Windows 10: OneDrive - How to retrieve file back from one drive

How to retrieve files back from one drive to PC

:)

 

Files missing in confusion between "onedrive app" and "onedrive-personal in finder"....how to retrieve them?

• After Mac upgrade few months back, onedrive app was not working.
  
• Another version of onedrive was installed and it used to show as onedrive-personal in finder.
  
• All files were being stored in this finder folder.
  
• After last week upgrade, finder one-drive disappeared and earlier onedrive app has started working.
  
• Problem is that the files stored in finder onedrive-personal are not to be found in onedrive app.
  
• where do i look for my files saved over the past months and how to retrieve them?

Recent shortcuts for apps show files on OneDrive instead of local hard drive

I was able to follow the steps and uncheck the "Use Office apps to sync" box but it didn't change Office's behavior. I opened and closed an Excel spreadsheet on my local hard drive. After that, when I right-clicked on the Excel icon pinned to the taskbar, a link to the OneDrive cloud file was in the list of recent files instead of a link to the file on my hard drive.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.
