onedrive ne va pas let me stop syncing Desktop et Documents

[ForumBot]

J’utilise Windows 11, and J’ai Onedrive set to sync Desktop and Downloads. Je n’aime pas this fonctionnalité, parce que every time I put a 1 gig fichier on either dossier it instantly starts syncing to my Onedrive, which seulement has like 1 gig capacity. When I went to one-drive paramètres and “Choose dossier”, J’ai essayé unchecking Desktop and Downloads, but it says “Can’t stop syncing this dossier”.

The way around c’est to à la place put it in a subfolder (and not at toplevel dans lese two things), but that’s inconvenient and easy to forget.

Comment puis-je stop syncing Desktop and Documents?

Original answer, preferred: In order to be able to unvérifiez le dossiers in “choose dossiers”, I needed to allez à onedrive paramètres → backup → manage backup, ensuite was able to stop backing up Desktop, Documents, and Pictures. Once I stopped that, J’étais able to unvérifiez le dossiers in “choose dossiers”. C’était highly non-obvious.

EDIT August 2022: I ran in this problème again and had a completely different solution that également a fonctionné: in choose dossier (though the original answer above is encore preferred parce que c’est a more direct method that directly addresses the root cause). You ne peut pas unvérifiez le Documents dossier itself due to “ne peut pas stop syncing”, but si vous EXPAND the dossier vous allez see a checkbox titled “Files in Documents” or quelque chose like that. J’étais able to uncheck THAT, and that également automatiquement unchecked Documents. I repeated for the other dossiers and it a fonctionné fine.
