    The OneDrive folders cannot be identified in the Win 11 Explorer..there's a bunch of folders...you don't know which ones are onedrive and which ones are your own native folders... so why is there NO directory Trdee like there used to be? I see independent contractors can make me an Excel tree. That's not what I am seeking

  2. Possible to Sync Hard Drive Folder with OneDrive Folder?

    I would like to create a sync in which, whenever I update files in a folder on my hard drive, it automatically updates the corresponding folder on my OneDrive.

    I do not want to have to manually move updated files from the hard drive folder to my OneDrive folder, and I don't want to update the files twice, once for the hard drive and again for the OneDrive.

    I want to simply update the files in my hard drive folder only. And, without having to touch my OneDrive at all, it automatically updates the same corresponding files in the corresponding OneDrive folder.

    Is this even possible to do? Or must all changes to files in OneDrive be done directly in and only in OneDrive?

  3. Random folders appearing to my new hard drive

    Options > Scan options

    Then after that, enable options > hide virustotal.com clean entries ... only suspicious stuff will remain.
    Check the complete list on the Everything tab, it may not be explorer extension listed on that tab.

    It may be something stupidly simple like onedrive/skydrive being setup to sync folders that are being dumped remotely.

    Can't delete hard drive folders & files from onedrive folder

    Can't delete hard drive folders & files from onedrive folder

    My onedrive folder is synced on my hard drive. I can delete folders & files from the web but the files are neither automatically deleted--synchronized--with my hard drive nor can I manually delete them from the hard drive. What am I
    missing?
