I have microsoft 365. I use it for my personal computers at home, and also on the computers at the office. I want to keep the data separate. I don't want employees seeing my personal files. Onedrive keeps all the data synced. I want my computers at home synced. And I want the computers at the office synced to those computers only. How do I manage this?

    Yes, you just need to make this change on the work computers that you don't want to show your personal files.

    Hi, Thomas. I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

    You can select which folders will be available on the computer in the OneDrive settings.

    1-Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the taskbar and click on Settings

    2-Click on "Account" in the left panel

    3-Then click on "Choose folders"

    4-Uncheck the option "Make all files available", select only your work files and click on OK

    After this, only the files/folders selected will be available on the computer but will keep synced on the OneDrive.

    I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.

    Robinson, thank you for your response. So, what I'm gathering is that each computer that is work based, I click on each to only allow it to see work files. Any computer at home, I can leave alone as I want those computers to be able to see office files. Correct?

    Dr. Tom
