Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
The Office thread caused me to look at my One Drive and now I have questions. I posted in the MS community forum but no one has responded.
I recently reinstalled Windows after I made a dumb mistake and corrupted some files. My One Drive came back intact and all my files quickly downloaded to the proper locations on my C drive. Now, everything works as always except for the One Drive App. It doesn't appear to exist on my PC. There is a One Drive icon in my task bar but instead of bringing up the app, it is a shortcut to a file explorer window. Same with typing One Drive in the start bar - it says One Drive app but just takes me to an explorer window. Online guidance indicates that they should point to an app that lets me tweak my One Drive settings.
I found a couple of executables. In windows>program Files>One Drive I see onedrive.exe and in >Update I see onedrivesetup.exe. I clicked away and neither of these executables appeared to do anything. I also note that add/remove programs shows a 275MB One Drive program that can be uninstalled. I also found an MS site where a Windows OneDrive desktop app can be downloaded.
My questions to those who might know is: should I download and install the app and see what happens? Uninstall One Drive and then download and install the app? I would not like to accidentally blow my cloud files away.
