In previous editions of Windows it was my experience that stores would be filed in \users\username\Documents (or another sub folder such as Music). I just installed Windows 11, electing to have files backed up in onedrive. I copied files into Documents, Music, Pictures, et. When I go to ThisPC\users\username I find no files. I can only find them by going to the icon for Documents. So, where are they?
📎 AI Summary:
The original poster, rcdawson, is uncertain where their files are stored after upgrading to Windows 11, as they can't see files in their user folder but can access them via the Documents icon. In response, ussnorway explains that files are defaultly saved to OneDrive in Windows 11, which syncs files online and stores them on Microsoft's servers, making them less visible directly in the C:\Users\username folder. Overall, the discussion highlights changes in file storage locations with Windows 11 and OneDrive integration.

By default it goes to C users OneDrive and is synced on line so it's stored at their servers
