Important points in OneDrive Setup
In OneDrive Setup there are two screens where you can monitor the following:
- On the This is your OneDrive folder screen, select Next to accept the default location for your OneDrive files.
If you want to change the location of the folder, select Change Location. This is the best time to make this change.
- On the All Your Files, Ready and On-Demand screen, you can see how files are marked to show as online only, local, or always available.
With Files On-Demand, you can access all your files on OneDrive without having to download them and take up space on your Windows device. Select Next.

Everything is ready. Your OneDrive files will appear in File Explorer in the OneDrive folder.
A new white or blue cloud icon (or both) is now visible in the notification area, and your work files are synchronized with your computer.
