OneDrive Add Multiple Accounts - OneDrive Personal and OneDrive for Work or School

Microsoft OneDrive comes in two flavors. OneDrive Personal or Home. If you have a M365 personal or home account subscription or the free OneDrive, you have this OneDrive. The other OneDrive account is OneDrive for Work or School (formerly called OneDrive for Business). It is possible to run both on one computer. My OneDrive Personal is a white cloud in the system tray, and my OneDrive for Work or School is a blue cloud.

Thank you Chris for making this tutorial. That helped me after trying to add my OneDrive for business for two hours without success.

[David-vvdv]

SUPER HELPFUL!!! I've been trying to do this for the past 2 years and now I have finally found a video that actually properly explains how to do this!!! Thank you so much Chris:)

After attempting numerous time to add my new uni account to my laptop, it took me less than a minute after watching your video! Thank you

[gordononley]

Thank-you! Unlike MS Help pages, your instructions were concise and completely clear - and it worked!!!

[marco-itsallaboutcars]

Thanks!!! Took me longer to find your video than to setup the business account 🙂 Well done!!!

Thank you so much, I just got a new dell laptop for college. I was getting a major headache trying to figure out how to add my college one drive😮‍💨

[quarryryde]

You did NOT show the step where you named your work Onedrive as "Chris Menard Training".
Did not work for me. Probably because I only have the free Onedrive account.

[tffnymels]

Very helpful, sir. Thank you so much!

[rafalprokopiuk]

Thank you Sir, you just solved my user's issue :) I will close the case then.

not working for me :( it's saying i have to one account unlink first

[glenfarrelly]

I can’t add it says you’re already syncing a personal OneDrive on this computer unlink that account to add a new one

[BamaWig]

That's does not work for me. It just says sorry, onedrive can't add your folder right now. Please contact support. No idea what support its talking about its just that generic statement.

[jpviegas]

I tried your method and doesn't work. I even UNLINKED the other account to try it. It doesn't work. It says "You're already syncing a personal OneDrive on this computer. Unlink that account to add a new one". If the solution is to classify a PERSONAL ACCOUNT and a WORK ACCOUNT, how to do it? Many Thanks

Either Error Code 0x8004de40 or " sorry, onedrive can't add your folder right now. Please contact support" shows up when trying to add/log in my word acct.
