If you want to keep your files organized and up to date across your devices, synchronizing your OneDrive is essential. This tutorial will walk you through the process of selecting which folders to sync with your computer. Let’s dive right in!
Step 1: Access OneDrive Settings
To begin, locate the OneDrive icon in your taskbar. Clicking on this icon will bring up the OneDrive interface. Next, find and click on the gear icon located in the top right corner of the pop-up menu. From there, select Settings to access the configuration options.
Step 2: Navigate to the Account Tab
In the settings window that appears, look for the Account tab. This tab contains essential information concerning your OneDrive account and the synchronization settings.
Step 3: Choose Your Folders
Under the Account tab, you’ll find a button or option labeled Choose folders or Select folders. Clicking on this will open a new window displaying all the folders available in your OneDrive storage.
By default, all folders will be selected for synchronization. Review the list and uncheck any folders you do not wish to sync to your computer. This is a great way to save storage space by keeping only the necessary files accessible on your local device.
Step 4: Confirm Your Selections
After you have adjusted your folder selections, click OK or Save to confirm your changes. OneDrive will then proceed to update its synchronization settings based on your selections. This process may involve downloading new files that you’ve chosen to sync, or it could mean removing existing files from your local storage that you unselected.
