Windows 10: When I update a file on onedrive is it updated on my local c drive?

I have 2 laptops. The older laptop is where I first started using OneDrive. Is the data synched between OneDrive and my local C drive? My newer computer's local drive does not have any data so the local drive is not synched with OneDrive. Should I copy the data in OneDrive to my local drive? I have an external hard drive on my older laptop. OneDrive data is backed up to the external hard drive.If I select a folder from This Pc on my older laptop is this data synched with OneDrive?

Recent shortcuts for apps show files on OneDrive instead of local hard drive

I was able to follow the steps and uncheck the "Use Office apps to sync" box but it didn't change Office's behavior. I opened and closed an Excel spreadsheet on my local hard drive. After that, when I right-clicked on the Excel icon pinned to the taskbar, a link to the OneDrive cloud file was in the list of recent files instead of a link to the file on my hard drive.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Synchronise files between OneDrive and my local hard drive, i.e., in both directions?

Hello Nico

Thank you for you suggestions, I may explore these in due course!

If we view the OneDrive folder (visible on the Local drive) as being distinct from from the OneDrive ( data/folders in the cloud) then the lack of synchronisation between the Local folders (on C and the OneDrive (on C makes sense, because they are one
and the same, there is no need for it because they are both "local".

Synchronisation then occurs between the OneDrive (Local) and the OneDrive (Cloud), and vice versa, depending on which device you are accessing the Cloud from.

If we manually copy or backup our Local (C folders to OneDrive (C we are just duplicating the information on C:, and vice versa. With this view it's now understandable, at least to me.

The status of the OneDrive files (on C may play a role, but it does not look like this "synchronisation" is necessary on the Local C:, especially if the files statuses are set to "Always available on this device".

Regards
