PowerShell - How to sync specific folder on OneDrive ?

Topic: 

How sync specific folder in Microsoft OneDrive ? 
How to sync save game data directly in one drive ?

For example - I'm playing GTA IV game and the Save Game location is

"C:\Users\lokes\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games 

Answer:

 

We can't directly select and browse that specific folder from the OneDrive app because it's located in a system directory. 

However, there's a workaround we can try using symbolic links. This way, we can trick OneDrive into syncing the folder.

Steps:

1 - Create a New Folder: Optional 

First, create a new folder in  OneDrive  where we want to sync the above folder or any specific folder from the PC

I'm Creating a folder called "SaveGames" in my OneDrive

C:\Users\lokesh\OneDrive\SaveGames

2 - Open PowerShell as Administrator:

Press Win + X and select "Command Prompt (Admin)" or "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".

3 - Create a Symbolic Link:

In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter:

New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\lokes\OneDrive\SaveGames\Rockstar Games" -Target "C:\Users\lokes\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games"

This command creates a symbolic link in your OneDrive folder that points to the original folder & OneDrive will sync the link as if it were the actual folder.

Syncing..
