I want to use OneDrive (since I have a Microsoft subscription) to sync files. Problem is OneDrive can only sync files which are in the parent folder /OneDrive ... however most of the default save file location is "My Documents".
I'm thinking of using another app to sync My Documents with OneDrive folder (both on the same machine) so I can continue to use OneDrive. I know it'll duplicate the files but since most of them are just documents it wouldn't be more than 1GB in total, so not a deal breaker.
Any recommended app to do so ? Or a better suggestion to get OneDrive to sync the My Documents folder directly?

QUOTE(RavenSpell @ Feb 20 2024, 10:31 PM) Files in your OneDrive will appear in the Documents folder, and your local files will be synced to OneDrive's Document folder. Will this work for you? Yes that's exactly what I'm looking for. Clicked through every option in OneDrive and couldn't / didn't find the option in your screenshot ?

I am on Microsoft 365 Family Plan. Which plan are you on?
As far as I am aware, backup functionality should available since it is supposedly available for free. 365 Family as well. No Standalone. I've tried on M2 MBA and M1 iMac
