Hi Doug,

 

Thank you for posting in Microsoft community, I totally get how important that is especially when you're juggling work and personal stuff. Here's a simple way to make sure your Android and PC stay connected through OneDrive:

 

How to Sync OneDrive on Android with Your PC

 

On Your Android Phone:

Download the OneDrive App

Grab it from the Google Play Store.

Sign In

Use the same Microsoft account that you use on your PC.

Turn On Camera Upload (Optional)

Tap your profile icon → Settings → Camera Upload → Switch it on to auto-sync your photos.

Upload Files Manually

Tap the "+" icon → Choose files → Pick a folder in OneDrive to store them.

 

On Your Windows PC:

Open OneDrive

Click the OneDrive icon in the taskbar or search for it in the Start menu.

Sign In

Make sure you're using the same Microsoft account as on your phone.

Choose What to Sync

Right-click the OneDrive icon → Settings → Account → Choose folders to sync.

Find Your Files

Anything you upload from your phone will show up in your OneDrive folder on your PC:

C:\Users[YourName]\OneDrive

 

Sync Tips:

As long as both devices are online and signed in to the same account, your files will sync automatically.

You can also download files from your PC to your phone using the OneDrive app.

 

Let me know if you want help setting up automatic sync for specific folders or photos. I’ve got your back! 😊

 

Answer 2

I have been using OneDrive on my laptop and Android phone for years. Today I decided to activate the "Personal Vault" for the first time. I went fine, and I moved FOUR (4) folders with their contents from my laptop's local drive to the OneDrive "Personal Vault" folder.

Then I went to my Android Samsung S24 Ultra, opened the existing OneDrive app and clicked on the "Vault" icon in the top banner. It then required that I "Create a Personal Vault PIN" (6 digits) which I did, but it does not show the existing FOUR (4) folders that exist in the OneDrive "Personal Vault" folder on my laptop.

FWIW, I do receive a warning: "This item can't be displayed. Check your network connections and then pull down to refresh." My WiFI (7) is connected and is operating at 500 Mbps download speeds.

Why doesn't the OneDrive "Personal Vault" on my Android display the FOUR (4) folders in the OneDrive "Personal Vault" on my laptop?
