You could map both your OneDrive Files folders to network shares on your computer, so you could directly access both.I admit that I don't know how well this will work with two OneDrive logins(see remarks below).
The following is adapted from the articleHow to Map OneDrive as a Network Drive to See All Your Files.
- Use your browser to log into
onedrive.live.com
. - Right-click on
Files
in the left-pane, and then click Copy link location (Firefox), Copy link address (Chrome) or Copy shortcut (Internet Explorer). This will copy to the clipboard the URL toFiles
. - Open Notepad and paste the URL that you have copied in the above step. Select and copy the digits and letters following the
cid=
parameter (stop selecting before hitting a#
or&
character). - In Windows Explorer, go to This PC.
- Click on the
Computer
tab thenMap network drive
. - In the
Folder
field, enterhttps://d.docs.live.net/
followed by the CID you copied above. - Check the
Connect using different credentials
box.
- Click
Finish
and enter your OneDrive login.
Remark: Here is the part I don't know when mapping from two OneDrive accounts,whether it is a good idea to check the
harrymcharrymcRemember my credentials
box whenconnecting. You will have to try and see, and in case of a problemdisconnect the mapped drive and try again.274k1414 gold badges285285 silver badges602602 bronze badges

After I performed some additional researched. It does appear that it is no longer a requirement, to link your Microsoft Account, to your local account in order to use OneDrive on Windows 10. You can simply link your accounts here:

Working on multiple Google Drive accounts on the browser is very simple. Once can simply use the Google account switcher and work on multiple accounts in parallel. Unfortunately, when using the Windows application for the same, there is no such feature.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: This is an old post and many people recently started reporting in the comments that this method no longer works because the Google Drive app was updated to exclude this feature. Hence we’ve written another post that uses a different method. Here it is ->How to Use and Sync More Than One Google Drive Account on Windows.According to Google Support, once must use application preferences and sign out from the first Google account before using another. But that’s not a solution if you want to sync more than one account and use them in parallel.
Fret not, like always, we’ve got your back. Here’s a method to get it done and run multiple Google Drive instances on the same machine.
Multiple Google Drive Instances
Step 1: Close all instances of Google Drive running on your computer and then download and install this application. After the application is installed, add C:Program Files (x86)GoogleDrive to your Windows Environment Variable. You can refer to this article to see how it’s done.
Yugioh castle of dragon souls. This product has no pricing options based on the filters you selected. Please adjust your filters to see more options.Number: SDBE-EN033 Rarity: Common Attribute Monster Type/Card Type: TRAP Trap/Trap Card Description: Once per turn: You can banish 1 Dragon-Type monster from your Graveyard, then target 1 face-up monster you control, it gains 700 ATK, until the End Phase. (This ATK gain remains even if this card leaves the field or the monster becomes unaffected by card effects.) When this face-up card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 of your banished Dragon-Type monsters, Special Summon that target.
Step 2: Having done that, open Notepad and copy paste the following line. Don’t forget to replace username@ domain.com with your Google username.
Rico can carry 4 different weapons instead of 3 now + explosives. Codex just cause 3.

MD “%USERPROFILE%Application Data”>nul
MD “%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsApplication Data”>nul
MD “%USERPROFILE%My Documents”>nul
MD “%USERPROFILE%Documents”>nul
START googledrivesync
SET USERNAME=username@ domain.com
SET USERPROFILE=%~dp0%USERNAME%
SET USERPROFILE=%~dp0%USERNAME%
MD “%USERPROFILE%AppDataRoaming”>nul
MD “%USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalApplication Data”>nul
MD “%USERPROFILE%Application Data”>nul
MD “%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsApplication Data”>nul
MD “%USERPROFILE%My Documents”>nul
MD “%USERPROFILE%Documents”>nul
START googledrivesync
Save the file as Account 1.bat to your desktop or another folder where you would like to sync the files. Don’t forget to select All Files as type in Notepad while saving the batch file.
Step 3: Now run the batch file and wait for another instance of Google Drive to Start. The second instance of the application will ask you to sign in to a new account. Proceed normally, just remember to change the sync folder to the new folder that’s created using the batch files in the advanced option.
Note: Sometimes you might encounter some difficulty while changing the folder. In such a case, copy the exact path of the folder to select the directory.That’s all, you will now see two instances of Google Drive syncing side by side. Amazing, right? The next time you want to sync files on the secondary account, run the batch file of that particular account. To add every subsequent account, just make a new batch file, run it and configure the application.
Conclusion
As we are not using any third-party application for the trick, this is the best method to sync multiple Google Drive accounts in Windows according to me. However, I think this is one of the very basic feature that should be provided as a built-in feature by Google. What do you think?
Thanks TumaGonx Zakkum for the heads up!
