Include files in OneDrive sync without copying them
Hi John.
This feature is not available natively at the moment, but luckily there is a very effective workaround (if you are using NTFS as the local file system).
You should simply create in the local sync folder a symbolic link to the folder that you want to sync (which is located elsewhere) and such folder will sync as if it were a regular subfolder of the local sync folder (it can even be selectively synced...).
You can create symbolic links using the command line or by a wonderful utility called Link Shell Extension.
Hope it helps...
My problem is similar I have a company phone and all pictures need to be uploaded automatically. I have the phone updating to my Onedrive personal account with camera roll without a problem, but I actually need them in my Onedrive business account. I've tried using a junction from the personal to business drive but it doesn't seem to work as others have stated. The only work around I see is to create a task that copies them over every say 10 minutes. Does anyone have a simpler solution?
