How Do I Store Files on My Computer and Not OneDrive?

Описание: ➡️ In this video, I explain *how to store files on your computer instead of OneDrive**, addressing a common confusion many users face. I break down the **key rule**: files within the OneDrive folder are managed and synced by OneDrive, while files outside of it remain unaffected. I demonstrate how to locate the OneDrive folder, avoid saving files there, and manage default save locations in applications like Microsoft Office. Additionally, I discuss the impact of OneDrive’s backup feature, which can move folders like Documents into OneDrive, and how to regain control of your file storage. Watch this video for a **step-by-step guide to managing your files effectively* and ensuring they stay where you want them.
