Hello, everyone

I am using Windows 10 Enterprise 1909 and OneDrive (for business version 21.205.1003.3)
I have enabled folder sync on OneDrive settings as attached screen shot.
I would like to stop sync for some of folders on this screen.
After configured setting. I would like to take backup of sync settings of folder selection.
Can I get sync configuration data by Scriptinig or other method ?

    Hello @mINI

    This is explained both with Administrative Templates method and Powershell methods here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-intune/configure-onedrive-for-business-to-sync-only-certain-folders-in/m-p/1139740

    Hope this helps with your query,

    Hi @mINI

    I am also interested to use C# or Powershell to prevent/uncheck a certain OneDrive subfolder from being synced locally on my laptop

    Can you provide a follow-up with more info about how to do that?
