    Question about OneDrive access from two computers


    I looked through the Tutorials and could not find this question/setup....

    I moved a bunch of files/folders to One Drive from my computer "A". They show up in the windows File Explorer and are easy to access. I want to be able to access these same files/folders from Computer "B".

    One Computer B, when I look at the One Drive folders via File Explorer I can see one folder that is the same on Computer A and B, but then there are two folders that are on One Drive but not see by Computer A.

    So I can created a link to One Drive to access these files/folders (and then access through Internet explorer browser.

    But I want to access theses files from the File Explorer too.
    I am the administrator on both computers and use the login password.

    Is there a way to have both computers access and share these One Drive files from the File Explorer view? I would like computer A and B to have the same files/folders and access.

    In OneDrive settings, on both machines, you must check that you are syncing the same folders:

    You can also choose whether the files to sync should reside on Microsoft's server for access on demand when online or be copied to your PC
