However, my understanding is 1) the SB default configuration will completely ignore OneDrive files, and/or if you know to change the setting, 2) SB will still have to download ALL OneDrive files to the source PC, even if you set OneDrive not to download until a file is used (keep files in the cloud to free up disk space) and even if you set SB to 'Do not copy offline files'.Īs to #1: SB default settings will filter out all OneDrive files/folders. Like many people, my setup in: I have OneDrive folder as the Root (top) folder of my Data directory (so I can access all my data files from any PC/phone).

Custom: You cannot choose this option, but it is selected if your current file and folder decisions do not fit one of the above categories.I am writing because of my great concern of using SyncBack with OneDrive as follows:.

You create a synchronize profile and run that at home and work to synchronize your local files to your USB stick.

For example, you have a USB stick that you take to work. Synchronize: Synchronization is used when you have two locations and the files may be changed on both.When you next run the mirror profile it will delete that file from your NAS drive. For example: you mirror files from your local drive to a NAS drive. Mirror: A mirror is the same as a backup except that it will also delete backup files that no longer exist on your source drive.Files that have not changed are not re-copied. Files on your local drive will not be deleted, moved or replaced. from your local drive to your Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive. Backup: A backup copies new and changed files in one direction, e.g.For example, if you want to reset the settings so it’s a backup then select the appropriate backup option.

In simple mode it's very easy to decide what type of profile you want, or to reset your file and folder decisions.
