I'm gathering that maybe I'm just being compulsive about backing up my folders for compulsive's sake. And if I "really" need to sync other folders, I think Terence's suggestion and/or MacDropAny should do just fine.Īnyway, thanks for the dose of logic/reality.

Talked with Apple support rep about changing Home directory / changing "Advanced Settings" under Users & Groups.Here's a list of things I've already tried and/or found out: If possible, I would like to do the same with my iMac that is, all the default folders in the Home directory stored in my OneDrive folder. When I used my Windows computer, I liked to have all of my "default" folders/libraries (Documents, Pictures, etc.) stored in my OneDrive folder for easy cloud backup, and also to easily synchronize my files across multiple computers.
