If you're having trouble with save files not popping up in your OneDrive folder, don't worry, you're not alone. Many users have encountered this issue, and it's often caused by a simple misconfiguration.
The first thing to check is that you have the "Save to Cloud" feature enabled in your OneDrive settings. This feature allows you to automatically save files to your OneDrive folder. If it's not enabled, your files won't be saved there.
Try checking your OneDrive settings to see if the "Save to Cloud" feature is turned on. If it's not, toggle the switch to enable it. This should resolve the issue.
Troubleshooting File Explorer Issues
If OneDrive isn't showing up in File Explorer, it's likely due to a setup issue. One common cause is that OneDrive hasn't been set up properly.

Checking File Availability
OneDrive files not showing up in File Explorer can be frustrating, but there are a few things you can check to see if they're available.
First, make sure OneDrive is set up. If it's not, you won't be able to access your files. You can check if OneDrive is set up by looking for the OneDrive personal folder in File Explorer. If it's not there, you'll need to set it up.
Another thing to check is if OneDrive is synced. If it's not, your files might not be showing up. You can check if OneDrive is synced by looking for the OneDrive cloud folder in File Explorer.

Files Not Showing on Another Computer
Files Not Showing on Another Computer can be a real hassle. OneDrive files not showing up on another computer is generally caused by hidden OneDrive files.
If you're experiencing this issue, check if you have sufficient local storage space on the other computer. OneDrive requires enough space to sync your files.
Hidden OneDrive files can also cause this problem. These files are usually hidden by default, so you'll need to unhide them to access your files.
Outdated Windows versions can also lead to OneDrive files not showing up on another computer. Make sure your Windows version is up to date to avoid this issue.
Sync delays can also cause OneDrive files to not show up on another computer. If you notice that your files are not syncing properly, try restarting the OneDrive sync process.
Check Files
Sometimes, you might find that your files are nowhere to be found. If your OneDrive files are hidden, they won’t show up.
Pressing the Windows + E key combination will open File Explorer. From there, go to the View tab and check the option of Show hidden items.
This simple step can make all the difference in getting your files back on display. After checking the option, see if all your OneDrive files are now visible.
Fixing File Issues
