    How can I prevent appearing ".tmp.drivedownload folder in OneDrive" folder appearing on Desktop?

    I tried deleting it several times. In a previous posting I got an answer that it is a temporary folder when some file is downloaded from 'Google Drive', but I do not see any option to tweak it for my purpose

  2. onedrive Online folder does not appear in OneDrive desktop app

    I have a folder on OneDrive that appears when I look at it in a browser but does not appear in the OneDrive desktop app. How can I get it to synch there?

    Thank you

    Making PC desktop path native to onedrive folder?

    Hi, I am using Microsoft office 365 as part of my institution package. Is it possible for the PC desktop files to natively display a folder from the onedrive? I want to make all common C: locations to onedrive locations. So if anything happens, I always have everything sync online?

    Previously I synced the locations so from "C:\user\username" to other places on the PC. Previously, I use syncback to syncfolders to Onedrive and other HD's. However, this step is just redundant. When you sync onedrive to the PC, you still need to specify a place on the PC. So from "C:\user\username\ onedrive". Technically, Onedrive still uses a physical place on the PC to store files.
    So what I did is that I specify which part of the onedrive to replace "My Documents", "My Pictures", "Downloads" folder in the quick access. I am having a problem specifying or replacing the Desktop folder. Is it possible to change my native desktop to display directly the desktop on the onedrive online? The only problem I see is application shortcuts. You cannot specify a shortcut to appear on the onedrive folder. Aside from that, I get full autosave function of MS files which is connected to Onedrive. If it is not possible to replace the desktop file, I will still use the same solution with syncback.




    Thanks for the suggestions.

    "Email Attachments" folder appears in my OneDrive. Why?

    Basically, the problem is unsolvable at the time.

    "The feature to permanently prevent OneDrive from creating the Email Attachments folder is not yet available."

    Also: Please don't auto-create the email attachments folder – Feature Suggestions for Microsoft OneDrive

    Those geniuses at Microsoft did it again... Facepalm.
