Microsoft's OneDrive is one of the most popular cloud storage services out there, with millions of users worldwide. However, OneDrive has its downsides, which makes a lot of people complain about Microsoft's policies for its service. One of the most requested features for OneDrive is the ability to use multiple accounts in the same folder.

• Set Up Multiple Onedrives On A Computer

Go to settings/accounts/sync your settings - turn it offI assume that would be how it shares files. You are using same account so its probably in roving. Sure they not on onedrive?Settings sync are disabled. I can literally accept the files on the desktop of one computer from the other.

Set Up Multiple Onedrives On A Computer

I don't use OneDriveMy concern is if I have another computer on my network (owned by someone else, with a different login), would they still be able to access my files? Or is it that my computers can access each other because they share the same login. Are they in same workgroup? I don't know otherwise.I think its only cause you share same account on 2 devices that you can see the files, another user wouldn't have the right permissions to even access the foldersThey are connected to the same router.

I don't know anything about workgroup.I am conscripting my minimally tech savvy parents (who are on the other side of the country) to do an experiment once they have a chance. I'll have them disable network discovery on all three of their computer. Then they will see if my dad's laptop can access dad's desktop (which share the same login), and then they will see if my mom's laptop can access my dad's desktop (which don't share the same login).If you (or anyone else with computers on the same and different logins) can see how this works, that would be much appreciated. I meant to type homegroup, but you would have needed to set one up, its not done automatically. THis talks about homegroups - its for 8 but its similar enough: have another PC here on another login but I can access all their files as I have a homegroup set up and have shared all my files with them anyway.its probably cause you both on same routerI don't have a homegroup setup. Just to confirm, you don't think a third computer (with a different login) could force access to my computers, right?My concern is if someone hacks my WPA2 ever or if I have a roommate again. I don't want people who share the same router to be able to get into my files.

Why not make a local account on one of your PC and see if it can see the files you are worried about.I believe its just cause both PC are on same account and same router that it shows them all. But test it and see.Gah. When I try to make an user account and then login to it, it says 'User Profile Service service failed to sign in / User profile cannot be loaded'Furthermore, when my parents tried this my dad's computers could see my mom's laptop but not each other for some odd reason. My dad could not access my mom's files, but because his two computers could not see each other, I could not test this.

Hi All!I'm actually a Microsoft Certified Partner and just purchased the Action Pack, which includes Office 365 and all of the business features.What I'm trying to do is use the Office 365 features for Office and Exchange mostly, and possibly OneDrive (since my personal one is only 35GB). I sync all of my documents and most of my pictures to my OneDrive currently, and want to continue to do so.

I achieve this by changing the location of the Documents folder on all of my computers, from UsersNAMEDocuments to UsersNAMEOneDriveDocuments and that works very well.But, I also want access to stream Xbox One games to my computer, as well as have access to apps I've purchased on my personal account.Being as I own my business, it doesn't matter to me what I put on my personal computer. So, any options are fine!All of my computers are running Windows 10 Pro.My original thought was to setup the computer as 'my company owns this' so that I could login with my O365 account on the computer. Then, I was going to transfer my files over to the new account. But, as I was preparing to do this I realized the stuff about the apps I already purchased, and xbox, etc.What I was considering doing was logging into my personal Live account and then adding the work features? Is this the best way to achieve both accounts?I suppose I COULD make a second username as my personal Live account for when I wanted to play Xbox, but I'd really rather not do this.Does anyone have any other advice?Thanks in advance!.

I haven't tried the OneDrive for Business yet. I'm going to try this as well as 'Add a work/school account'Unrelated to my question, but related to your response:For clients, I have setup Azure AD Free and it syncs to their O365, and their emails become their MS accounts. It's so convenient because we don't even need an on-premise server for their needs - they can login to any computer and OneDrive will eventually sync.

They don't switch computers often so the syncing doesn't really become an issue. I was actually planning on doing it this way, as stated above, but then realized I'd lose a lot of my personal stuff.

We'll see =).
