Answer 1

If you are wanting to change the location of the OneDrive folder, then you have to do that through the desktop client interface. If you are wanting to sync a folder other than the OneDrive one, you won't be able to. OneDrive will only sync what is in the OneDrive folder.

If you want to sync your Documents folder, you can:

• Place a copy of Documents in the OneDrive folder
• Redirect Documents to inside the OneDrive folder
  • Right click on Documents folder
  • Click on Properties
  • Click the Location tab, then click on Move
  • Select inside the OneDrive folder

TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT "DOCUMENTS" LOCATION TO OneDrive:

Right-click on your PC's "Documents" folder
Select "Properties"
Click on the default address and "Remove" each one 'til they're all removed
Click "Include a folder"
Select your "Documents" folder in OneDrive
Click "OK"

You're done.you have changed the default location.

Do the same for your pictures and movies folders
