    How do I prevent Onedrive from uploading certain files?


    I recently ported my entire photo library onto my laptop from my phone. There are several thousand pictures that now download automatically from iCloud periodically. The problem is that OneDrive is trying to automatically upload these photos to my OneDrive Account, and there's quite simply too many for the 5g of free storage space to handle. I already told OneDrive to not upload from the Pictures file, but it's still doing it, and I've had to manually go in and delete the files off of OneDrive twice. How do I fix this issue?

    :)
