One Drive Permissions/Browsers CONFUSION! I want my Name, NOT "Guest Contributor" shown next to my files

I have two browsers loaded on my PC. And I use several office 365 and hotmail accounts. How to best harmonize my one drive identities so that no matter which browser I use, I'll be able to upload my content and have my name attached to those files and folders.

David's method probably is a good standard.
But if you really want to show up as another user, then you should share it with specific guest user, so that others office 365 tenant user (your own account)
by default, it is shared as "anonymous" and anyone has the link can modify it.
If you change it to specific users, then you can share it with others and only that user can access it.
Then it will show up as that user's email address instead of a guest contributor.

Obviously, the tenant needs to allow guest users.
