    Download Files from Onedrive to File on Desktop

    First create a desktop folder - right click any free space on your desktop>new>folder> give it a name e.g PHOTOS

    1. Click Onedrive icon on taskbar or click Start>scroll to Onedrive - click - Onedrive panel comes up with listed folders.

    2. Click the folder you want - list of files comes up - put cursor over the file you want to copy and it highlights in blue.

    3. Go to "Home" in menu then "Copy to" - popup panel shows - scroll down list to the new folder you created and click, then OK/Apply.
    A panel comes up copying the selected item to the new desktop folder. All done, the Onedrive folder/file is now in your new desktop folder.

    Note - 2. A folder can be copied or a file inside that folder, using the same procedure.

    Note - 3. If the new folder is not on the dropdown list shown, go to bottom of the list and click "choose location", another panel shows, go to bottom of the list and your new desktop folder should be shown - click it then "copy" and copying will start.

    The whole thing from creating a desktop folder to copying the selected file only takes a couple of minutes.
