How to add and sync folders outside SkyDrive folder?

Solution 1:

This can be achieved with a Symbolic Link.

What is needed is a symbolic link from inside the SkyDrive folder to the folder you want to sync. This works with both hard (/J) and soft (/D) symbolic links.

1. Open up a command prompt as Administrator:
   • Press Win+X and select Command Prompt (Admin)

2. Create a symlink by writing:

   mklink /D "<path-to-skydrive>\<name-of-new-folder>;" "<path-to-folder-to-be-synced>"
   

   Example

   mklink /D "C:\Users\Name\SkyDrive\Test" "C:\Users\Name\SyncMePlz"
   

   • The name-of-new-folder (or Test in the example) will be the name of the folder in which the documents will be synced.

After doing this I now have a folder named Test in my SkyDrive folder that contains all the files in the SyncMePlz folder. And changing any file, adding a file etc. in SyncMePlz will automatically be updated and synced in the Test folder in SkyDrive across your devices.
