Hi Marcel_Br ,
when you sign in for the first time to your OneDrive, you can change the location. See below. And you can point to even external drive.
However, if you are already signed in, you will have to Unlink your computer and sign in back.
To have files on the computer, use option Always Keep on this device.

Adin_Calkic Thanks for your feedback. Will try out with unlink.

- Marcel_BrMay 12, 2022Copper ContributorHi Adin,
we tried it yesterday without luck. Is your machine also with M1 chip?- Adin_CalkicMay 12, 2022Iron Contributor
Hi Marcel_Br ,
Yes, my Mac is M1. Keep in mind that you can't do this with external drives, partition needs to be on the device + it can't be case sensitive.
This is what I have:
- two partitions
- OneDrive is also Insider preview.
