Can no longer make sense of OneDrive after new installation of Windows.

[ssilvuk]

I've been using OneDrive for years to backup the contents of my documents folder. Nothing fancy, just a means of ensuring that everything I create is safely stored in the cloud.

It worked perfectly for me until the other day, when I built a new PC with a fresh installation of Windows 10. Now, OneDrive has created a new version of my documents folder (which is on an external hard disk) in the 'Users' folder on my C drive. Furthermore, it isn't uploading new files I create in my original documents folder.

Is there any way I can regain control of OneDrive so that I can make it behave as before. Actually, just understanding what the hell it's doing now would be a start.

Many thanks in advance

Steve

You have to get to OneDrive settings to change.
Right click the OneDrive taskbar icon or the OneDrive icon in explorer to get to settings.

You can right click the OneDrive documents folder to add it to your Documents library.
