Final Update on transferring from-to old new machines. Forecast of coming dilemma: Ridding of OneDrive.

[UTUSN]

11. *****UPDATE*** - possibly declaring victory prematurely & certainly small

So the general problem is having documents and pictures in OneDrive. Previously, OneDrive helped by having a few files important to me available in its cloud for accessing on the new machine, fine. Now knowing of that access on the new machine, the complaint is submitting to whatever OneDrive does and therefore wanting them in my own PC files (I'm faking knowing what I'm talking about).

I tried SaveAs to change the location, tried Copying the files to move to my PC location, nothing.

*** So small eureka, emailed myself with the OneDrive file attached, and when it arrived and downloaded, it opened up outside the OneDrive address. It was dicey, gmail saying the attachment exceeded 25 MB and would be sent as Google Drive - huh, is GDrive same or something like OneDrive? Well, it took a fairly long time to upload to GDrive and boom the email was gone and arrived in my Inbox almost immediately. AND it downloaded to my machine with a couple of dicey tries, but worked, and the address of the file was no longer OneDrive.

My immediate future will be doing this to the files important to me from OneDrive this way, and when I'm sure they are viable then Deleting the OneDrive ones. I'm sure there are sophisticated methods out there, but until they are within my low tech methods, my homemade thing seems to meet my needs.
