Windows 10: OneDrive in the Cloud and on my computer

When I link or save one of my computer folders to be on onedrive there will be a mirrored entry on my computer.

For example, when first starting on onedrive I choose my Document folder located at D:\Users\"user name"\documents. After setting that up I will still have my document folder on my computer as well as online at "onedrive.com". Also now on my computer, there is a OneDrive location in my files listings. Here is where my confusion comes in. I typically work with my "Documents" folder. When items are saved there, they do not update to onedrive. Is this normal? Am I now supposed to work within the onedrive file location on my computer? Updates there do not sync to my documents folder. Therefore I really have two documents folders that don't communicate with each other.


If I select "Always keep on this device" within the onedrive file location, it appears that a second "Documents" folder is now saved on my computer occupying twice the space. If I delete a file in the onedrive folder it will also be deleted on my computer D:\OneDrive\Documents in this example. but will not be deleted in my computer documents folder.


?? too confusing... What is a proper operating procedure when using a onedrive cloud storage without having to maintain the original AND the cloud copies?

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

OneDrive folder icon changed to plain

Hi,

Thank you for replying.

I understand your concern and suggest you to Unlink OneDrive and run OneDrive setup
again and check. Here is the steps:

• 
  Right-click the white OneDrive cloud icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.
  
  
  
  (You might need to click the Show hidden icons arrow next to the notification area to see the
  OneDrive icon.)
  
• 
  Click Settings, and then click Unlink.
  
• 
  Follow the steps in the Welcome to OneDrive wizard to set up OneDrive.
  

Do notify us if the issue still persists and we'll be glad to help.
