is it possible to return onedrive files back to original folders on the pc? Thank you.

Guten Tag,
<br />willkommen beim Microsoft Community Forum. Ihrer Beschreibung zufolge würden Sie gerne die Daten in OneDrive herunterladen.
<br />Dies sind unsere Lösungsvorschläge:
<br />

• Melden Sie sich bei OneDrive.com an und laden Sie dann die Daten herunter.
  <br />
  
  
  <br />
• Um zu verhindern, dass der Download durch Netzwerkprobleme unterbrochen wird und ein erneuter Download erforderlich ist, können Sie den Download teilweise durchführen.
  <br />
• Wenn der lokale Speicherplatz nicht ausreicht, können Sie eventuell eine externe Festplatte vorbereiten und diese Daten auf Ihre externe Festplatte herunterladen.
  <br />

Bitte weisen Sie darauf hin, wenn ich es falsch verstanden habe. Wenn Sie weitere Fragen haben, antworten Sie gerne nochmals auf den Thread.
<br />Ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Tag.
<br />Mit freundlichen Grüßen
<br />Olivia | Microsoft Community Support Spezialist

Hello JJTT_885,

Thank you for coming to the forum.

I am sorry to inform you that OneDrive does not have such features. The way OneDrive works is this:

There are some selected folders that OneDrive can sync, those folders are your complete Desktop, Documents, and Pictures. It will sync all the contents, you cannot select what to sync and what not to sync. It will sync the whole documents in those folders

In this link below you will see all the folders that OneDrive can sync.

Another thing, you can do is to move the folder directory you want to the OneDrive Folder created for you when you install OneDrive and sign in, you will see it in the left pane of your File explorer.

Give a reply if you need more information

Best Regards

Thanks, Berns! I tried that before but the problem is that the file in question is saved on a server. Is it possible to move such a file to a HTTP or HTTPS location and apply the procedure from there?

Hello Heinz,

What is the error you are getting when you try to upload the video into Sway? It's possible that you are running into a network timeout - if the size of the video plus your current network speed causes it to take to long, it will fail. If you are on a
wireless network, you could try using a wired one. Some people have also had better luck uploading the video to OneDrive first and then inserting it from OneDrive from within Sway.

Hope this helps!

Jason

Thank you for your answer. The problem is not the timout. Becouse in earlier session it worked well. But with OneDrive it
works well. So it seems that OneDrive as source for SWAY is best solution. Thank you!

I am sorry if it is not what you wanted to hear, but I do hope the link above will guide you on how to sync your files with OneDrive.
