When you create folders in your OneDrive account, then everytime you add new content to the folder, or update the files of the folder, the folders synchronize themselves in OneDrive. This is an extremely useful feature as it spares you of the headache to remember to sync each and every file to synchronize with your OneDrive folders. But at times, there may be certain folders which you no longer need to sync with OneDrive but you want to keep the existing files intact. In that case you can customize the sync feature and turn off syncing of certain folders as per your need. The steps are simple. If you want to restore the default setting of syncing all folders, then you can achieve it simply by ticking on an option Sync all folders in the OneDrive Settings panel. Check out the steps below.
