onedrive
I have the onedrive app installed and am experimenting with it and also
searching around for answers. Thought I would ask here in the mean time. I don't want anything to sync automatically. I want to be able to sync from the onedrive to a computer. I want to be able to sync from a computer to the onedrive. I would like to choose what I want to sync at the time of syncing as opposed to having defaults files/folders. Don't see a need to purchase any extra space yet. -- Not a professional opinion unless specified. dale - http://www.dalekelly.org/ |

Great if you don't mind someone else you don't know to have your files. You are dealing with Dale, PhD so he knows that OneDrive storage is password protected. Why did you make such stupid comments?

Don't wish to sync OneDrive(OD) - rt click the icon in tray area, Settings/Settings tab uncheck the option 'Start OneDrive automatically when signed into Windows' - rt click the icon in tray area Settings/Account tab/Choose folders and and uncheck 'Sync all files and folder in OneDrive' *Optionally - one can 'Unlink this PC' to completely stop sync, though any files previously sync'ed will remain on the device* To sync from OD to the device on which OD is installed or from the device to OD - you'll need to be signed on to OD, and enable any folders you wish to sync. Note: Sync occurs two ways(up and down) automatically for selected folders (i.e. no method to stop up/down individually for selected folders To choose what you wish to sync at any given time - use a combination of the above instructions Fyi...if you 'Unlink' you will have to sign on to OD and accept the default storage location or browse and choose an optional/different location. - Many accept the default location in their Windows user profile, others choose to store OD sync'ed files in a different location(e.g. a Data Drive OneDrive folder). - Also note if one 'Unlink's then different MSFT Account logons can be used allowing different MSFT account OD's to be stored locally Caution: To ensure different MSFT Account OD's are not mixed ensure different store locations are used. Also recommended, if using multiple MSA's then Unlink any given OD to ensure you have the option to browse and select the desired sync store location.
