Windows 10: Copy only local files, don't copy from OneDrive

I have a folder ~1 gb that I want to move to another drive.If I try to copy this folder, it wants to download ~23 gb from OneDrive first.How do I only copy the files that are only available locally?

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

Issue was the above, so thanks temp02.

 

Keep local copy of files, but stop syncing folder with OneDrive

When I try to unlink a particular folder from OneDrive, it warns me that it will delete all local copies. This is the opposite behavior that I want. I actually want the local copy and do not want that folder stored on OneDrive.

Use Case: The 244 GB .tar file that I am temporarily downloading to my PC so I can process it before being uploaded to my webserver (and all the temporary files I create while processing it) do not need to be on OneDrive. You realize after
saving it to your Documents folder that It is taking too much space in OneDrive so you want to keep the file locally and not in OneDrive.

Expected behavior: Telling OneDrive not to sync a folder would result in the local copy staying and the OneDrive copy being deleted. If this is not automatic, there should be a prompt on which copy to keep, the local copy or the OneDrive
copy.

Actual behavior: OneDrive deletes the local copy, the copy you actually need to be able to use. You would have to re-download the 244 GB file again from OneDrive or the source if you want to use it locally.

Requested behavior: There needs to be an option where you can keep the local copy and delete the OneDrive copy.

P.S. Yes, I mean a 244 GB compressed file, not 244 MB. I'm dealing with big data here.
