In continuation of my last post...

Today we will discuss about, How to access onedrive files from a different account on Windows 10. Yes, OneDrive allows you to access files from two or more accounts.

Suppose, you do not have an Office 360 subscription or you do not want to pay for more storage in OneDrive. You can easily create another microsoft account and sync it with your main account and you will be able to access another account storage while staying logged in with your main Microsoft Account in the operating system.

Process given below:


1- From the notification area right-click the OneDrive icon and click Settings.

2- On the Unlink OneDrive section, click the Unlink OneDrive button.



3- Then you'll be presented with OneDrive setup wizard, click Get started.

4- Sign-in with new Microsoft Account you want to access to OneDrive. Keep in mind that this process won't change your current profile settings, you'll be able to sign-in with your old credentials.



5- Next, change the location to store the new OneDrive files or keep the same path, and click Next. Make also sure you understand that if you don't change the folder location, and the folder already exists, files will merge with OneDrive.

6- Click Next, choose the folders you want to sync, and don't forget to enable the fetch feature if you want to access the files remotely.



7- Click Done to finish.
