Windows 10 OneDrive Question

Axel PC · May 7, 2018

How do have OneDrive automatically save files in a folder I choose but without choosing that folder's saved location as OneDrive? I can't find a straight forward answer to this online.
For example My Documents I want to save locally on my computer by default. But OneDrive would see that a new file has been saved there or changes made to it so back it up?

Thanks?

Hi

I have to admit that I can't find a way to do that, I don't use OneDrive so I haven't messed around with it but it would be nice if once you select it as a folder it stays as the default until you chose another as it does with a normal folder.

See if this works....

Use the OneDrive app settings to change where your files are saved by default.

In the Notifications area at the bottom of your Windows screen, right-click the OneDrive icon and click Settings.
In the Settings box, on the Auto save tab, under Documents and Pictures, click the list at Documents or Pictures and pick the default save location you want.

I this makes the default save to OneDrive not locally?

I have no idea I just found that and the title said that it makes your files save to OneDrive by default, but you can give it a try and see if it works.
I don't use OneDrive myself so I'm just going by what the title says.

Let us know if it works it may help someone else.
