^ Work documents, tax, contracts, etc, stuff like that. Anything financial stays with me.
Yes, ideally I'd like to set this One Drive up but seem to remember that with one subscription to 365 it was impossible to limit access. Now I have One Drive but not the daughter or wife. No big deal atm to be honest but at some point the daughter could do with it as so much school work is done online and she accesses stuff from diffetent locations and different devices.

i couldn't give a flying fuk if you sell your arse during the week and blow it all in the pub on the weekend.
you asked a question on resolving your file storage issues and ability to access said files from different computers. For some time now companies large, medium and small have used hosting services rather than rely on fragile in house data storage or god forbid archaic external drives.
the cost of cloud service isn't huge and a piffling 300 gig is nothing. Your solution is one drive but as you've decided to spunk cash on a portable drive you'd better keep on asking strangers on here how to fix your problem and keep carrying that device back and forth
bingo
^ I use both google drive and one drive, they're designed for exactly what you need.
One drive did strike me as exactly what was needed.

Thailand cracks down on knock-off ‘elephant trousers’ flooding in from China
Deputy prime minister fears local manufacturers will be cut out of market by foreign producers
Thailand has ordered ports to crack down on imports of knock-off “elephant pant” trousers from China, touting its copyright claim over the gap-year souvenir favourite.
Across Southeast Asia, Western tourists have long been associated with the brightly coloured trousers adorned with elephant prints. Markets across the region are crammed with the lightweight cotton garments, which are sold for as little as £3.50.
But vendors have raised the alarm about an influx of cheaper Chinese-made products, sparking concerns that local manufacturers will be cut out of the market. The clamour has been intense enough to catch the government’s attention.
“We have ordered the surveillance of elephant pants in all ports,” Phumtham Wechayachai, the deputy prime minister, told reporters on Tuesday, adding that the iconic designs are already copyrighted.
“If we allow foreign producers to produce it, it might impact the local Thai products,” he said, warning of the inferior quality of some imports. “Thai products are standardised. Some [imported] products are easily torn after using them a couple of times.”
Earlier this week, Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, also added that Thailand has to act fast or “lose the opportunity” to maintain its domestic market.
The concerns come as the pachyderm print gains a new lease of life within the country, with stylish young Thais increasingly adopting the designs as their own.
“The pants are dope,” the 19-year-old influencer Dalintan “MoRich” Promphinit told AFP, having donned a bright yellow set on TikTok last year to the delight of his followers. “They’re not just souvenirs foreign tourists buy… Thais are rocking them too.”
Across Bangkok, it is no longer unusual to see locals wearing the garments, sometimes paired with designer bags and jewellery. The trend is such that several higher-end retailers have picked up on it, selling various trousers, shirts and shorts for upwards of £25.
Ivy, a 30-year-old marketing professional, told The Telegraph that she’s fallen for elephant pants because the light, soft cotton is perfect for the humid weather in Bangkok’s summer months. She now has four pairs of trousers, plus a pair of shorts and a beach mat.
“Elephant pants have become cooler and trendier because the pattern itself and the colour is a symbol of Thai traditions,” she said. “But they’re also a perfect fit with Thailand’s weather.”

None of this talk about storage on the cloud will help nidhogg with his current problem.
Did you try Harry's suggestion? Check the file type on the HDD and did you format it first?
I know they come ready formatted these days but not always the preferred file system. I recall a problem with an SD card I had with my camera. I forgot to format the card but they were still saved to the camera and i could see them but when I put the card in the laptop they were not shown. I had to connect the camera to download and then format the disk so I could transfer via the card.
BTW, call me old-fashioned, but I don't store anything on the cloud either. I use HDD for storage and transfer between computers. I still put important back-ups in a fireproof safe.
