OneDrive on MacBook Pro

I can't figure out to which account the OneDrive in Finder applies. I've logged into all of my OneDrive accounts via my browser to see if the files I moved to OneDrive from my Mac are there, and they are not. I don't even have the OneDrive app installed. As a Location, it was already in Finder.

OneDrive on MacOS Hi, I recently bought my first macbook (air m2) and downloaded the microsoft office suite - including the onedrive app. I logged into my account on word, excel, etc and that all worked. But the onedrive app only opens the folder in finder, and only includes files from my school account. I have a personal account paired with it, and none of those files are accessible. When I save/autosave a file to my personal onedrive account, I can't find it outside of the word/excel app. And the onedrive app, once again, only opens its folder in finder, so I don't know how to add or chance accounts on that. I have already deleted and redownloaded the onedrive app and restarted my computer. Any help would be welcome.

Where are locally stored iCloud Drive files kept? In the Finder, with the View option set to show the file path, all the files 'held' in the iCloud Drive are shown with their file paths emanating/rooted from the 'iCloud Drive' (ie they do not emanate/root from 'Macintosh HD') But, sometimes, some of those iCloud Drive files are also/still held locally somewhere on Macintosh HD. But there appears to be no way to get the Finder to display the 'Macintosh HD' file path for those files held on the iCloud Drive which are also held locally. One can disconnect from the internet and see if an iCloud Drive file is still available locally. But, if it is, how can the user show/discover where it is stored? Or, does MacOS Catalina onwards not have the ability to reveal where the local storage is for files held in the iCloud Drive?

You'll also find Drop Box folder but it's useless unless you install the app.

As oneDrive is Microsoft and not a default app, removing the folder is relatively risk free as long as the app itself is gone. But if you have a OneDrive account and have visited it on the web and signed in, the folder may be a result of you logging into your account.

If you had OneDrive installed and deleted it, the folder may just be a "leftover" from an incomplete uninstall.

Things like this is just one of the reason I abandoned OD in favor of iCloud Drive ... even on our old Windows box.
