Is there a group policy or intune policy that can enforce the backup of folder in local D drive to user's OneDrive account

Question

I know there is a way in OneDrive sync tool to backup of default documents, picture and desktop folder to OneDrive. This is not the function I am talking about unless it can also achieve the following end goal.

All users in my company will have their personal files stores under drive D, in order to enforce them use OneDrive, I would like to have an group policy or intune policy that can enforce the sync between D drive and their OneDrive account, so everything they created under D drive will be synced to OneDrive.

I am not asking for a way to upload the files to OneDrive, but to force the sync to OneDrive.

Thank you in advance

Hi，

In my opinion, you may use policy "Set the default location for the OneDrive folder" to move OneDrive folder to D drive.
