    Setting Onedrive to back up & sync D drive and files on C drive


    I fear I have bought the wrong product for my needs but I recently purchased "OneDrive for business Plan 1" so I can back up and sync files on my workplace PC and home laptop.However, all I am given the options to back up are "documents", "desktop" and "pictures" - which is pretty much useless for my needs as I don't use any of these folders. My C and D drives are set up in a way that works for me and that works with the several programs I run for my business. It would be a mammoth task to move all the files I require backing up to the Onedrive documents folder and a lot of my programs won't

    Sync D Drive with OneDrive

    I am using OneDrive to sync my files on my C drive and all is working fine. But I can not find a way to have my D drive connect to OneDrive. I would like my D drive to sync with OneDrive. Does anyone know how to get a D Drive to sync with OneDrive?

    How to remove OneDrive files from D drive

    I no longer use OneDrive. I have reformatted by external drive to remove OneDrive. My files are all in my C drive under My Computer / Documents. I now still have OneDrive heirarchy in my D drive and definitely wouldn't want to restore that to my C drive
    again as restore option. Questions: Can D drive be reformatted to remove OneDrive? How else could I do that? If the files are deleted from D Drive will they delete from C drive?
