Back up automatically to Onedrive

You can now automatically back up files saved on your computer to Onedrive - Microsoft’s online-storage service - after the company made its ‘Folder Protection’ tool available for Home users of Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. Until recently, only Business users could access it.

Once activated, it syncs files in your Desktop, Pictures and Documents folders. You can then access them from anywhere by signing into your Onedrive account.

To turn it on, open the Onedrive settings, then click the ‘Auto Save’ tab. Next, click the ‘Update folders’ button (see screenshot) and choose the folders you want to sync. Finally, click ‘Start protection’. To see your files sync, click ‘View upload progress’.

If you don’t see the ‘Update folders’ option, it’s probably because the tool hasn’t been added to your computer yet. It doesn’t work with Outlook database files (.pst) or Onenote files not already stored in Onedrive. Read Microsoft’s blog for more details: www.snipca. com/28881.
