    OneDrive - copying a folder without syncing it back

    Partly, because if I unchecked them, they disappear from C:\Users\myname\onedrive and I can't copy anything into them. I found a solution, I created a folder "upload" which is synced, then I copied the files into it. After they are synced with the app I moved the content of this folder to another one that is not synced, but I had to do it using web-gui at onedrive.live.com

    After moving the files I have to empty the recycle bin each time that I do the moving, because if not, the files are still taking space on my drive.

  3. Sync folder between Air and PC locally

    I'm looking for a software which will keep folders on my Mac Air and PC synced via the local wireless network.

    I usually take my Mac with me everywhere and as such have tons of large downloaded files that I have to manually copy over to the PC. I'm looking for something that'll transfer the files over the local wireless network in my home.

    Any suggestions?

    How do I sync a folder between 2 PCs?

    Just simply drag and drop music folder on to drive you want it on and it will sync and copy it to that drive...and the music folder will remain where it was!!
