    How can my wife & I have different desktops if we share the same OneDrive account?


    My wife & I share a OneDrive account. We find it convenient that our data is being dynamically saved; however, we didn't intend to share our desktop layout. Is there a way that we can make the desktops unique to each PC, while still sharing the account?

    :)

    OneDrive - shared link - one is required to create an account first?

    I don't share files often, or better, I hardly share files.

    Now I shared a video.
    Uploaded the video to OneDrive, right-click share, created a link, and sent it by mail to the person I wanted to share the file with (having a Gmail account)

    That person tried to open the link and reported back that he should first create an account.

    Huh..?

    Did I overlook a step somewhere?

    OneDrive sharing help

    Its should be indefinite. I have a shared folder with a friend of mine for about two years now. Is it automatically cutting off?
