Stop .bak files synchronising to the cloud
Hi there
We save AutoCAD files to OneDrive and this automatically creates .bak files as well as the native .dwg files but I don't want both to synchronise to OneDrive as that is a waste of bandwidth.
However, if I tell Onedrive not to sync .bak files, it then creates loads of errors as it still objects to the .bak files sitting in the OneDrive folder on my PC. I just want it to ignore the .bak files and only sync the .dwg files without putting red sync crosses everywhere.
