  1. I started my new One Drive Account - Now Have Weird "X" on Computer ???


    Today ,on my new Windows 10 laptop, I made a new One Drive Account.

    It immediately started loading up Desktop, Documents and Picture folders from my computer. This took a while and suddenly, I have "little red circles with X's" **** the Desktop, Documents, Pictures on my laptop including in my c:/user/username file See photo below.


    There was a message that I had run out of space on One Drive. It offered me the chance to increase my storage.

    I do not want to pay for space on One Drive now ... In fact, I did not want it to automatically upload any folders on my computer. I assumed I would be able to select what I wanted to upload to One Drive.


    So.... H****es that aut****on also remove all the circle X's on my laptop ?.


    I looked at the One Drive Settings on the Taskbar Icon and it seems to say that if I remove these files from One Drive .... They will also be removed from my laptop ?? How can this be ??? I am totally confused.


    I do not want anything aut****p me "fix" this pr****es on my new computer.

    I will attach a screen shot for clarity.

    :)

    Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
