One Drive Does Not Automatically Backup Files

Question

Hello,

There are 2 different servers in our company. One has Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and the other has Windows Server 2019 Standard Evulation operating system installed. I installed the appropriate versions of OneDrive on both of them. Then I synchronized the files I want to backup to the Onedrive folder with the "mklink /j" command from CMD, but the files are not automatically backed up. I have to pause and start the synchronization every time. As you know, OneDrive only backs up the desktop, documents and pictures automatically. I want files on another disk or in another folder to be backed up automatically. Is there a solution for this?
