Hi, About to rollout ODFB to company and want to exclude backing up Desktop & Documents. I know you can do this manually via settings but can you do this via group policy or somewhere else? Thanks

SaintsDT You cant exclude desktop & documents from Know folder Move centrally using policies. You can create a power shell script. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/use-group-policy
