Copy files to OneDrive
The safest way to place your files into OneDrive is to copy them from File Explorer and paste them into your OneDrive folders. Dragging them can result in files being dropped into unintended folders, making it difficult to locate them afterwards.
You can copy files to your OneDrive folder in one of the two following ways:
- Individually from your computer to OneDrive.
- Sync the entire Documents folder from your computer to your OneDrive.
