    Changing OneDrive download location


    Before using OneDrive all my data files were held on a seperate partition ion E: drive. I have now stored the main folders (eg Documents, Photographs, Spreadsheets) on OneDrive and now realise that as well as offline they are held in C: Users/Chris. Can I alter it so that these continue to be held on E: rather than in C:Users/Chris?

    Unlink OneDrive, make a new folder on E: drive, name it OneDrive. Copy everything from C:\Users\Your_Username to new OneDrive folder on E: drive. Setup OneDrive again, this time linking it to new OneDrive folder on E. drive.
