OneDrive - Another over complicated product from Microsoft?

I recreated what I think you wanted on a virtual machine, in a very straightforward way. Here are my steps.

Step 1: Launch OneDrive for the first time. Click on the option at bottom to change the default location for my OneDrive to a second hard drive on my system. (if you already have oneDrive setup, go to settings and choose Unlink account to get back to this point).





Step #2. Create a OneDrive folder on my E:\ drive, and select it.



Step #3. Go into newly created E:\OneDrive and create folders for Desktop, Documents and Pictures.



Step #4. Go to C:\users\user\{Desktop,Documents,Pictuers} and move them to your new E:\OneDrive\{Desktop,Documents,Pictuers}




Step #5. Run a test, using Quick access area, create a test file on the desktop folder.





Step #6. Now, go to E:\OneDrive\Desktop and verify that the file is really there




Step #7. Ensure the right folders are checked to Sync




Step #8. Optionally untick the Files on Demand feature to make 100% sure that the files are actually stored on your hard drive.





Seems pretty easy to me.

 

Windows 10 Microsoft Account took over my PC Administrator rights

Hi,

Thank you for responding.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing with entering the password before log-in to the computer. We will help you with this issue.

I would like to inform that it is by design you will have to enter a password to log-in as an Administrator account with Microsoft account. Local accounts can be used without entering the password.

This feature is being implemented to make more secure with the user profiles.

I suggest you to refer to the Microsoft article about: Help with Microsoft account


Also, Sign in with a Microsoft account

If you are not comfort to enter long letters of password, you
may also create the 4 digit PIN which will reduce your time to enter full password.

Follow the below steps.

• Press Windows + I keys to open
  settings menu.
• Click on Accounts.
• Click on Sign in options.
• Click on Add under PIN.
• Follow the onscreen instructions to create Pin.
• Sign out and try to sign in again using PIN as your Sign in option.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of this issue for further assistance, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you for your input re: may also create 4 digit Pin by Deepika G on April 10 2016

This is what you said: This feature is being implemented to make more secure with the user profiles.

Are you speaking of a Microsoft Account here or just Windows user account?

Also I may not have written very well but one of my questions was, Is there any benefit to using a Microsoft Account to login in just to use your PC for everyday use, and if yes what are the benefits?
