OneDrive not showing in File Explorer

Question

Sunday, June 21, 2020 10:12 PM

Windows 10 Pro Build 1909

My grandson's account on OneDrive was deactivated due to no usage for some time. I reactivated it and can access in web browser. Account synchs to OneDrive.

When I open file explorer, it does not show the OneDrive folder. How do I get it to show in file explorer?

Hi John,

Try to search OneDrive in Windows search box which beside Start button. It will show OneDrive in File Explorer. After that, we could pin it through right click and choose "pin to Quick access"

If you click in the Explorer Address bar & type shell:OneDrive, what folder opens?

Does OneDrive appear in the DropList from the Address Bar?

Opening the app from search and logging on brought it to File Explorer.

Thx
