    Two computers have different files on OneDrive.


    Awhile ago, I found had both SkyDrive and OneDrive storage locations on my computer. The SkyDrive contained files from Windows 8.1, and the OneDrive had files stored since I installed Windows 10. So I moved the files from SkyDrive to OneDrive I think and deleted the SkyDrive icon from the directory .


    Now, at my 2nd location, also Windows 10 I looked for my files on OneDrive and could find only the old ones from 8.1.


    How do I configure OneDrive on the 2nd computer to access all the ones on the primary one.

    :)

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    Hi Williams,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    It seems that you have set sync settings to sync every folder and as well as external hard drive and save only on cloud. We would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to avail folders (Docs) locally.



    1. Install OneDrive and open
      File Explorer      .
    2. Right click on OneDrive icon on the right pane.
    3. Then select Make available offline.



      You may also want to refer
      OneDrive help       and go through all topics under
      Popular topics and check for settings.





      Hope it helps.
