OneDrive: Sync Primary Folders

This article will cover how to check and configure the primary folders that OneDrive syncs to your account.  If you have not set up your OneDrive yet, please follow our other guide, HOW TO: Setup OneDrive – Breckenridge Grand Vacations (zendesk.com).

The three primary folders are:

• Documents
• Pictures
• Desktop

1. Start by opening your system tray in the bottom right-hand corner of your primary screen
2. Click on the cloud
3. In the popup window, click on the gear in the top right-hand corner
   • 
4. In the new window, in the left column, click on "Sync and backup"
5. Click on "Manage Backup"
   
   • 
6. Make sure each of the folders are ticked so the backup is turned on
   • 
7. Click save changes on the bottom left of the window and enjoy file peace of mind

If this is the first time you are backing up your files it will take some time for the sync to complete.  Please note that you cannot select your downloads folder.  Any files you wish to back up from your downloads will need to be transferred into a different folder.  Do you wish to sync other folders outside of these three? Please check out our other article: OneDrive: Sync Other Folders and Files – Breckenridge Grand Vacations (zendesk.com)
