Sync/Backup Files of One Type While Ignoring Others

I have a bunch of photos, stored in JPEG and RAW format (.jpg and .nef), all in the same folder, which I periodically add files to, when copying from my DSLR camera. I'd like to back up only the jpg files to OneDrive, while ignoring the NEF files.

I'm having trouble figuring out where to set this up. Any further direction would be strongly appreciated.

    chexbox  Quite simply all the files in OneDrive will be synced and you can't filter by file-type.

     

    Your solution is to keep only the jpg files in OneDrive.

      I'm trying to store only the jpg files in OneDrive, as you said. They're all in a folder on my computer right now. I'm just having trouble automatically uploading the jpgs.

       

      This is on Windows 10 if that helps with anything.

        Run the OneDrive troubleshooter if OneDrive isn't running.
