Windows 10: Stop syncing files between 2 PC use same MS account

Hi

I have one MS account and using it to log on every device I'm using. I have 2 PC, one laptop for work and one desktop for entertainment. But the problem is whatever actions i do on this pc will happen on the other, especially files one the desktop screen. I want to separate information between them for different purposes. Still need using account for store, remote management...

I'm using window 10

Thanks and regards

:)

 

Mail app stopped syncing in windows 10

Original Title: MS Mail

The 2 accounts that I have in MSM stopped syncing and/or updating 2 weeks ago. I have read the suggestions to delete and re set up but that is not working. When I select Manage accounts I can see the two accounts listed on the right but clicking on them
accomplishes nothing and I am unable to delete or edit.

 

Google account (mail / calendar) not syncing in Windows 10

I'm having a problem with the default Mail and Calendar apps in Windows 10. For a while I was able to sync my Google account emails (Gmail) and calendar in those apps, but about a week ago, it has stopped working: the calendar is empty (no events, and no calendars listed), and the emails that were already synced are still there, but syncing doesn't bring any new email.

I tried deleting my Google account from the mail (or calendar) app, by going to "settings -> accounts", and then re-creating the account. I did that three times. Each time I was able to complete the following steps:

1. enter my Gmail address,
   
2. then my Google account password,
   
3. then the confirmation code sent by SMS,
   
4. and finally got to the screen "Windows would like to..." (permissions listing), on which I clicked "Accept" (obviously).
   

The first time, I then got a Windows message "Something went wrong", followed by an error code (I didn't write it down).

The second time, I didn't get this error message, so it looked like the account was successfully created (it appeared in my accounts list in the settings of those apps), but nothing was synced: both apps (mail / calendar) remained empty. (I tried syncing manually by clicking the sync button in the mail app: still nothing, even though the app confirmed that it was "up to date".)

For my third attempt, I had found this question, so I went and created an "app password" in my Google account, specifically for those apps. But when I got to the password screen (step 2 described above) and entered this app password instead of my regular account password, I got an error message (from Google) asking me to enter my account password and not an app password. So I did that, and that got me exactly the same result as my second attempt (account created but nothing synced).

I also tried both answers given on the same question (first via "settings > accounts > add account > Other account", and second via "settings > accounts > add account > Advanced setup"), but none of them worked for me (again, account created but nothing synced).

Has anyone experienced the same problems? How can I make this work?

UPDATE: a few months back (early October 2015) I received an email from Microsoft inviting me to "reconnect to Google" (that was the title of the email). I ignored it for a while, but recently followed the steps in this email and now everything seems to be working fine. So I'm guessing that MS somehow fixed whatever bug it was.

 

USING MS ONE-DRIVE BETWEEN 2 PC's

Attn: Greg Carmack...

About a year ago you addressed the process of using One-Drive to sync files between 2 computers. I wonder if you could elaborate on your answer.

I have two Win 10 PC's both using Office 365. I have 2-3 Excel files that I would like to have synced between the two desktops. I would like to be able to input the data in either PC, and have it be mirrored in the other. I don't know if if this works similarly
to Dropbox, where I would go to the Dropbox site to make entries in a file, and after Saving, the file on my PC was also updated. Problems with it arose when I went to the local file on my PC to enter data. Eventually it became a big mess. Can you list the
steps that need to be taken to facilitate what I want to accomplish? Thank you ...Jeff

BTW---This process is strictly for my own use. There will be no other users involved. Same MS account on both PC's.
