Windows 10: How to have certain documents be only stored locally and not to ONEDRIVE.

I want some of my documents to only be stored on my local HDD. I still want to be able to store some files on one drive, but not all of them.

:)

 

Documents/Pictures folders under 'This PC' refer to onedrive - not the local folders

Thank you for the quick response, Micah.

My documents are already being saved to 'This PC only'.

The Documents folder in the libraries is correct (local drive).

The Documents folder in the quick access area is correct (local drive).

The only thing that is incorrect is the documents folder under 'This PC'?

Also is 'winhelponline.com' affiliated with Microsoft?

Thanks again

Hi,

Since changing the settings of OneDrive didn't set the auto save to "This PC" folder, we would suggest you to change the file path of your
Documents on your Libraries folder. Changing the file path to "C:\Users\YourPCName\Documents" will use your local storage as your default folder when saving files. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

• Open File Explorer
• Click View
• Click Navigation pane
• Click Show libraries
• On the Navigation pane, click Libraries folder.
• Right-click Documents (Under the Libraries) folder.
  
• Click Properties
• Click Location tab
• Then choose "C:\Users\YourPCName\Documents"
• Click Set save location and then, click
  Apply
• Click OK

Let us know how it goes.

 

Office Jump lists contain two links to each file: local and Onedrive. Onedrive’s cannot be removed from the list (right click has only Open option)

Office Jump lists (I checked Word and Excel) contain two links to each file, when the file was opened locally: local and Onedrive. Onedrive’s cannot be removed from the list (right click has only Open option)

This is on Win 10, with Office 365. The folder is synched with OneDrive.

Is there a certain setup to control it?

In what folder are the jump lists stored?

Thank you,
