One- drive
I have two laptops both with one-drive (both with the same email and the same password).
It seems, there are two one-drives (one per laptop). When I add a file to my one-drive via laptop-1, it doesn't show up when logged to one-drive from laptop 2.
Of course these are private documents and prefer not to use public folder.

Can you open One Drive from Word or other Office application and use the same Microsoft Live login user name?

I created a docx file in laptop2 and saved the same file in its one-drives:
Public
Shared
Documents
(3 places).
I am not able to see them from laptop1 (in file explorer or via Ms Word).
FYI, I have update laptop2 to windows 10 but I have not updated laptop1 to windows 10 (I will keep it in Windows 7).
I wonder if this is the reason why I am not able to see the files created in one from another?

I had save an small image in Laptop2 in shared drive. It seems I could see it from the other computer. I am testing the process again with more files.
Conclusion:
There are three location to save files in One_Drive:
1- Shared Favorite
2- Publc
3- Others like document etc.
In 1 and 2, user could see the files between the computers.
In option 3, the files stay in sink between a designated computer (this is sort of backup I guess).

Do you use your Microsoft a account to log on to Windows 10? You can't do that on Windows 7 - could this be the cause of your two-tone drives?

@Gerwin Jansen,
Sorry for closing the question too soon. Do you agree with my statements on my last post?

@Mike, no problem, I was about to test the situation myself but since you've solved it, it's fine with me ;)
Thanks Mike, I had never tried One Drive in Windows 7. Gerwin - Are you OK with the above?
I have been working with OneDrive on Windows7 and Windows10 and I don't sync all folders. Just a final check that you didn't accidentally uncheck any of the folders from option 3 in Settings under Choose Folders. That's where you can set folders you (don't) want to sync from your OneDrive.
