1. That's the problem: I have a genealogy program that doesn't "play well" with OneDrive, which leaves me in a no-win situation. And, yes, I've discussed this with the genealogy-program "experts." <sigh>
2. Well, with Dropbox it's been easy: All my files are local and then backed up to Dropbox. At this point I'm willing to give up Dropbox backup but am finding OneDrive to be more confusing. I'll check the video you mentioned.
3. Which files separate?
