How to add additional folders
How can I add additional folders for One drive to backup other than just Documents, Pictures, Desktop ? Say I have a folder in my C drive I want backed up all so?
OneDrive only syncs content that is inside the OneDrive folder, so you if you want other content backed up then you will have to move those folders inside the OneDrive folder.
e.g. if you have C:\folder1 to back up then folder1 needs to sit under C:\users\[YourProfile]\OneDrive (assuming that is your OneDrive folder location).
The advice given by ajeex is only about which of those folder inside OneDrive will be visible on your hard drive.
So for example you have OneDrive running on another computer with a folder WorkFiles. THat folder will automatically be synced on your first computer unless you deselect it in the "Choose folders" dialog. Then it will not take any space on your computer. The files will still be available through the web-browser.
