Onedrive – why multiple folders in Explorer
OK I know many folks don’t like OneDrive, but I have 2 PC’s and a laptop, and I want files and emails to be available on either device.
Now that I found out how to stop my desktop being copied between the units that all have different display size and resolution, OneDrive basically lets me do that.
However, it presents an annoying feature whereby there are 2 different branches with folders on my primary PC.
There is a one drive folder – in John -Personal and John Chapman, the problem is I then see multiple downloads, document, picture folders etc, which confuses me.
How do I simplify this – I create Word, Excel and PowerPoint files and use outlook for 2 email addresses – those are the files I want available on either of the 3 devices I use.
Is this duplication or just a view selection that I don’t know how to control?
Did I describe my problem clearly? It’s hard to show full detail without showing more folder content.
Thanks.
