OneDrive: Exclude specific folders from syncing
OneDrive for Windows and Mac now allows exclusion of specific folders from syncing. Administrators can define folder exclusion rules to prevent local-only content (developer tooling, configuration files) from uploading to OneDrive, reducing cloud storage usage and syncing overhead.
Action required: Review and define folder exclusion rules for your organization to prevent unnecessary developer tooling and configuration files from syncing to OneDrive.
Microsoft's description
OneDrive for Windows and Mac will let users exclude specific folders from syncing, so folders that do not belong in the cloud, such as developer tooling folders like PowerShell modules, Visual Studio configuration, and node modules, stay local on the device instead of uploading to OneDrive. Administrators can define folder exclusion rules for their organization.
