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?
I just purchased Microsoft 365 Personal plus additional 1 TB of storage today, thinking it would be the answer to my disgust with Google Drive and especially Drive for Desktop. *Then* I discover you can only sync Personal Folders, not folders from other drives. It will not even sync Documents or other personal folders if you have a symbolic directory link in that folder!
Very disappointed. I mostly use my system for photography and have multiple drives. Quite rude to find out I can't even backup my Photos, which is a symbolic link under Pictures to another drive.

OneDrive and other cloud sync services are useful for mitigating accidental deletions, malwarecattacks and making files broadly accessible. They are not full backup solutions. That should be done separately.
What a waste. "We will give you some protection, but not enough if you are more than a novice". You will need multiple applications to make your life more complicated instead of simpler"
Mike Williams , that sounds like a very bad excuse for not supporting a very useful feature. It's always good to be able to point to the directory that you need to be kept safe from malware, right?
