Why can't I pin the Documents folder to Quick Access?

My Quick Access shows Documents, but it's OneDrive. I want to pin the Hard Drive Documents, not OneDrive.

Hello

Do you have OneDrive running?

Look at the bottom right on taskbar, do you have the cloud icon?

If so, go there, right click on it and go to Settings > Sync and Bakcup tab > Manage backup.

If the folders here are turned on, your Documents folder is no longer local, but it is synced via OneDrive, hence it is now nested under OneDrive.

If you don't want your Documents folder synced via OneDrive, you would want to turn it off here, including the other folders, if you don't want them in OneDrive, turn them all.

Then restart the computer. These folders will now be back to local paths.
