Part 2: Sync Multiple OneDrive Accounts by Share

We have described one method above& which& for most people& is the easiest method available. However& if this method is not available& there are other methods that you can use. One such method is syncing multiple OneDrive accounts using the “Share” function.

This process is also straightforward& even though it requires some form of expertise. Once you get it right& you can have the content of different OneDrive accounts in a single location. Here’s how to do this in steps:

Step 1 – Open OneDrive and sign in to your second OneDrive account.

Step 2 – Create a new folder on your dashboard. You can do this in two ways. The first is to click on “New” at the top-left edge of the page. When you do this& click on “Folder” from the drop-down menu. A second method is to right-click anywhere on your dashboard& and you will see a list of options& click on the folder& and create a new folder immediately. When the folder is created& rename it.

Step 3 – Move all the files and folders in your OneDrive account into this folder. Ensure that you double-check to see that the new folder contains the files and folders you moved.

Step 4 – Click on the new folder to select it to see several options. Select the “Share” option.

Step 5 – Provide the email of your primary or original Onedrive account.

Step 6 – Since you shared the folder with yourself& you will need to open the primary Microsoft account to accept the invitation. To do this& log into your primary OneDrive account.

Step 7 – After accepting the shared folder& you will view it from your primary OneDrive account. This means that you can view it in the OnrDrive folder in the file browser on your computer. You can also see it when you go through your web browser. As such& you can view and manage files in your secondary account.

Great job! Now you can sync 2 OneDrive accounts easily on your computer. Let’s see the final method in the next section.

Part 3: Sync Multiple OneDrive Accounts by Download and Upload

This is the final method that we will be discussing in this post. Just like the previously discussed methods& it is also simple. The only challenge here is that it is time-consuming and requires some up and down movements.

All you need to do here is first to download the files from one account. After doing this& you can upload them to the next folder. This is also known as the traditional method of syncing files across two OneDrive accounts. There is an advantage of this method& which is that you can selectively sync files.

To make it easy to understand& we will split the process into two. Here’s how to download files from OneDrive:

Step 1 – Open OneDrive in your web browser and login using the appropriate details.

Step 2 – Go to your dashboard to select the files that you want to download. You can either download a single file& multiple files& or a whole folder. If you want to download a single file& hover the mouse cursor over the folder and click on the checkbox. After this& click on Download at the top of the window. Another method is to right-click on the file and click on download.

Step 3 – Since you want to sync the whole account& we suggest selecting all the files and folders. To do this& press CTRL + A or CMD + A& depending on whether you are using Windows or Mac.

Step 4 – Now go to the toolbar at the top of the screen and click on Download. You can also right-click anywhere on the selection to see a list of options. Click on “Download” to begin downloading the selected files and folders.

Now& let’s show you how to upload to OneDrive. Note that there are two ways to do this. We will explain each of these methods below.

Using the File Explorer method

Remember that your primary OneDrive account is already synced to your Windows 10 computer. This means that you will see it in the file explorer on your PC. Because of this& you can upload files to this account very easily.

You can drag the files from their current location and drop them here. Once you do& they will show in every location where you have synced this account. Another way of doing this is by copying the files from their current location and pasting them here. You get the same result either way.

Uploading via the web

In this case& you have to log in to your primary OneDrive account via a web browser. After this& you will take the following steps.

Step 1 – Go to the toolbar at the top of the screen and click on “Upload.” This will give you a list of options& “File” or “Folder.” We advise that you choose the latter since the files that you downloaded are in the same folder.

Step 2 – When you click on this& a “file explorer” window opens. From here& you should navigate to the location of the folder and select it.

Step 3 – Click on “Upload.” The process will begin automatically& and you will have the folder in your primary OneDrive account.

That’s great. Now you know how to sync multiple OneDrive accounts.
