Re: Why is onedrive creating copies for my local files when I upload them to onedrive?
Trinity123 Yes. If I remember correctly how I did it (it's been a long time), it seems that it didn't have to do with One Drive, but the setup of my Microsoft Word. In my "Word preferences --> Save", I accidentally clicked "always create a backup copy". I un-clicked it and solved the issue. I use a Mac, I don't know how PC system is arranged, but perhaps you can find similar way to do it.16KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Why is onedrive creating copies for my local files when I upload them to onedrive?
To be precise, I shall probably correct my original answer: it's not that OneDrive creates a copy of my file, but I think it looks more like the old file is left in the local storage, while its copy is created in the OneDrive. So I end up having two copies in two folders: one in my local storage and the other in my OneDrive folder. The confusing thing is that any changes I make in my documents get synced in my OneDrive but not the local storage. So I started with having two identical word documents, but as I make changes, the one in my local storage remains the same and the one in my OneDrive gets updated and synced.22KViews0likes2CommentsWhy is onedrive creating copies for my local files when I upload them to onedrive?
Hello, When I first started using OneDrive, the Word files that I selected to "autosave" are moved into my OneDrive without leaving a copy in my local storage. However, recently, I noticed that, when I move some files into OneDrive, the same files are left in my Finder, so now there are two identical sets of documents in my Finder (I use Mac), one in my local file, another in my OneDrive file. Obviously, the one under my local file does not have "autosave", and the one in OneDrive has opened "autosave". My questions are: 1) What have I done? I'm not sure what settings I accidentally turned on or off, and why is there such a change. 2) How do I go back to the old setting? I mean that when I move files to OneDrive, they don't exist in my local storage anymore.25KViews0likes5Comments
