Getting frustrated trying to find where my new laptop is putting files
I keep having to hunt around to find where files are being put! Everything by default goes into OneDrive Personal Folder. Being cynical, I can't help wondering if this is a cunning plan to fill up ...
Go to the OneDrive cloud icon on the taskbar > Settings > Sync and Backup > "Manage Backup" and toggle off folder backup. You will then have the option to save files to your computer going forward.
By default, OneDrive backs up only files on your C: drive, so files on a separate partition or external drive are safe.
