So, is there a work around for not being able to sync two personal one drives even though you can have two personal accounts on the same computer?

Hello @Ronda Landis

Thanks for posting in Q & A forum.

You can only be signed in with one Microsoft account at a time, but you can have multiple accounts (such as other family members or your work account) on your computer.

Having different accounts on a shared PC lets multiple people use the same device, all while giving everyone their own sign-in info, plus access to their own files, browser favorites, and desktop settings.

But, it seems, despite having a famly plan with MS, we cant each have our own One Drives on the same computer.

Ok let me rephrase the question. My dad and I use the same laptop but of course have different Microsoft accounts. So when I go to sign in it asks me for my pin. Now the hello pin is what is being used and his pin. I want to know if I can have my own pin so even though someone might know my email they won't know my pinz?

Look I know you can only sign in with one microsoft account at a time, the issue is that I want my own Pin number when I sign in after signing him out. I'm pretty tech savvy so no need for the slow pitch answers
