossover cable. I can wlak you through the steps of moving data so you will not miss a beat.




Anything more than $10 to buy a cable is too much.

 

I can't transfer files to Onedrive


I am very confused. If I open Onedrive in IE I have the option using Share to email a file to someone or add a link to an email. However I need to transfer the files to Onedrive either by drag and drop or cilicking on open in File Explorer. Clicking on open works but drag and drop doesn't. I have trawled through some tutorials and they all suggest that I should be able to drag and drop from file explorer.

• Make sure that the OneDrive icon in the notification area of the taskbar will disappear and reappear after a minute or two.
