Is it possible to select which folders to sync in OneDrive (Skydrive) on Windows 8.1?
Is it possible to select which folders to sync in OneDrive (formerly Skydrive) on Windows 8.1?
(I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro)
This is possible in Windows 7 version of SkyDrive, but can't see setting in Windows 8.1
No, Windows 8.1 uses "smart files" to determine if the files are "online only" or "available offline" - you can do some symbolic linking tricks and change some registry values to do what you want (I think), but the option isn't native.
Check out this article to see if those tricks help you. I can't test it and provide a walk-through as I'm not on 8.1.
This can be done, and no trickery is required. See my answer elsewhere on superuser here
