How to Add or Remove OneDrive in Navigation Pane of File Explorer in Windows 10
In Windows 10, you can easily save your files to OneDrive and get to them from any device, like your PC, tablet, or phone.
OneDrive is free online storage at OneDrive.com that comes with your Microsoft account. It’s like an extra hard drive that’s available from any of the devices you use. You no longer need to email files to yourself or carry around (and possibly lose) a USB flash drive. Instead, whether you’re on your laptop and working on a presentation, viewing photos from your last family vacation on your new tablet, or on your phone reviewing your shopping list, you can get to your files in OneDrive.
Getting started with OneDrive is easy. You can add files already on your PC to OneDrive by either copying them over or moving them from your PC. When you save new files, you can choose to save them to OneDrive so you can get to them from any device and share them with other people. And, if your PC has a built-in camera, you can automatically save copies of the photos in your camera roll to OneDrive, so you'll always have a backup.
This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the OneDrive folder from the navigation pane of File Explorer for only your account without disabling OneDrive in Windows 10.
Opening the OneDrive app will automatically restore OneDrive back to the navigation pane of File Explorer.
