Hey Arthur,<br />
<br />
Try right clicking on the OneDrive icon in your taskbar (bottom right by the time and date) and then there should be an option to &quot;Stop Syncing a Folder&quot; and then select that folder that you don't want to sync.

Hey Arthur,

Try right clicking on the OneDrive icon in your taskbar (bottom right by the time and date) and then there should be an option to "Stop Syncing a Folder" and then select that folder that you don't want to sync.

How can I stop a folder from being pushed to OneDrive?

Microsoft OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) is a file hosting service and synchronization service operated by Microsoft as part of its web version of Office. First launched in August 2007, OneDrive allows users to store files and personal data like Windows settings or BitLocker recovery keys in the cloud, share files, and sync files across Android, Windows Phone, and iOS mobile devices, Windows and macOS computers, and the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S consoles. Users can upload Microsoft Office documents to OneDrive.
