    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.

    "•If you sign in to Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 with a local account, then you can only use the OneDrive app to browse your PC. To browse your OneDrive files while signed in to a local account in Windows 8.1, you'll need to go to OneDrive.com."

    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.

    Local User Account and OneDrive

    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.
