turbotax saving files to wrong location..lost 5 years of turbotax files...

Big problem for you guys to investigate.  turbotax saving files to wrong location..lost 5 years of turbotax files...OneDrive makes a copy of your files when you first setup OneDrive.  Then if you select to maintain a copy on your laptop, OneDrive creates a new set of folders in c:\users\login \name\onedrive.  It will keep OneDrive sync with the new set of folders.  BUT, most programs like tax software, will save into c:\users\login name\”folder name”.  This means anything saved by software may not be saving to the location that is being backed up.  The fix is to copy anything you have in c:\users\login name\”folder name” to the correct set of folders in c:\users\login name\onedrive\”folder names”.  Anything you leave out side of c:\users\login name\onedrive\”folder names” is not being backed up to OneDrive.  Phooey….i lost a ton of files .
