How do I get my OneDrive to sync only certain folders?

[Lighthouse]

I love my Windows OneDrive but it automatically snys everything: photos, music, etc. I really only need to automatically sync my Documents folder. I don't care about everything else. Is there a setting that will allow me to select which folders get synced to my OneDrive?

To selectively sync folders with OneDrive and exclude folders you don't want to sync, you can use the OneDrive app settings to customize your sync preferences. Here's how you can do it: 1. Open OneDrive Settings: - Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the system tray (bottom right corner), and then click on "Settings". 2. Choose Folders to Sync: - Navigate to the "Account" tab and click on "Choose folders". 3. Select Folders: - Uncheck the folders/files you don't want to sync. Ensure that only the "Documents" folder is checked if that's the only folder you want to sync. 4. Finish Configuration: - Click "OK" or "Apply" to save changes. OneDrive will now only sync the folders you have selected. By following these steps, you can specify which folders you want to sync with OneDrive while excluding other folders from the automatic synchronization process. This way, you can tailor your sync settings to focus only on your Documents folder and prevent other folders from being synced to OneDrive.
