Windows 10: What counts as my device?

I want to share files between two desktops, but don't know what the term "my devices" entails. Does it mean all devices using my Microsoft account? If so, I want to keep things as localized as possible. For that matter, what counts as nearby? Within the same house? A mile radius? The same network?

:)

 

I have added the file count column to my folder in File Explorer. However, the actual file count is not displaying.

Hi Loren,

I appreciate if you could answer a
few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

• How did you added file count column for folders in File Explorer? What are the steps did you followed?
• When you say, "actual file count is not displaying" is this issue specific to any folder or happening with all folders?
• Have you installed any third party anti-virus on your system?

Meanwhile, I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if this helps.

• Open File Explorer.
• Click on View from navigation pane and choose Detail pane.

Write to us with the above information and status of the issue to assist you further.

Thank You.

 

total number (count) of contacts / people?

Hello avioing,

Unfortunately at the moment there is no such mechanism to count all the contacts on the phone. As suggested, you would have to go to windowsphone.live.com and get the count from there. If you have Outlook with Exchange, you should go get the total count
from within Outlook, same applies to Gmail and other contact lists. Thanks a lot for contributing to the forum!
