How do I restrict the files synced?
Hi Rod-F,
yes, you have the option to select which folders you want to sync from OneDrive to your work laptop. Here are the steps you can use to do this:1. Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the system tray at the bottom-right of your screen.
2. Select "More" and then click on "Settings."
3. Go to the "Account" tab and click on "Choose folders."
4. Uncheck the folders that you do not want to sync with OneDrive.These changes will only apply to the device you are currently using and won't affect the settings on your other devices. This way, you can manage the storage space on your work laptop more effectively.
