How to Sync OneDrive Files Locally

With OneDrive, you can sync files between your computer and the cloud.

Check if OneDrive is already installed

If you’re using Windows 10 or 11, your computer likely already has the OneDrive app installed.

If not, install the Windows version of the OneDrive sync app.

Once installed

Open OneDrive app

When OneDrive Setup starts, enter your email, and select Sign in.

After you are successfully logged in, you will be asked to choose a location.

On the Your OneDrive folder screen, select Next to accept the default folder location for your OneDrive files. If you want to change the folder location, select Change location.

Click Next.

You're all set. Your OneDrive files will appear in File Explorer in the OneDrive folder.
