OneDrive file backup on Windows 11 and 10

 

OneDrive has a file backup feature that syncs your Windows 11 (or 10) files from the Documents, Pictures, Desktop, Music, and Videos folders to the cloud, ensuring that data is protected against ransomware, viruses, and other malware.

If you have multiple devices, OneDrive can keep these folders in sync without extra steps. The only caveat about this feature is that you will need a subscription to back up more than 5GB of space since this is the limit in the free version of the cloud storage service.

This guide will teach you the steps to automatically set up folder protection to sync your Windows 11 account folders to OneDrive.

 

Set up OneDrive file backup on Windows 11

To back up your files from the known Windows 11 folders (Documents, Pictures, Desktop, Music, and Videos) to OneDrive, use these steps:

7-Click the Save changes button.

Once you complete the steps, OneDrive will upload and protect your files in the cloud against ransomware, viruses, and other types of malware. Also, your Desktop, Pictures, and Documents folders will sync to your other devices, and you’ll now be able to access those files virtually from anywhere

8-Click the “I’ll do it later” button.

After you complete the steps, OneDrive will stop syncing your Windows account folders.

The only caveat using this feature is that Outlook database files (.pst files) and OneNote files, such as .one, .onepkg, .onetoc, and .onetoc2 not already stored in OneDrive won’t be synced automatically
