    One drive and a folder left in place on the C:\


    Hi,


    Brand new win 10 user .... meh? grin


    I just setup the new basic one drive so yea, there's the one drive folder on the PC and it can sync if you have folders in there, etc but my question is ........


    I want to leave my working folder on the C:\ drive where it is ....... Let's call it: C:\Junk


    Can I leave it in the location on the hard drive where it is and have it backup and sync without moving it to the "one drive" folder on my PC? Also, I DO want to to leave all the default drives in there that one drive setups up natively as the default.


    Just wondering!?


    Cheers'

    Dave

    :)
