    One Drive as back up only.


    Almost all of my personal files are being automatically kept on one drive and not my local drive and now I have a mix of files in two different places-yikes. I would like my local drive to be the source for all my documents and have OD keep copies of everything as a backup. So 1 How do I move all my files back to my local drive and 2 Is it possible to just have OD act as a back up? and if so, how? I am using a dell laptop w/ Windows 11 home and a MS 365 subscription. Thanks!

    :)

    Suggestions for Maps/Drive

    Some more suggestions



    - When you set a destination in drive, you should be able to set an address which is existing in the contact list

    - You should be able to view all step by step navigations. right now you are not able to see complete direction steps.

    One Drive as back up only.

    Optical Drive Issue

    Hi Jerry, you're welcome.

    Here's mine after I rt clk'd on my Documents Folder like you show in Scrsht 11:

    One Drive as back up only. 264204d1579788485t-optical-drive-issue-send-.png


    I'd like to wait until you reply to my question in Scrsht 12, if it is a remnant of the process try deleting the one on the dsktp and see if the one in send to also disappears. If it stays in send to, test it, and if you're still having problems I'd suggest you could go back to: Option One: To Add or Remove Items in Send To context menu for Your Account (current user) and do Step 3 to remove it and start over using Step 4 but be very careful of your steps in creating the shortcut and be sure you d&d that shortcut to the send to part of the address.

    I'm busy today and I probably won't be back until the evening.
