I stumbled across something today and don't understand what's going on. Quick skip to the end, C:\Users\dads\Documents is empty, yet I can see all my documents fine from OneDrive and also fine locally.
The slightly longer version: I routinely save all my documents to OneDrive, knowing that OneDrive will sync them back to my local machine. And all my documents are present and accounted for on OneDrive. Seemingly not so on the PC. Here's a workflow example with made up file names and folders:
First, I save document xyz.docx to [OneDrive>> Documents>>ChildFolder1]
Second, I browse This [PC>> Documents], and the new xyz.docx is in ChildFolder1. As expected
Third, I happen to have a documents folder within my libraries folder. So of course that's going to look the same there too. I understand that libraries are just "views" to other physical locations, so that's fine.
Fourth, I happen to be poking around after having done one, two and three, and come across C:\Users\dads\Documents, which has zero content.
What's going on? Should it be empty? Or should I now now be copying all my folders from [PC>> Documents] to [C:\Users\dads\Documents] ??
