Hi..

I just make symbolic link from OneDrive folder to specific folder in D drive, so this folder will be backup to the OneDrive.
But when there are changes inside the folder, the OneDrive not sync automatically. I should exit the OneDrive and then OneDrive doing the sync.
Anyone here know how to OneDrive automatically sync if we using symbolic link?

    Hi @Handian Sudianto

    Apparently, the link of mklink updating when files are added/modified is broken (cited from here). I understand this is an old link, but I have seen this behaviour as well.

    Try restarting your computer/logging out and logging back in to see if it syncs as suggested in the link above.
