Importing Storage Folders from WLM to Windows 10

Hi,

To resolve your concern, see the steps below:

• Create the folders; then, go to one of your storage folders.
• Select all; then, drag them to the online folder. (It will sync over to your Windows 10 app via the online email service).

Let us know how it goes.

 

Files folders and storage

Hi Peter,

We need more information to be bale to help you better with this issue. Are you facing any issues when saving the word documents or when composing any documents?

If the issue is with saving documents, where are you trying to save them and what is the error message displayed?

I would suggest you to check if the users folder is displayed as "read only'. Open File Explorer, click on the driver where windows is installed, and open the users folder. Right click on the users folder, and then check in the general tab, if it is shown
as 'read only'. If yes, I would suggest you to try these steps and check if the issue persists:

• Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are
  
  located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
• Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
• Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child
  
  object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click
  
  Ok.
