Uploading files to Onedrive with File Explorer

Install Teracopy Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not moving or copying files on my local PC - I'm uploading directly to "Onedrive online". I use Teracopy locally but I can't set an online Onedrive folder as the destination using Teracopy. I Right click on the Onedrive cloud symbol in the Notification area, and click "View Online". This shows all the files stored in the cloud, and I copy directly to it, bypassing the sync function. When copying multiple files duplicates are "Replace" or "Keep Both". I'm looking for a way to choose "Ignore" but there is no such choice.

As such, you might find a different cloud service offers what you're hoping for. However the reply (2023 here) seems to suggest it might be possible, just not very obviously from the dialogue text: windows 10 - Move files from local disk to OneDrive without re-uploading - Super User
