    OneDrive for 2 Microsoft Accounts


    I login into my Windows 10 PC with MS Account-X. OneDrive is displayed in File Explorer with limit of 5GB.


    Recently a family member has purchased a OneDrive Family subscription where I am allocated with 1 TB. I used a secondaryAccount-Y for this subscription as the folders are related to our family business.


    Is it correct that one cannot have two OneDrive accounts displayed and sync in File Explorer?

    If so what do I do to have all my folders displayed and sync in File Explorer?


    Thank you in advance.

    :)

    Windows 8 with 2 Microsoft accounts?

    Yea, I would create a local account and just use your school account to login to Outlook and Onedrive.

    Edit:
    Here switch between local and microsoft account.

    I was thinking of doing that, but it will be a PITA setting everything up on the 2nd account again. I might go that way and just spend the time getting the account in order.

    The problem is, I would need to switch at the start of every day. Extra reset and waiting for the settings to be applied etc. Also, I'm not sure whether one drive would be maintained after switching back to a local account. I wouldn't want to have to re-sync every time I logged in. I may have to do some testing to see if onedrive is maintained after switching back to a local account.

    Yes. Steps 2.1 through 2.3 are meant to be done in a browser signing in to the primary OneDrive account, after receiving the email from secondary OneDrive account that account sent in step 1.7.
