Using OneDrive without local copy for *some* folders
Hope there is an easy answer!
What I want to do:
1) use OneDrive as an automatic backup in the normal way for My Documents, Desktop, etc
2) store several TB of additional files *only* on OneDrive, never synching with my local OneDrive - ie, get OneDrive to just treat it as cloud-only, never trying to sync.
Why? I have an external drive with several TB of videos but can't and would never want to store them locally on my PC. Ideally, I therefore have a local (external) copy and an offsite OneDrive copy. If I mount the external drive, I know I could use MLINK to create a junction to it on my local OneDrive. But then (a) I get nervous about OneDrive ever deciding to delete from the external drive if I mount it and (b) OneDrive thinks it has about 100K files to sync, meaning it takes forever for it to recognise the few changes to the OPC files I do want to keep syncing.
Can this be done? thanks!
