Need to sync hard drive folder to OneDrive
I would like to use OneDrive (MS cloud storage offering) as a backup mechanism for files that I have on my hard drive. For example, I would like for my Pictures folder which is stored in the C partition to be sync'd with a Pictures folder in OneDrive. I've read several articles (some of which imply that OneDrive does not actually sync with the folder on the hard drive meaning that files deleted from the hard drive are not deleted from OneDrive. Seems though that MS uses the "sync" term in describing OneDrive so it is confusing. Regardless, can someone please provide detail instructions on how to place a copy of a hard drive folder (ex. Pictures) onto OneDrive so that any new additions to the hard drive folder will also be sync'd to OneDrive? Thank you.

It does not appear that you can simply navigate to a file on the hard drive and decide to have OneDrive sync it. We moved the folder into Documents and that seemed to work. It is not entirely clear but I think we're OK.

When you install onedrive app or run the app on first use, you will be asked which folders you want to sync with onedrive and the same folders will be created on your cloud on onedrive. Any files and folders deleted or added will be synced to your cloud on onedrive.
