    Local folders not showing onedrive files on new PC?


    Hi folks,



    I'm most likely being idiotic but, I've just picked up a Zephyrus g14 to replace my Dell XPS 15.

    I did have another XPS delivered but it arrived wet and despite booting up, bricked after just 24 hours, Dell's aftercare service was appalling and so I decided to go with another manufacturer.

    I've just setup my Z G14 and found that, whilst the One Drive folders have all of my files, they don't show up under the 'My PC' folders in Explorer.

    Also the desktop files in One Drive don't appear on my actual desktop.

    The new and now returned XPS 15 had my files available locally in 'My PC' straight away so I'm not sure what I've got wrong?



    Thanks for your help.



    Luke

    Sync folder between Air and PC locally

    I'm looking for a software which will keep folders on my Mac Air and PC synced via the local wireless network.

    I usually take my Mac with me everywhere and as such have tons of large downloaded files that I have to manually copy over to the PC. I'm looking for something that'll transfer the files over the local wireless network in my home.

    Any suggestions?

    Onedrive files not syncing up from local onedrive folders on PC

    Newly created files in my local Onedrive on my PC are not syncing up to onedrive, although files created on other devices are syncing down to the PC. The folders are showing a green tick, but within the folders, new files show the blue arrows, and these
    files are not syncing up so are not available on other devices and are not being backed up.

    Tried upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10 but problems still persists.

    Cannot find anything discussing this problem. Please help.

    Thanks

    Local folders not showing onedrive files on new PC?

    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
