    OneDrive does not let me sync certain folders


    In the OneDrive app in Windows 11, once you click Choose Folders, certain folders are greyed out. So they are not available "on demand" in the OneDrive file explorer folder. This is super annoying and nothing has helped so far. Anyone have any insight how to fix this?

    :)

    Hello!

    There is Folder Protection feature in OneDrive, but the only locations which it can sync are Desktop, Documents and Pictures. Can I select other folders to be protected by this feature? Maybe a certain folder which is located in Documents.
