    VHD created within OneDrive - any views? Pros and cons?

    Please do not take this wrong, I just want to make my point absolutely clear and therefore tell exactly what I think.

    It seems that there is a complete misunderstanding here, about what VHD is and how it works and can be used. Using a VHD in OneDrive to store user data is about the most pointless and useless ideas I have ever heard. Only thing it would do is to make using OneDrive more difficult.

    For the first, a VHD is just a file. For this to work even theoretically, it must be mounted every time computer is booted (tutorial) before OneDrive is started.

    Second, only thing needed for PC and laptop to sync user data is to setup OneDrive on both using the same Microsoft account, and store all user data on both to OneDrive. That's it.


    I really would like to know where you found such a bad advice. If possible, please post links here.

    PROS:
    • Absolutely nothing. I repeat: absolutely nothing!
    CONS:
    • Making use of OneDrive harder
    • Possible sync issues

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

    Move the OneDrive Folder

    Move the OneDrive Folder in Windows 10

    When you set up OneDrive to sync with your computer, a folder C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive will be created to store the contents. XXXX denotes your username. To move this folder to another location follow these simple steps:

    1. Unlink OneDrive from your PC:

    • Go to the taskbar notification area
    • Right-click on the OneDrive icon
    • Select settings
    • Click: Unlink this PC
    2. Delete the C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive folder

    3. Create a new folder (target folder) for OneDrive contents, e.g. D:\OneDrive

    4. Create Directory Junction for the new folder

    • In the search area of the taskbar type CMD and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
    • In the command window type
    mklink /J C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive D:\OneDrive

    adjusting it to your specific username and selection of the target folder

    5. Link again OneDrive to your PC using the OneDrive icon in the taskbar notification area
