    Here are a few things to check for:

    1. Check if OneDrive is running - look for the OneDrive cloud icon in the taskbar. If it's missing, launch it from the Start menu by searching OneDrive.
    2. Sign In and Sync
      • Right-click the OneDrive icon → Settings → Account → Add an account to sign in.
      • Choose folders to sync and ensure “Show OneDrive in File Explorer” is enabled under Settings.
    3. Reset or Repair OneDrive
      • Press Win + R → enter:CopyWindows Command PromptCopy
                       %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset
        
      • Or go to Settings → Apps → OneDrive → Advanced options → Repair.
      • Restart OneDrive and File Explorer.
