    Sync folders with OneDrive on multiple drives

    Hi folks,

    I have multiple HDDs and have my default user folders (Music, Videos, Movies, Pictures) spread across them based on how I am managing things. I would like to have OneDrive point to different folders on different drives to sync but I can't figure out how
    to make this happen.

    Scenario:

    • The root OneDrive folder is currently on E:.
    • Music is currently on drive C:
    • Videos is currently on E:
    • Want both to sync with OneDrive

    Selection of a C drive folder to sync with OneDrive windows 10

    Setting Up OneDrive to Auto Backup Folders Not on C:

    Thanks for the reply, Son! Unfortunately, that solution doesn't work for my situation.

    I tried unlinking OneDrive, moving the OneDrive folder to a new location (I moved it to my E: drive, where the Documents folder I'd like to sync is located), then logging back into OneDrive and selecting that new location for the folder (as you suggested
    above).

    Once I'd done that and I tried to sync my OneDrive, the screen that lets you choose what to sync (Desktop, Documents, Pictures) popped up with a red error saying that it couldn't sync files on my C: drive because my OneDrive folder was on my E: drive. I
    couldn't find any option to sync files on my E: drive instead. It still refuses to let me sync anything that's not on my C: drive.

    I really appreciate the help though, Son! If you have other steps to try I'll be happy to give them a shot too. =)
