    How can I backup different folders on my computer to two separate OneDrive accounts?


    My PC is set up with my personal email.I want to backup the Desktop folder to my university's OneDrive and the Documents and Pictures to my personal OneDrive. However, I don't want to change the account email to my uni's email; I want it to stay as my personal email. How can I do that?Much thanks! If you need more details ask and I'll provide.

    :)

    MS OneDrive accounts on two computers?

    I want to backup my desktops and my documents folders on two computers. Do I need separate OneDrive accounts to do this?

    My computers are Win 7 ultimate and Win 10. Office 365 runs on both.

    Can OneDrive be used for automatic backups for desktop and documents?

    Can OneDrive be used to store and restore a system image?

    Thank you for your help. Fred

    OneDrive - backup *separate* desktops?

    OneDrive has added a great feature - backing up my desktop items to the cloud.

    Only problem - I use two different copies of Windows - one at work and one at home. I *want* to keep separate copies of each desktop, but OD wants to mash 'em together in the cloud!

    Any solution available for this?

    I don't mind having my Pictures and Documents folders combined - that's actually nice - but that also prevents me from setting up a different OD account for my desktops!

    Thanks,

    - Chip

    How can I backup different folders on my computer to two separate OneDrive accounts?

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.
