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

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

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

Very useful thank you..any idea how to change the date Format to dd/mm/yyyy from the default US settings?

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
