Hi all,

I work on two laptops. Both are linked to my Onedrive and my onedrive is very large (2+TB). I have two laptops to store one set of content on one and one set of content on the other.

I am having an issue where Onedrive is processing changes from folder that I have specifically unchecked not to sync in my Onedrive settings. These are often thousands of changes that has resulted from work on my other laptop. How can I keep my OneDrive linked on both laptops but prevent Onedrive processing changes from my other folders that I do not want synched?

Thanks.

    Dear Adam Handley1,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    To better understand your issue, kindly provide the following information:

    1. Can you specify the folder that you unchecked in OneDrive settings?
    2. Can you share a screenshot showing that the folder (folder Path) in OneDrive is still syncing even after being unchecked in the settings?

    Looking forward to your response.

    Thank you for your time and patience, we hope you have a great day!

    Kind regards,
