how do I get my one drive folder tree to appear at the top of the list in file explorer?

Hello Nate

What you're seeing is expected behavior in recent versions of Windows 11—Quick Access is now pinned above other folders like OneDrive in the navigation pane. While there's no built-in way to move OneDrive above Quick Access, a helpful workaround is to pin your OneDrive folder (or specific subfolders) directly to Quick Access. Just right-click the OneDrive folder and select “Pin to Quick Access”—this will place it at the top of the Quick Access list for faster access.

Alternatively, you can collapse the Quick Access section by clicking the small arrow next to it, which helps reduce scrolling. Some users also find it helpful to adjust their default save locations in apps to point directly to OneDrive.

Let me know if you'd like help setting that up. And if this answer helped, feel free to hit “Accept answer” so others can benefit too 😊
