I logged into OneDrive just to see how it works, but I think that was a mistake. It instantly uploaded all my important files and made them accessible online only. Now, when I log out, I can't get to them. I can log back in and see the files, but they're only on OneDrive, and I can't find any option to keep them on my device. It feels like it's taken my files, and I'm really stressed out about it. Can someone help me recover my files or figure out how to keep them on my device?

To keep your OneDrive files on your device, right-click the OneDrive icon in your taskbar (it looks like a cloud), go to Settings, then Sync and Backup, and finally Manage Backup. You should find an option for Advanced settings that lets you download all your files. This will store everything locally on your computer!
Thanks! I did that and now I can move stuff out of the OneDrive folder on my desktop. I have a lot of work ahead to get everything back, but this helped a ton!
