OneDrive and multiple computers

I am trying to set up OneDrive on multiple computers I am in charge of. I want the data from all of the computers to end up in the one online folder, but not be synched to all of the computers.

Is this scenario possible using OneDrive, or do I need to have multiple user accounts to separate the data from each computer?

Hi,

There are different settings that you can use on OneDrive to achieve your objective of selecting which files are synchronized to each computer. One possible method is to choose a specific folder that you would like to synchronize to OneDrive online. For us to resolve your concern, kindly follow the steps on this link to choose which OneDrive folders to sync to your computer.

The reason we are advising this steps is that if you specify only one folder on each computer to synchronize with Onedrive online, the other files from the other computer will not be synchronized to the other computers.

We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.
