Windows 10: Storage problem with onedrive on my local disk

HelloI don't know what I have done but it seems to me I am storing the same things over and over again on onedrive and on my local disk C:´\Yesterday I noticed I had only 19GB left of 220 GB. I got help with that but my settings are still wrong. What I want is to edit files and then it will automatically updated/stored in onedrive. But somehow I am editing it by default on onedrive>Personal-drive>cam>and the folder i want to use. If I press Desktop it will lookonedrive>Personal-drive>Desktop it always swaps to this layout. So I must have a loop setup where I access it on camilla

Synching OneDrive to new PC created confusing local disk storage

Marco

unfortunately not. I tried them all except hiding in Registry as I do not have 2 copies of "OneDrive" directory.

In OneDrive Cloud, I have a number of master directory and data stored in sub directories. on old laptop, this directory hierarchy and storage of files was all copied to single OneDrive folder on the local disk.

on connecting and synching OneDrive on new laptop, my data directories and subdirectories are now stored in directory called "Documents" in local OneDrive directory. this is mirrored in "Documents" directory in my user parent directory in windows explorer.
changes made in either instance are mirrored in other instance.

I cannot add screenshots but to try to explain;

1. OneDrive creates and maintains \Pictures\CameraRoll directory. this is only synchronised with local OneDrive Directory
2. I have data directory "CloudStored" which is visible in OneDrive online in same window as "Pictures" directory
3. on laptop synchronisation, directory "Documents" created in OneDrive directory and "CloudStored" placed in the Documents directory
4. Sybnchronised copy of "Documents" directory placed in windows user to directory (in now have 2 directories "Documents as Microsoft creates one by default)

I hope you can visualise this?

syncronizing local OneDrive and Web OneDrive

I have local OneDrive storage as well as OneDrive online storage. I would like to implement a storage data synchronization mechanism as follows:

- initially I create a file and save it to local storage,

- then it is automatically cloned/duplicated to network storage,

- when a change is made in the local storage, its clone in the network storage is automatically updated.

How to do this correctly?

If the mechanism I suggested is incorrect, please suggest an efficient mechanism for saving files changed locally to the network storage without having to make changes to the network storage as well each time.
