Sharing buttons:
hi gigs welcome to the 10 forums calm in
this video we will see how to sync
multiple onedrive accounts to your
desktop ok Windows 10 is installed using
your main Microsoft account onedrive is
set to sync or or some of its content
everything is as it should be you can
access your sync to onedrive content
directly from desktop and all of its
content using a browser
unfortunately you can only sink a single
onedrive account what if you have
multiple MS accounts each with their own
onedrive and you would like to sync all
of them in your main Windows user
accounts desktop luckily there's a
simple solution to start with sign into
your additional onedrive I'm here using
another browser because I want my
default edge to be all the time signed
in to my primary onedrive and will now
set Internet Explorer to be all the time
signed in to my secondary MS accounts
onedrive I sign in from the primary MS
account and sign back in with the
secondary one to avoid a conflict with
similar folder names I prepare the
secondary onedrive to be shared by
moving all its content to a new clearly
named folder in this example I name the
new folder shared and move everything
from the root of the onedrive to this
folder
when I have selected content I want to
sync to my primary onedrive I select
move to from the menu bar selecting new
folder I can create a name my new shared
folder as I want to I click move to move
the selected content to this new folder
only thing missing is now to share this
folder with my primary MS account I
right click the folder select share and
create an invitation entering my primary
MS account address as the account I am
sharing this is my own I ran the
recipients in this case my primary MS
account rights to edit the content if I
was sharing this folder with a friend or
family member I might want to restrict
the rights to view only
go into inbox of my primary and miss
account I will now see that I have
received an invitation to share my
secondary MS accounts content
you
clicking the provided link I can see the
shared content and add it to my own
onedrive
if you want to read the full
instructions click the learn more link
last thing to do now is to select the
add to my onedrive link the shared
content of my secondary onedrive will
now be available on my primary account
and on Windows desktop if I want to say
checking my own onedrive in browser I
can now see a folder shared which is the
content of my secondary one dry
my desktop onedrive folder has already
started sinking this new shared folder
the content from my secondary onedrive
and I can access it directly from
desktop by opening the onedrive folder
a small test to see if it works as
planned I open WordPad and save a test
file to this new shared onedrive folder
on my primary accounts one dry
everything is working checking the
secondary onedrive using a browser I can
say that my test document was added
there as it should be that's about it
thanks for watching
you
