[QUOTE="maclover9771, post: 1945017, member: 410808"] We'll see, but I have other issues as well (See other post "iCloud email mistakenly connected to my gmail account" as another example). If I get OneDrive to work I may be able to postpone a new profile (I've curated mine over several years; the thought of starting over is daunting), but I suspect it will be required eventually. I'm confused though by your statement "[I]if you now decide to change the 'Alice' account to be 'Bob'[/I]"...I haven't found a way to change one (that was kinda implied in my original question). If/when I create a new profile, I'd like it to have the same name as the old one (paranoia...I have so many things tied to that username). I guess I could create a new one, copy over any files from the old one to the new one, then delete the old. The recreate yet another new one using the original name, copy everything back over to THAT profile, then delete the interim profile (or keep it as a backup admin profile just in case). A lot of work and I'm concerned about file permissions being carried over... [/QUOTE]
