OneDrive is integrated with the Microsoft apps. Teams Meetings recordings are stored in OneDrive. We will show how to share meeting recordings, change the expiration date, and view the transcript.

I love how you are not thrown by unexpected results "just pretend it didn't find that file". HaHa A good lesson in teaching. Also liked "great question! I don't know".

Thanks, Jeff. Thanks for watching also.

As usual Great work Chris. I recetly visited your website and saw yout training courses. They are only 3 courses. Are you working on more courses on softwares doen the road like outlook and onedrive eith certificates of completions?

[@yianniskoulias9805]

Thank you Chris! Very clear information! I have one trivial but important question. After you create the personal and work accounts (white and blue cloud icons on taskbar), which of the two accounts (folders) should be accessed when you open (double click) the win10 OneDrive desktop app?

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Great question. On my computer, where I have both OneDrive personal (home), and OneDrive for Work, my machine opens my Work OneDrive by default. Here is a screenshot in case someone is wondering what the heck we are discussing. :-) drive.google.com/file/d/1TvahiJSH8bA7vcRZ0scdEkj4NxNZrbsf/view?usp=drivesdk

Chris, great video, thank you for posting. Question- on your OneDrive view you show the status column as a separate column. Mine shows the check mark and status as part of the file name. I’ve tried to change the view on both desktop and online. How do I change my view to show status as a separate column?

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Harry, open file Explorer, go to Details (1) and turn on Status Column (2). Let me know if that works. Here is a screenshot drive.google.com/file/d/1kLHw_GrkB9H-o2PnAYHGl4LB_ZG0vt-l/view?usp=drivesdk

@@ChrisMenardTraining , thanks for the response but that did not work. I already had details selected and chose 3status columns from the picker.

I am moving my files to a new computer using onedrive for the first time.... It will absolutely not sync ANY of my PDF files... Everything else treansfered quickly & easily? I've looke donline & this seems to be a common complint, but I haven't found a solution. Any insights? Also, I used Nitro Pro rather than Adabe for my PDFs if than is important in any way.... Thank you!

[@anubhav19888]

sir, i am quite frustated. please help me. As the space on C drive is too low (old computer), i selected a folder on E drive (extra SSD installed in the computer) for One drive. when i linked it with my One drive (online), it synced all documents. One of selected to be 'on the desktop'. whenever i make changes, nothing is uploaded. sometime, few files are uploaded but always a sing of two up and down arrows remain. When i open one drive online, i do not see any changes even after one hour. My question is that is it necessary to have files/folder in the' document' folder? please help me
