How to Do OneDrive Selective Sync?
Just as described above, in general, there are two kinds of synchronization of OneDrive.
Selective Sync with OneDrive from Local to Online
Does OneDrive have selective sync? Yes, of course. Microsoft OneDrive itself provides an official application to help its users back up local files to its cloud storage. Download and install the OneDrive app on your machine and sign in to your OneDrive account. Go to the settings, move to the “Auto Save” tab, and select “Update Folders”.
Tips: If yours is Win 10 OS, OneDrive has already been installed on your computer.
In the pop-up window, select which folder you want to automatically upload to the cloud drive.
Finally, click “Start protection”.
OneDrive Selective Sync from One Cloud to Another
As for cloud-to-cloud syncing, the self-contained software can’t help anymore. Here, you need the assistance of third-party programs such as MultCloud, a professional and reliable cloud syncing tool.
Step 1. Create a MultCloud account - Free
MultCloud is a web-based service. To make use of it, just sign up to be one of its members. There is no need for downloading and installation. Thus, you can save your local storage space.
Step 2. Add OneDrive Accounts to MultCloud
Sign in to your MultCloud account, in the main interface, click to enter the “Add Clouds” tab and choose “OneDrive” or “OneDrive for Business” according to the type of your cloud account. Then, follow the guidance to give MultCloud the authority to access your data in OneDrive.
Tips: MultCloud only allows to add one cloud account at one time. To add more cloud accounts, you should repeat the above process.
Step 3. OneDrive selective Sync
Move to the “Cloud Sync” tab, specify the source and destination cloud, and finally, click “Sync Now”.
Note: You are able to select certain folders to be synced.
