Windows 10: Local User Account and OneDrive

From what I have read, in order to use OneDrive (integrated in the OS, not the web browser), you have to use a MSA account to login to the computer in order to use OneDrive.

Is there a way to use a Local user account, while still using OneDrive without using a web browser? Even if it means I have to login everytime I open the drive from Windows Explorer? I plan on installing Win10 and using a local account to use the computer (I have a MSA account that I can use for OneDrive, but don't plan on using it to login to the computer itself).

Thanks in advance

Cannot change default save location to local drive.

Does it make any difference if you switch from a Microsoft Account to a Local Account, or vice versa?

Help with location of user folders when Onedrive and Dropbox are being used.

I changed the name of Onedrive folder to OLD1D in user account. Then I uninstalled Onedrive completely. Not done yet, but I will also now delete the OLD1D user folder.

Everything now looks OK and files are synced (by Dropbox). Back to a basic local account install.

 

Hello Jaesun, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

When you sign in to OneDrive using OPTION TWO below, you would still need to sign in with a Microsoft account, but you can do so while still remaining signed in to Windows 10 with a local account.
