    Sync a folder not in Documents to One Drive


    I have a folder not in my user/documents folder that I would like to sync to One Drive. So far, I've not been able to figure out how to do that. Actually the folder is not on the C: drive but on D:.

    I really need some help.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Duplicate Documents Folders

    There appears to be 2 or 3 "documents" folders on my computer:

    1. Libraries

    2. This PC

    3. One Drive

    The 'documents' folders in "This PC" and "One Drive" seem to be the same thing. However, the 'documents' folder in "libraries" appears to have entirely different files. Also, I tried to tell my computer to only save my documents to "This PC", and yet all
    of the documents in "This PC" are still constantly syncing with "one drive". Whereas, the 'documents' folder in "libraries" does not sync to onedrive. Why is this happening?

    The documents folder under My PC is generally default unless you've signed into Windows with a Microsoft account and signed into One Drive. If so, the One Drive documents folder will then become default. It will sync and save any documents previously in
    the My PC documents folder, then everything from there on will be saved in the One Drive documents folder. As for the documents under Users, there are 2. Public documents, which is what it sounds like and should not be used unless you wish to share the documents
    with other users on your PC, and the user documents folder, which is just another way to access the My PC documents.

    One Drive Sync Folders.: I noticed in quick access that one drive has folders in documents & pictures folder, but not in video and music folders. In one drive folder I do have pictures and videos in those folders. So why are they not synced in quick access. Henry [img] 72640
