    Hi. I'm trying to use a single OneDrive account to sync to a number of PC's and a NAS but only specific files/folders.

The scenario is as follows:-4 x PC's in an office all logged into the same Onedrive account to enable sharing specific working files and an archive.2 x NAS syncing to the Onedrive account to provide a backup one local, one remoteI ha

    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.
