I have Sim 4 game so I have a sims folder in my documents and one drive saves these files automatically and I want none of it saved or synced. How do I stop this? I do not even want it touched by making a folder to be in OneDrive folders.

 

how to stop Onedrive automatic syncing and disable/disconnect it but keep all my local folders/files

I hear you now. It is the "don't come to me but I will go to you" approach as I call it. This is exactly how I have it set up on my computer. I don't want OneDrive to backup my shell folders, but if I need files synced, I can go to OneDrive folder myself.

I adjusted the instruction to reflect this change:

Steps 1-3 is to prep the files so that when you cancel the folders backup, the file/folders will remain and won't disappear.

1. Right click on the OneDrive cloud icon on the lower right on your taskbar to go to Settings.

2. On the "Sync and Backup" tab, click on "Advanced Settings" to expand that section. Then under File On-Demand, click on "Download all files".

3. Give it plenty of time to allow the files to be downloaded from the online cloud. On your computer's file explorer, you can observe the OneDrive folder and its folders/files inside. You want all of the green checkmark icon to turn solid green with a white checkmark. Depends on how many files you have, this process can take a while, so please be patient.

Steps 4 - 5 is to cancel the shell folders backup and to take those folders outside of OneDrive folder

4. Once all of the folders and files turn into the solid green icon with white checkmark, you can go back to OneDrive Settings. Very important - click on "Manage Backup" button, then turn off all folders listed there.

5. Restart the computer.

Step 6 is only needed if you want to free up room in OneDrive

6. You will still see the Documents, Desktop, Pictures folders in your OneDrive folder as a copy for the backup you already canceled. Since the sync relationship is already severed from Steps 4 and 5, you can now safely delete them without worrying about the deletion being synced to your local computer.

Now you should still have OneDrive folder in your File Explorer, but it will NOT sync your shell folders. Instead, it just sits there and will sync whatever files you throw in there by you.

 

How do I stop certain folders from syncing to onedrive?

I play sims 4 and have downloaded quite a bit of extra content for it. Unfortunately, this has all saved to my onedrive, filling it up completely. Is there a way of stopping just this folder from syncing, and leaving the rest of my documents
to sync?

I have researched this so much but all of the directions say to move the Sims folder to my desktop / somewhere local. The problem is that I can't seem to find anywhere actually local. Whenever I create/delete folders on what I think is my
local documents file, it automatically connects them to onedrive and deleting them from onedrive deletes them from local.

This is quite frustrating and I would really appreciate a solution that isn't just "move sims to your local folder".
