    Hi there,My Onedrive is over-full and despite deleting lots of files, I'm still 80mb over the limit. I need to do some coursework for uni, so I'm asking is there a way I can save a document to the device or disable Onedrive to stop it from syncing? Thanks.

    :)

    Change Documents Shortcut

    It is possible because I just did it a week ago.

    I don't remember the exact steps and can't verify this since I stopped all syncs with OneDrive and uninstalled it when done.

    I got the same error when I tried to move the Documents folder from OneDrive
    I went into the OneDrive Settings, then Backup > Manage backup.
    I unchecked the selection for the Documents folder.
    Once I did that I was able to move the Documents folder from OneDrive

    This is the only way I know to do it. I suggest you only keep things in the Documents folder you don't want synced with OneDrive. For files currently in OneDrive\Documents that you still want to sync with OneDrive, create a new folder and move them there. Then just add this folder to the ones synced by OneDrive

    Onedrive storage exceeded, how to stop documents syncing to it?

    Onedrive Sync with "User/Documents"

    I am using OneDrive to sync documents. I linked the Documents folder to OneDrive and it is synced. The problem is that many applications are using the folder "User/Documents", so the data of them is synced to OneDrive too. But I don't want to sync them.
    How to deal with this problem?

    And I am also using OneNote. OneNote files are all in folder Documents. If I unlink "User/Documents" to OneDrive, will the OneNote stop sync?

    Thanks!
