Correct. I have it in my OneDrive folder, but I want a copy in my C Drive. In other words, I would then have a copy, in sync, in both my desktop and my laptop and the folder would be kept in synce via OneDrive.
How can I do this?
Thanks,

Hi there! I'm having an issue where i can't add a network folder to OneDrive - i always get the error:
"Local NTFS volumes are required to complete the operation."
I tried to enable all options on Group Policy for Computer\System\Filesystem\Selectively allow the evaluation of a symbolic link but i always get that error.
Also tried with a network mapped drive or with the full network path but same error!
Ex.
mklink /j "C:\Users\User\OneDrive\Test" "\\192.168.1.20\public\Test"
mklink /j "C:\Users\User\OneDrive\Test" "P:\public\Test"
Finally i tried LinkShellExtension app and it lets me create the Symbolic Links and junctions but OneDrive won't update the changes made to the local folder 😥
Can someone help?
Thanks!
This tutorial didn't work for me with Windows 10 64-bit v2004.
Do I have to restart?
This is the command I used.
mklink /j "%UserProfile%\OneDrive\My Music" "D:\Music"
I couldn't use Music because it said it already existed, so I used My Music, and it went through without an error, but it still doesn't work.

Hello Stigg,
The folder you specify in your OneDrive folder must not already exist in the OneDrive folder. It will get created in the OneDrive folder.
The command you you used for a "My Music" folder should still work for you though. Does this "My Music" folder in your OneDrive folder have a shortcut arrow on the bottom left corner of its icon indicating it is linked?
Hi Brink...
I don't have a My Music folder.
I'll explain further.
I originally had my OneDrive folder sitting in the root of D drive. My backup drive.
It has been working all the time.
But I have a D:\Music folder that I would also like to add to it.
I want to backup all my music in the D:\Music folder and sub-folders to OneDrive as I have a Terabyte of storage as part of Microsoft 365. So, I want to get some value out of OneDrive.
Maybe I'm doing it all wrong. OneDrive seems to be very restrictive.
It has made a folder here:
C:\Users\%username%\OneDrive\Music Files
And a shortcut here:
C:\Users\%username%\OneDrive
How do I see what folders are now synced?
If I go to the OneDrive settings > Choose Folders, it only displays the standard folders.

So, basically I am going to have a duplicate set of files on my C drive. Is that right?
I would rather not have my C drive fill up with music.
