OneDrive offers an excellent cloud storage solution that enables file access from any location, yet there may be instances when you prefer to directly download your files to your computer. This guide will demonstrate precisely how to accomplish that.
Step 1: Open the File Explorer
To start saving files to your computer, open the File Explorer by clicking on the folder icon in the taskbar or pressing Windows Key + E.
Step 2: Create a New Folder
Once you have opened the File Explorer, create a new folder to store your files. Right-click on an empty space in the File Explorer and select New > Folder. Give the folder a name that is easy to remember.
Step 3: Move Files from OneDrive to Your Computer
Now that you have created a new folder, it’s time to move your files from OneDrive to your computer. Open OneDrive and select the file or folder you want to move. Right-click on the file or folder and select Move to. In the dialog box that appears, navigate to the folder you created in step 2 and click Move.
Step 4: Save Files Directly to Your Computer
To save files directly to your computer instead of OneDrive, simply open the file or folder you want to save and select Save As. In the dialog box that appears, navigate to the folder you created in step 2 and click Save.
Conclusion
By following these simple steps, you can easily save files directly to your computer instead of OneDrive. This will allow you to access your files even when you are offline or if you have limited internet connectivity.
