Thanks Andy, excellent tutorial, the way you've explained the initial set up of One Drive made absolute sense. The old saying is true, start wrong, finish wrong. At least now I can begin to organize my One Drive, My next tasks is to learn Outlook's benefits/role with One Drive. Keep it up Andy

[@Andy_Todd]

Hey there. Thanks so much for not only watching the video but for leaving such a nice comment - very much appreciated! I've just recently uploaded lots of short snippet videos for OneDrive, which might be useful as refreshers, so be sure to check them out if needed! Thanks again for stopping by and good luck with OneDrive!

Lol, as the vid started I thot "I bet this wont tell me what I wanna know as a noob". And sure enuf it didnt. Dont get me wrong it was a great tutorial as far as it went BUT one of the biggest (if not the primary) use cases for onedrive is as a way to back up you files. So it was certainly not "Everything" a beginner needs to know. So bummed I spent a hour that was more about the basics of file manager (or I guess funder in mac) that in onedrive. Again - a great presentational style stuff is clear and easy to digest, ya just missed ( i think) a huge piece of he onedrive puzzle. Other than that I feel you are woefully undersubscribed, keep up the good work

[@Andy_Todd]

Thanks for the feedback. I suspect you’re thinking more along the lines of backing up files using the OneDrive desktop client, which isn’t covered in this video. I did however, try to cover everything that a beginner user would need to know, including creating new files, uploading existing files, and managing and sharing files. I’m sorry you didn’t feel that I covered enough for you but would be keen to know exactly what you’d have liked to have learned about OneDrive online that you didn’t from this video. That way, I can make sure that any future OneDrive videos hit the right spot. Thanks for the comments, though, and for stopping by. Hopefully you did at least learn a few useful things that will help you a little bit!

Hello, I am new here. I enjoyed the video and learned enough to clean up what has happened. I will explain. I have a Microsoft account that can be shared on several computers. My wife and I use it on two different laptops. When I got her a new laptop recently we tried to send photos and documents to the cloud from her laptop. Now most of the files have duplicated on both the laptop and cloud. All of the files are linked to my laptop and she no longer has administrative privileges to her files on here laptop. Where did I go wrong and how can I fix this? Nothing much is wrong here, but I am working on it. LOL

Great Tutorial Thank you Sir

[@Andy_Todd]

Thanks so much, Jairo. Feel free to sub to support the channel if you haven't done so already :) Thanks

[@andresgroove]

something that is driving me a bit nut is to know what happen with the folder Documents on your HD for example. I am normally work from the folder located in the HD but when you whenever go to Onedrive.... the file or changes haven't happened yet, so I am ending having two document folders with two different files. That is the way it works??? or I am missing something out?. Thanks

[@Andy_Todd]

Yeah, in truth, I never use the desktop client for OneDrive as I’ve often experienced issues with it. Personally, I prefer just to manually upload, edit and download files, especially on the Mac where the desktop client just seems to be crap!
