How to sync content of multiple OneDrive accounts to your WIndows 10 desktop.

Just wanted to say super thanks for this tutorial. Was able to sync a folder from NY to my co-producer in Venezuela, now we can simultaneously work on music together and the folders and files stay right in sync. Game Changer!

Still works in July 2018, thank you so much!

I had run out of space on my Office 365 Personal account and upgraded to Office 365 Home so I could have 5 TB of space instead of 1 TB of space. I was mistaken, it gives 5 users 1 TB of space so I created another account, and needed a solution to sync everything under 1 account since the OneDrive folder only allows 1 user per sign-in.

You solved my issue, thanks a million!

THAT IS NOT "SYNC", THAT IS "SHARE"
They could work very similar but are different concepts. You are syncronizing by sharing. "Sync" means every thing one can do in an account automatically appears in the another account (without making anything), not just in shared folders as you did.

Thanks for this video. Your instructions are clear and very helpful in solving the dual sync problem.

Hi, Just tried your tutorial. However, unfortunately, when the mail is opened, there is no option to "Open in OneDrive" option now!
It says only "open", and when opened it opens in my secondary one drive from which I used to share the folder initially. In other words, it doesn't take me to my primary OneDrive when opened the link in the e mail.

Thank you so much! This video was the solution to use all 6TB in OneDrive home, for my personal use!!

Doesn't this go against your storage limits in the destination folder?

to me this does not solve the issue of having the benefit of two account and the extra storage! since you are syncing you will run out of space on the main account much quicker. if all you want to do is use the second account as a backup space, this will work fine but I want to have access to two personal Onedrive accounts on One PC, this does not solve that issue.

I just want to clarify, I have a main account that I use (5GB) and was given an extra account for my studies that has A LOT more storage (1TB). Can I share the study account with my main account without compromising the storage space in my main account? I need to keep the 5GB account as my main account so swapping accounts is not an option.

Kiitos! Nice video. I just tried to do this in the same way BUT my primary OneDrive is linked to a Gmail address. Does this allow the same way of linking content like you show at 4:59?

thanks.Good tutorial, and interesting solution to my problem.

Nice trick. Thank you for this. One question. The new files would use space in both OneDrive?

[ruschkapocklington]

Very much appreciated. Unfortunately it did not work for me, as your shared folder tries to download entirely into your main account and I have not the storage on my main that I have on my (paid) work account. Any suggestions would be welcome but for now i am going to ahve to sign in in browser between accounts every time i want to use them (because the url won't even work correctly when pinned to Start, yay!). Frustrating but not your fault. Keep up the good work.

Question: Does the new shared folder I moved to my primary OneDrive on my PC then count against my storage amount on the primary account as well as the secondary account?

What software you use for capture screen video ? :)

[JorgieMathew]

thanks very much I didn't notice how to add shared folder to "my onedrive"!!

[amyprickett]

Maybe they've updated Onedrive since this video posted but I have 2 Onedrive accounts on my computer. I can access both through One-drive and File Explorer. I didn't watch the full video but from the comments it sounds like this is like the other solutions people post where they tell you to share one within another. I prefer to keep mine separate.

I tried OneDrive but found it messy. SyncBack Pro provides a far better experience with multiple options to save/delete files either locally on the PC or to various cloud platforms including OneDrive. I have 2 separate OneDrive accounts which are accessed by SyncBack Pro.
