Windows 10: OneDrive wouldn't upload folders during sync

There has been issues with my onedrive not uploading up folders but can download from the Shared Company OnceDrive. When OneDrive syncs, it only downloads, but does not upload new information/data from my workstation

How best to get 150 GB uploaded to OneDrive.

I was in a similar situation. This method worked for me but the caveat is you need sufficient hard drive space.

1. Setup the files/folders in a folder (not onedrive) lets call it temp for uploading. Break them into groups of files that make sense and you can work with easily. Setup a second folder, lets call that completed uploads
2. Setup the onedrive client to sync the local onedrive folder to the cloud
3. Copy a small group of the files from the temp folder into the onedrive folder
4. Monitor onedrive it should upload over time in the background
5. Once uploaded move the completed files from the temp folder into the completed folder
6. Repeat these steps
7. Once everything has gradually moved into onedrive delete the temp and completed folders that are local on your hard drive, leaving the migrated files in the onedrive folder (and synced).

Depending on your network and internet connection speeds this can take a while but is a method you can just leave doing its thing.

 

Can I change Regedit to upload other folders on Onedrive?

Hello Max, thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. I am here to help and provide assistance with any questions or concerns you may have.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the registry to upload other folders on OneDrive. However, you can move the folder you want to upload into the OneDrive sync folder to sync it to OneDrive online. If you want to upload a folder that is not in the OneDrive sync folder, you can go to OneDrive online and click Upload to upload the specific folder to OneDrive.

To upload or sync other folders on OneDrive, you can use the “Choose folders” option in OneDrive settings. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Click on the white or blue OneDrive cloud icon in the Windows taskbar notification area.

2. Select More and then Settings.

3. Select the Account tab and click on Choose folders.

4. In the Sync your OneDrive files to this PC dialog box, uncheck any folders you don’t want to sync to your computer and select OK.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
