Can I Choose Folders in OneDrive that I don't Want to Sync on My Mac?

Last Updated :

The answer of this question is "Yes". You can choose folders in your OneDrive that you don't want to sync on your Mac. When you first set up OneDrive, you can choose folders to sync. To do this, click "Choose folders to Sync" option. If you forget to do this when you set up OneDrive, then you can do this whenever you need it from Preferences'. To do it from 'Preferences', Click "OneDrive" icon located in the menu bar. Click "Preference" and click "Choose Folders" tab and then click "Choose Folders" option. Any changes you make in OneDrive folder will automatically sync into the OneDrive cloud. But, anything you add to OneDrive from the website or other devices won't be synched to your Mac unless they are in the folders you choose to sync. OneDrive doesn't allow you to choose to sync files or folders shared with you.

You can install PicBackMan's SkyDrive uploader for Mac from the website and start backing up photos and videos.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
