Technical Difficulties

For the past few months my computer has had some issues that had only gotten worse as time went on. It had gotten so bad to the point were there was no other option but to do a complete factory reset on it. My computer is working just fine now and I had all my drawings and files backed up on a USB drive so I didn't lose anything. However as I was restoring and organizing all my files, OneDrive just made things more difficult than it should have. It took a bit but I did figure out how to get it to stop syncing my files. It's been a pretty stressful past few weeks but thankfully everything should be all sorted out now

Take care of your computers, you guys. Tech problems are the worst and I wouldn't wish the amount of stress and headaches I went through on my worst enemy

I don't rely on OneDrive, NEVER rely on digital storage. Prepare physical backups. How do you stop getting OneDrive from syncing your files btw?

SoloSwing64 responds:

Yeah I never used OneDrive to begin with, so it frustrated the crap out of me when it kept insisting that I use it. I put all my files on USB drives now

As for how I got it to stop syncing, I recommend that you look it up and check out other sources because I think they do a better job at explaining it, but I'll give it a shot anyway. On File Explorer, there's two places you can put your files, "This PC" and "OneDrive-Personal". (At least that's what shows up for me) OneDrive-Personal is where all your files go if you have them synced and what I did was I moved everything to This PC/Quick Access so that they'll be saved directly on my computer and then I deleted everything off of OneDrive. I hope that works for you and I explained it good enough

Yeah that is a pain in the ass to deal with. At least you had your work saved on an USB drive or else you'd be in real shit.
