    Hi! If you have your OneDrive and or SharePoint folders synced to your computer you can open them on your desktop just like other files, but they will have the OneDrive/SharePoint path. If you do not have them synced, open the file in OneDrive/SharePoint, then click view in Desktop or edit in Desktop and when it opens in desktop you can grab the path 🙂
