 Choose which OneDrive folders to sync to your computer

If you don't want to sync all of your folders in OneDrive to your computer, you can specify which folders you'd like to sync

Notes: 

• You can choose which folders to sync only if you are using the new OneDrive sync client. Which OneDrive app?

• Got Windows 10 or Mac 10.14? Then what are you waiting for? Save space with Files On-Demand for Windows or for Mac today!

1. Select the white or blue OneDrive cloud icon in the Windows taskbar notification area.

Note: You might need to select the Show hidden icons arrow  next to the notification area to see the OneDrive icon.

2. Select Help & Settings > Settings.

3. Select the Account tab, and select Choose folders.

4. In the Sync your OneDrive files to this PC dialog box, uncheck any folders you don't want to sync to your computer and select OK.

Note: You cannot add non-OneDrive folders (such as C: and D:).

Notes: 

• If you uncheck a folder you are syncing to your computer, the folder will be removed from your computer. The folder and its contents will still be available online.

• The sync settings you choose are unique to each computer unless you're syncing everything everywhere. Also, if you're choosing folders on two computers and you create a new folder on computer A that you want to sync to computer B, you'll need to go to computer B and select the new folder there.
