Thank you for your post, Cerberus. I'm afraid I missed it earlier. Sorry.
I had already read that tutorial, which says that "Anything you ... delete in either of these two folders will also be applied to the other folder". However, I then saw posts in this thread saying that deletions in the local folder are not also applied in OneDrive, and this has been confirmed by Brink. So, I'm confused.
Also, I've seen recommendations on the web that I should use the /d flag rather than /j. I'm afraid I haven't found any explanation of the differences between links and junctions that I understand. What would be the practical implications of using /d rather than /j for mirroring a local folder in OneDrive?
My starting point is that I have a local folder (a subfolder of c:\) which I want backed up in OneDrive so that OneDrive maintains in the cloud an exact copy of the local folder. Up to now I have resisted moving the local folder into the OneDrive folder (C:\Users\.....\OneDrive) on my PC merely on the grounds that the path to that folder is longer. However, perhaps in reality moving the folder would be simpler than using a link or junction.
