Link Any Folder in OneDrive – Easy Steps to Overcome This Limitation

Life-changing. Thank you so much for this very useful tip!

thank you so much, it's what I wanted. Glad that I can save my folders in OneDrive

Increible Gracias

Hello everyone, any chance anyone knows how to go about doing this on a Mac?

This isn't working for me becuase I manually uplaoded the folder to the Onedrive online adn tried to sync them. I think I need to delete my entire one drive contents and then make the folder from the video. I think.

Instead of the long way: Right-Click > Properties > selecting Location path > Ctrl + C
You can just do: Right-Click > "Copy as path"
On Windows 10 it is: Shift + Right-Click > "Copy as path"

Thank you!!!

Great Video. Thank you

Thank you...!

Thank You Boss. You are genius. 👍

If im not mistaken you didnt mention how to remove the mklink once established

Can you tell me how to unlink it? I keep rendering photos and my oneDrive is full very quickly every day. T_T

Does this still work for Windows 11? I've entered everything but it doesn't show up on my OneDrive. Is it because the folder i am trying to sync on a separate drive? i have an internal 2TB HDD in my laptop which is where the folder is located

This really helped me! Thank you very much, sir!

Thank you for this video. I had one issue from having 2 different Microsoft accounts (Personal & Business) and figured out I had to change OneNote in the script to be named the same as my business OneNote folder and it worked fine!!!

Is there a way to link and backup a folder within a mapped NAS drive to Onedrive? Thanks!

Hey, how to stop syncing?

<3 loving it..Very helping. Now I can sync folders which is outside OneDrive defaults :D

Also, great explanation of status icons.

Many thanks. Just what I was looking for - how to add other folders into OneDrive which would sync. It looks straightforward so will certainly give this a try.

Thank you very much. You're the best!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I've been hours searching for a solution and your video is THE SOLUTION to this annoying missing feature in Onedrive

Hey I have to business one drive account. I do all things and all command successfully executed, it's also show that junction create successful but in onedrive folder it is not showing!!!
Can you please help me????

I still can't believe OneDrive does not give one the capability to choose folders from other drives etc. It is such a common sense issue, but like we all know, common sense ain't that common. Thanks for the great video and the added training on OneDrive for people who don't really know how it works. I have been looking at all sorts of other products that can hook into OneDrive but nothing works as expected, this seems to be the cleanest and easiest solution. This video deserves more than a hundred likes.

Can change this script due to new window update?

Here your like, gentleman

This tutorial is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you!

Microsoft just made it so complicated to use this software. I don't like that syncing Desktop moves the entire Desktop to another location. Dropbox is much better!

I've just bought a 1tb OneDrive and I'm surprised this feature isn't a default. Is it so much work to use such a basic function yourself? It seems that Microsoft is stuck in 1999. So disappointed.

Thank you, this is what I would also love to set on my mac.. any suggestions? 😬

Hi, thanks for great tutorial, just a quick question:

1: I have moved my OneDrive to another HD (D-Drive) so what extension should I add now in the beginning of the link (this part - mklink /j "%UserProfile%\OneDrive). Because this link refers to C drive users profile?

2: Is it an option to save (for ex: Photos) direct into one drive, so instead of linking a folder to OneDrive to drop in direct into OneDrive folder, is this an option, because to have 5T space is actually useless unless you have 10T HD then, because everything basically duplicates to the OneDrive? Or am I not getting something lol?

"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." :( idk what i did wrong I tried reinstalling onedrive and tried again but still the same..
The script that you gave on desciption was wrong, mklink /j "%UserProfile%\OneDrive\"Folder Name" "The full path of your source folder" but there will be no quotations before Folder Name mklink /j "%UserProfile%\OneDrive\Folder Name" "The full path of your source folder" This is the correct one this worked for me. :)

I was just on my brand new computer with all of my music files on it (making music) and one drive is full. Im taking this sucker to Best Buy to get this crap off of my computer. I have a one a terabyte ssd and I want all of my music there. Or I will delete all of those vst's and musical instruments with gb sound libraries and disable this one drive spying tool. If its in a cloud then microsoft has access to it. I dont need it and so disappointed I have to basically start over again downloading crap that took me two weeks to download.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

Hi, not working for me, the cmd prompt just says: "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." and nothing shows up, did not have that "junction created" bit. EDIT: found this tool to create junctions, very easy.
Link Shell Extension

Thanks a lot! I was wondering if it is possible to reverse the operation because I am getting an error saying "an error has occurred in the script on this page" when connecting to my university VPN. I think OneDrive's syncing is blocking the VPN BIG-IP Edge Client

thanks you <3

I followed your tutorial, but it cannot be added to my one drive business account, how to do that to onedrive business account? Please help

Hi, thanks a lot! I just followed your instructions and it seems everything is working fine. Best regards.
