documents being saved to onedrive

[MorganO]

right so ive just realised that ALL my DOCUMENTS even game save and MODS also how can i stop this and use my SSD/HDD to save or migrate these without it breaking

You can stop this by selecting another folder when you save your files, obviously. You can download all your Onedrive files and store them in your documents. However, I'd recommend having an online backup for important files in case your house burns down.

If you save any office file (word, excel, ppt) it saves automatically in 'my documents' within your OneDrive folders. Very annoying indeed. But you can log in to onedrive with your microsoft account and download everything as file or folder

In Euro truck simulator you can manually choose your save file. Just copy your file in your local documents and select the path in-game. In Steam/origin settings, you can choose where you want to install your games and save-files, so you should change that as well.

What will happen to the files in one drive?,  becuase if I can and to put mods in then I'll still have to put them in the one drive folder

*facepalms*  I'm being serious here you need to do some research on how onedrive works.  Get a basic understanding then come back.  Because if you don't know how folder sync works, then you don't have a basic understanding of storage.
