1435603 2017-05-22 07:18:00 Perhaps I'm doing things the wrong way round.
When I create documents I save them to my documents folder.
Then I save them to onedrive.
Should I be doing it the other way round?

Don't use one drive but I do it the same way as you to Google Drive, save to documents first always have

1435605 2017-05-22 09:41:00 You can do it any way you want. Just understand that onedrive does use a local folder so if you create a file in your documents folder and then copy it to the onedrive documents folder you have 2 local copies on your hard drive plus a copy synched to the cloud by one drive. It seems like double handling to me but it really depends what your goal is and how you personally want to use one drive.

For me I just stopped using the windows documents folder completely and started using the one drive folder instead. You can also move your default documents folder to be located in the onedrive documents folder thereby combining them and making windows default save option point to onedrive www.howtogeek.com
