    OneDrive has corrupted my folder locations


    I have un-linked OneDrive from my computer. If I go to explorer and click 'This PC' in the left pane, it shows 6 folders on the right: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos. If I right click on Downloads and hit properties, the Location tab shows me: C:\Users\micha\Downloads. When I do this with Documents, the location tab isn't even there! However the General tab does say that the location is: C:\Users\micha\OneDrive. If I try to open this folder, I get an error saying location not available. I can still access my real documents folder using the Libraries option in the left pane, which links to my real documents folder which is at C:\Users\micha\Documents.

    Any advice?

    :)

  2. One Drive Synchronization to Pictures

    I am new to One Drive and just moved my pictures folder (43,000 files and 85 folders) from my computer hard drive to the OneDrive cloud location in order to backup my pictures onto the cloud. After the upload I now have a "My Pictures" folder at both locations.
    My computer hard drive still has all the folder and files but the OneDrive has folders and files as well however none of the folders contain any files. It appears that only picture files not contained within sub folders have synchronized. How do it get the
    rest of my files within these subfolders onto the OneDrive.

    OneDrive keeps crashing in Windows 10

    I have the exact same symptom, although I didn't pause anything during the upgrade.

    I wonder if the problem is because my OneDrive folder is in a non-standard location, under C:\users\username\cloud\OneDrive. I store all my cloud-synced folders in one location. After the Windows 10 upgrade, there's an empty OneDrive folder in the standard
    location, with the OneDrive icon. My OneDrive folder in my non-standard location doesn't have the OneDrive icon, it looks like a normal folder. OneDrive seems a bit confused as to which one is the "official" location.

    It comes and goes, but there's a OneDrive icon in the system tray with a red X. The tooltip when I hover over it says "Finish setting up OneDrive". When I click it opens the dialog to either choose which files to sync, or to open your OneDrive folder.
    When I click to open the OneDrive folder, it opens my OneDrive folder in the NON-STANDARD location (the one that looks like a normal folder).

    That will happen. That is why people do not use that service.

    In the properties, see if you can edit the path to be C:/Users/micha/Documents.
    Or browse to that location, right click/Properties/Location and browse to this location

    Hi Micha , AFAIK OneDrive adds itself to each of your Standard Libraries , (and being M$ , it likes to be the Default Save Option too, for each library , which i have to change ) so when you look at your Library you also see what is on OneDrive.

    I have not seen this myself but I think it should be fairly easy by going to your default library location in file Explorer , going to Properties>Location and clicking on Restore Default. I keep my Libraries on E:\ or F:\ including the Desktop, here is my Picture Library on F:\ with the Restore Button.
