When I am able to load the data after several tries it shows that the path to the data includes OneDrive. There is also another issue I’m having that I suspect, but can’t confirm, is related to OneDrive and that is a particular program that has trouble finding my data. I haven’t done that because I’m afraid that when I re-install OneDrive and retrieve files, etc it will back up other more-important files automatically and I’ll have compounded my problem. I asked you what to do about the situation and you told me to re-install OneDrive, retrieve my files, mark them as not to be backed up to OneDrive, and then re-uninstall it. As I had no need or use for OneDrive I finally uninstalled it only to later find out I could no longer access some of my files that were “backed up” on OneDrive. Right away I maxed out my 5Gb of OneDrive storage and was constantly getting messages to that effect. That is until Windows 10 came along with OneDrive already installed and running, meaning that after upgrading to Windows 10 I had it running on four computers without my consent and without my knowing what it would do to my computer and me. And OneDrive wasn’t even a consideration. Although I have one issue with it, that of backing up useless files that the program won’t let me prevent because it has no filter to do so, overall I am satisfied with it. In my case I was long backing up my stuff to the cloud using Sugar Sync. If they don’t it’s a whole different story.


Leo, your comments about OneDrive are well and good if a person “wants” to use it.

OneDrive, Microsoft’s cloud storage service, is indeed free. Just what is OneDrive? And what’s it good for? Check out Half a Dozen Uses for OneDrive.
