Solution

If you are wanting to change the location of the OneDrive folder, then you have to do that through the desktop client interface. If you are wanting to sync a folder other than the OneDrive one, you won't be able to. OneDrive will only sync what is in the OneDrive folder.

If you want to sync your Documents folder, you can:

• Place a copy of Documents in the OneDrive folder
• Redirect Documents to inside the OneDrive folder
  • Right click on Documents folder
  • Click on Properties
  • Click the Location tab, then click on Move
  • Select inside the OneDrive folder

You should be able to do it with the OneDrive desktop client's interface.

I'm in a situation where I must use option 2. Redirect... problem is the folder I want to sync is in C:\ so the Location tab doesn't show. How do I proceed? Or do I need to manually copy the folder anytime there is a modification?
