    I don't want to sync one folder to onedrive. how to?


    I have a folder that I want to keep ON my computer and I don't want to sync or be uploaded to onedrive. How do I make this happen?

    I selected "always keep on my device" but I went to the onedrive and all the files are sync.


    I don't want them on the cloud.


    Thanks for your assistance.


    Beatriz

    :)

    Slelective Onedrive syncing

    Hi OliverE_921

    Right click the OneDrive t the bottom right of your Screen and choose Settings

    From Settings you can pick and choose which folders OneDrive will sync

    I would suggest setting up a couple of folders either in your Documents Folder or wherever you wish and set OneDrive to just sync those folders, with your important data . ..

    Prevent OneDrive from re-syncing everything after re-installing Windows 10

    The context is almost identical to that of Windows 8.1 move OneDrive to existing folder after OS reinstall, except I'm on Windows 10. I want to stop OneDrive from re-syncing everything after re-installing Windows 10 because the files are BIG and remain intact before and after OS reinstallation. Even the paths remain the same before and after (is still D:\OneDrive on my machine - the D drive is the same volume).

    I have searched on Google and found results like this or this, and no definitive answer was found.

    Is there a solution for W10?
