#How to make amazon drive desktop h sync Pc#
For example, trying to open a desktop-based shortcut to a specific file that’s actually located in your Documents folder wouldn’t work on a PC other than the computer that particular file is actually stored on. Windows will get confused if you try to launch a shortcut to a specific file or folder that isn’t saved directly on the desktop and isn’t available in the same location on both PCs, however. (You may find that some icons for programs won’t transfer, but the shortcuts will still work.)Īny files and folders saved directly to the desktop will also sync across PCs without issue. For example, I had no problem launching Skype, Chrome, or the local C: folder on multiple PCs synced this way, as they were all located at the same file location on the respective local hard drives. Once you do this, most of your program shortcuts and web shortcuts should work just as well on different PCs, assuming you have the target programs and folders installed on both PCs in the same location. Moving your Desktop to SkyDrive takes just a few clicks and when you’re done, the file path in its Properties menu should point to a location in your SkyDrive folder. Next, right click the removable drive (Drive H in the screen shot below.
Second, I pressed Winkey + x to open the menu that allows me to access Disk Management and selected it. On my Desktop, I created a folder named C:USBflashdrive (and on my Surface with its MicroSD card, a folder named C:SD). Make sure to point to the same desktop folder in SkyDrive each time. First, create a new folder on your C: Drive. If you’d like to sync desktops across PCs, just repeat this same process on each PC, as Microsoft hasn’t built desktop syncing into Windows as a default feature (as it has with the Modern UI Start screen in Windows 8.1).
