How to add additional folders
You can add additional folders to be backed up by OneDrive by following these steps:
1. Open the OneDrive app on your computer.
2. Click on the OneDrive icon in the system tray and select "Settings."
3. In the "Account" tab, click on "Choose folders."
4. Select the folders you want to add to OneDrive for backup.
5. Click "OK" to save your changes.
Once you've added the folders, OneDrive will automatically back them up to the cloud. Any changes you make to the files in these folders will be synced to OneDrive and to any other devices where you have OneDrive set up.
It's important to note that adding additional folders to OneDrive may increase the amount of storage space you use in OneDrive, which may require you to upgrade your storage plan.
I follow these steps, but after step 4 I am stuck on the Sync your files to this PC window. It just sits there with the circle spinning. I've left it for 20 minutes and it's still spinning.
Cal,
Welcome to my world. We cannot even use it out me house. When you set up a new computer, it takes everyone out! No one can use the Internet. Sinc three of us live here and work from home at all hours, It eats the internal network, whih is updated to the latest greatest as is our Internet connections. When you try to add a new folder, it is the same problem. I have found that if I manually copy a folder it is a bazillion times faster. Then OneDrive will do it's work on that end and THEN I can tell it to sync and it only has to do a few files a day. Make any sense? Have fun.
