    Not Syncing Folders with OneDrive


    How do I add a folder to my desktop without having OneDrive attempt to sync it?


    I wanted to move a large file and for ease of access wanted to place it on the desktop. I don't want OneDrive to upload all 6GB of it.


    What I tried:

    I created a "Local" folder on Desktop. I opened OneDrive, went into Settings > Choose Folders and unticked "Local" so that OneDrive does not sync it.

    This simply made the folder inaccessible.


    So I stopped Backup for Desktop. This in turn made all other files on the Desktop disappear... at this point I came here and decided to simply ask.

    :)

    Music Folder Behaving Badly in OneDrive

    Hi Robert,

    There is a possibility that the Music folder is synced to your OneDrive that is why any files deleted from either of the folders is synced to the other. For us to better assist you with the said folder, we'd like to ask for additional information:

    • Can you please provide a screenshot of the Music folder from the OneDrive folder and home folder?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps that you were advised to do?
    We will wait for your quick response.
