    Choose Folders to Sync Before OneDrive Starts


    Hi,

    OneDrive is driving me crazy!

    It starts syncing all folders when I open it! Is there any way to select the folders before the first use?

    The issue is that when I go to settings to unselect some folders, at least one of these issues occurs:

    1. It show's this error "Sorry, we cannot save the list of folders" or something like this!

    2. It shows a syncing error that these folders already exist and should be renamed (although I have unselected them)!


    I uninstalled OneDrive and installed again, unlinked and linked multiple times, ... but no luck!

    :)
