Windows 10: I wish to save files on my laptop’s local solid-state drive. These files should...

I am the only user on this PC. After I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10,

I find that following folders are empty zero bytes:


C:\Users\Umesh\Documents

C:\Users\Umesh\Desktop

C:\Users\Umesh\Pictures



The following folders have total data of 300 GB:


C:\Users\Umesh\Videos – 50 GB

C:\Users\Umesh\OneDrive – 200 GB

C:\Users\Umesh\iCloudDrive – 30 GB

C:\Users\Umesh\Google Drive – 20 GB



When I right click on ‘>This PC>Documents’ and click ‘Properties’, I see following location ‘C:\Users\Umesh\OneDrive


This is what I wish to accomplish:


I wish to save files on my laptop’s local solid-state drive. These files should automatically be backed up on OneDrive. Please note that no matter what I click for saving files in the Office 365 applications, I am unable save the files on laptop’s local SSD. It always saves on OneDrive and every time I must fill in my password to save in the cloud.


I request you to help me.

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

 

Saving files locally only?

OK, thank you for clarifying that for me, Henry. There is a way to save a Word/Excel file online to your computer.

1. Click on File on the upper left-hand corner.
2. Click on Save As.
3. Click on Download a Copy.

This option would allow you to save the file locally onto your computer. However, the word/excel file will still automatically save to your OneDrive, but you can discard it once the file is onto your computer. I hope this helps. Please let me know if this works for you.

 

Office 365 Word: Mail Merge - Is it Supported for editing if the Source file is Saved in a Network Shared Drive?

Hi RaiO365,

I tested on my side step by step according to the steps you provided for me, and the result was same with you.
It may be because the way to access local files and access files on the network drive is different, so it can be saved after changing the source file locally, but not on the network drive.

My suggestion is that you can update source file first, then mail merge file.
