Hello! 

I am not an IT expert so I am seeking help on how to find out when OneDrive was installed in a company-owned laptop. Is there a sort of logs where I can see all activities related to OneDrive, i.e. when it was installed, when the desktop was linked to OneDrive for file backup, and the like.

Thank you.

    Hi Jay,

    Onedrive comes default with Windows unless you used an ISO to install that had it removed.

    Some of the logs are here:

    C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\logs

    Yes, Jay. You need to manually sign into Onedrive once to sync stuff over.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you for your prompt response. Here's an additional question: Given that OneDrive comes default with Windows, does it need manual configuration to set up desktop sync (user is a local account, not associated with a Microsoft account)?
