![]() ![]() Step 2: I need to sync and merge my PC files and the OneDrive files. Sounds like I can do this with the Cloud Sync app from what you're saying. Step 1: Download or sync all of the content from my OneDrive backup to a designated folder on my Synology NAS. I was hoping this post would lead to guidance on what tools to use or confirmation of steps to take. So both of these repositories need to be reconciled/merged. And similarly, since I stopped cloud syncing several months ago after Amazon Cloud Drive stopped accepting files, there are files on my PC that haven't been uploaded to OneDrive. The tricky thing I probably should've mentioned in the original post is that, over time, I have uploaded some files to my cloud storage solution that didn't exist on my PC. And then the Synology NAS to OneDrive sync should push any changes to OneDrive. Now, if I make a new Word Doc on my PC, it will sync to the Synology NAS. And then set up a sync between my PC and the Synology NAS. I will push the contents of the merged Synology files/folders to OneDrive and have that as an active sync. So start with a one direction sync from OneDrive to a folder I'll create on my Synology NAS, right?Īnd then what do you think for reconciling the files from the PC to "merge" the two? Make a push sync from my PC to the Synology NAS with that checkbox option you mentioned so that it doesn't delete files at the destination? That's what I was picturing anyway.Īnd then, if it's all on my Synology together and happy, I can set up a folder on OneDrive for the combined contents of my OneDrive and PC backup going from the Synology to OneDrive. You can do a one direction sync to either push or pull files from one drive. I feel like I'm always chasing down hacked-together solutions and GitHub posts to accomplish my goals. Good to know much of this can be accomplished with the stock apps. And from there, using that to backup to OneDrive. Then, I set my PC to sync with it, backing up my PC to the Synology. I wondered if it was possible to get that data from OneDrive to my Synology NAS. I am searching again for how to get OneDrive to sync the local files/folders with their cloud locations again, but I have a feeling that isn't going to work as I had hoped. But that is lighting a fire under me to protect my files. Luckily, all of my important files are on a SATA storage D:/ in my PC and is unharmed. Until my C:/ OS SSD drive crashed a month ago. So I searched for alternative solutions for a bit, got busy with work, and then put that project aside for a bit. You have to nest everything in the OneDrive folder and Symlinks do not work. Unfortunately, the OneDrive app does not work that way. ![]() I migrated all of my data to OneDrive and had hoped that I could use Symlinks or something to connect all of the local folders on my PC to their counterparts in the cloud. But then they discontinued it, and I had to find a new home for my digital life. The app was great and allowed custom folder backup settings. Until a year or so ago, I was paying $60 per year for Amazon Cloud Drive's 1TB plan. Recently, I have been thinking about using it to backup/sync all of my documents and pictures as well. I have a 1019+ NAS which I have been using for all of my Plex movies, TV, and music. So use the search function and see if you find an answer to your question.
