Can't see my OneDrive files in File Explorer

[bockersjv]

I have a one drive folder in File Explorer but none of my files are there. This despite all my photos showing in the photos app. Did not have this issue on My surface 2 with 8.1

W10 only shows synced files unlike 8 that showed the offline files as well.

Yep just found that out and raised it with MS. Its a pants idea that forces you to use the browser to find files.

At least the photo app fills in that gap for now.

It doesn't sort by folders though, so you'll have to scroll to the date the picture was taken, witch really sucks if your a digital artist. I wish the app would show the folders, like it did in windows 8. I don't understand why they would remove a nice feature like that.

Found a fantastic solution to this:-

Stumbled across it on my YouTube subscriptions. Basically you set it up a as a network drive using your one drive credentials. Works a treat.
