For Windows 7 users, adding OneDrive to File Explorer can make managing your files and documents much more convenient. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to add OneDrive to File Explorer on Windows 7.
Step 1: Open OneDrive
To begin, open OneDrive on your Windows 7 computer. You can do this by clicking on the OneDrive icon in the system tray, which is located at the bottom right corner of your screen. If you don’t see the icon, you can also search for “OneDrive” in the Start menu and open it from there.
Step 2: Log in to OneDrive
If you haven’t already logged in to OneDrive, you will be prompted to do so. Enter your Microsoft account credentials and click “Sign in.” This will allow OneDrive to sync your files across devices.
Step 3: Open File Explorer
Now, open File Explorer by clicking on the folder icon in the taskbar or pressing the Windows key + E.
Step 4: Access OneDrive
In the File Explorer window, you should see a section on the left-hand side called “Libraries.” Click on the “Libraries” section, and then right-click on “Documents.” Select “Properties” from the context menu.
Step 5: Add OneDrive
In the Properties window, click on the “Includes” tab. You will see a list of folders that are currently included in the “Documents” library. Click on “Add,” then navigate to the location of your OneDrive folder (usually C:\Users\YourUsername\OneDrive) and select it. Click “OK” to add OneDrive to the “Documents” library.
Step 6: Confirm Changes
You will now see OneDrive listed under the “Documents” library in File Explorer. Click “Apply” and then “OK” to confirm the changes.
Step 7: Verify OneDrive Integration
To ensure that OneDrive has been successfully added to File Explorer, navigate to the “Documents” library. You should now see your OneDrive folder alongside other folders, such as “Music,” “Pictures,” and “Videos.” This means that OneDrive is integrated into File Explorer, and you can manage your files from either location.
