Move the OneDrive Folder

Move the OneDrive Folder in Windows 10

When you set up OneDrive to sync with your computer, a folder C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive will be created to store the contents. XXXX denotes your username. To move this folder to another location follow these simple steps:

1. Unlink OneDrive from your PC:

• Go to the taskbar notification area
• Right-click on the OneDrive icon
• Select settings
• Click: Unlink this PC

2. Delete the C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive folder

3. Create a new folder (target folder) for OneDrive contents, e.g. D:\OneDrive

4. Create Directory Junction for the new folder

• In the search area of the taskbar type CMD and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
• In the command window type

mklink /J C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive D:\OneDrive

adjusting it to your specific username and selection of the target folder

5. Link again OneDrive to your PC using the OneDrive icon in the taskbar notification area

 

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

Since the only folder that has incorrect file path is the Documents folder under This PC, we would suggest you do the same steps provided above. However, do it in your Documents folder under This PC. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

• Open File Explorer
• Click This PC
• Right-click on Documents
• Click Properties
• Click Location
• Click Restore Default
• Click Apply
• Click OK

In Onedrive cloud all my photos have lost the folder hierarchy

Hi Newbie here after searching for help on your forum.

I am running window 10 ver. 1903 64 bit.

I had all of my photos in the Pictures folder on my PC in in seperate folders showing when they were taken and location for retrieval purposes.

I decided to use Onedrive to upload them to the cloud for safe keeping and then, foolishly, deleted the pictures folder and hierarchy from my PC. Now, when I view the photos on Onedrive as they are not on my PC, I have them listed by date but all of the folder hierarchy has disappeared. How can I get the folder hierarchy back?

Anyone any ideas to help?

Many thanks,
