Synchronize windows 10 desktop, documents and more with onedrive

There is a way to protect and synchronize our default Documents, Desktop, Images, etc. folders to our OneDrive cloud account. In the following paragraphs we explain how to do it.

How to move default user folders to OneDrive

• With File Explorer open, go to C: \ Users \ Open the Onedrive folder. Create a folder with a descriptive name (for example, MyFiles) to group the folders that we are going to move. Inside the newly created folder, create a folder for each location that you want to move to OneDrive. For example, if you are moving the Documents folder, then create a new documents folder inside Onedrive. Now we go to the section of the browser where all the default folders are located. (If you want to synchronize the documents folder) Do click on Documents and select Properties. Click on the Location tab and then on the Move button.

• When selecting the location where we want to move the content, we select the Documents folder that we created within OneDrive. Click on Apply. You will be asked to move any content from the old to the new location. Click Yes to continue.

• Click OK to complete the task.

It's that easy. Now you can repeat the same process the rest of the folders, including Desktop, Downloads, Music, Photos and Videos to the new location.

In case you want to reverse the process, we do the following.

• Onedrive open. Go to the folders you want to restore their old location. Click the folder and select Properties. Click the Location tab. Click the Restore Defaults button. Click Apply. You will be prompted to create the original folder in the old location. Click Yes to continue.
