  3. Move Library Folders to OneDrive

    I seem to have a basic misunderstanding of the process to move folders to OneDrive.

    I've followed all the directions that I've found and can't seem to get the locations moved.

    When I attempt to select a new location it simply keeps coming back to the "New Location" prompt.

    I'm trying to move Documents, Downloads, Music... etc. to My OneDrive folder, which is on a different physical drive. Just need a simple step-by-step lol

    Thanks,

    Moving folders from OneDrive to C: drive

    Hi,

    Thank you for the detailed information.

    Move the OneDrive folder to a new location. This is useful if you have a limited storage capacity main drive but a separate storage drive and you want your OneDrive content synced to the separate drive.
