当您从Microsoft订阅Office 365时，您可以访问一整套程序，而不仅仅是Word或Excel等应用程序。最有用的服务之一是OneDrive。有点像 DropBox或Google Drive，OneDrive为您提供大量的在线存储。

OneDrive不仅仅是互联网上的一个大闪存驱动器，微软^(Microsoft)已经在其中内置了一些非常有用的功能。最近和重大的变化之一是能够为某些“重要” Windows文件夹启用自动同步。这提供了一种简单的方法来确保您最重要的信息始终安全地复制到云中。

此功能最初仅适用于OneDrive for Business用户，但现在每个人都可以使用它。默认情况下，它设置为备份文档、图片和桌面^(Desktop)文件夹，此时无法更改。与DropBox不同，您也不能备份所有可能的文件类型。

例如，OneNote或Outlook PST^{(Outlook PSTs)}是禁忌。但是，在大多数情况下，您几乎可以保护任何东西。这不是磁盘映像备份的替代品，仅适用于文件。对于整个驱动器备份，您将不得不寻找其他地方。

注意：值得一提的是，执行以下步骤实际上会将上述文件夹移动到 OneDrive 文件夹中。如果您希望它们保留在当前位置，请不要按照以下步骤操作。^{(Note: It’s worth mentioning that performing the steps below will actually move the above-mentioned folders into the OneDrive folder. If you want them to remain in the current locations, then do not follow the steps below. )}

在 OneDrive中激活文件夹保护^{(Folder Protection)}

要自定义受保护的文件夹，第一步是左键单击OneDrive 系统托盘图标。^{(OneDrive system tray icon.)}

将弹出一个菜单。在这里，单击更多^(more)（三个点），然后单击设置。^(Settings.)

将打开一个新窗口。单击^(Click)“自动保存^{(Auto Save )}”选项卡。根据您的版本，该选项卡可能命名为Backup。

在此选项卡上，单击更新文件夹。^{( Update folders.)}对于较新版本的OneDrive，该按钮将命名为“管理备份^{(Manage backup)}” 。

如果这是第一次修改这些设置，那么您将看到此屏幕。

默认情况下，您的桌面^(Desktop)、图片^(Pictures)文件夹和文档^(Documents)文件夹将被选中。您可以在此处取消选择它们。准备好后，单击开始保护。^{(Start protection.)}

文件夹保护设置可能需要几分钟时间。您可以选择查看同步过程，但此时您可以关闭所有内容。您添加到这些受保护位置之一的任何新文件都将自动同步。

您还可以从任何地方访问这些文件夹的内容，包括使用OneDrive移动应用程序的移动设备。

Automatically Backup Important Windows Folders with OneDrive

When you takе up an Office 365 subscriptіon from Miсrosoft, you get access to a whole suite of programs beyond just apps like Word or Excel. One of the most useful servicеs is OneDrive. A bit like DropBox or Google Drive, OneDrive provides you with substantial online storage.

OneDrive is more than just a big flash drive on the internet though, Microsoft have built some pretty useful features into it. One of the most recent and significant changes is the ability to enable automatic syncing for certain “important” Windows folders. This provides an easy way to make sure that your most important information is always safely copied into the cloud.

This feature was originally only available to OneDrive for Business users, but now everyone can make use of it. By default, it’s setup to backup the Documents, Pictures and Desktop folders, which can’t be changed at this time. Unlike DropBox, you can’t backup every possible file type either.

For example, OneNote or Outlook PSTs are a no-no. For the most part however, you can protect just about anything. This is not a replacement for disk-imaging backups, only for files. For whole drive backups you will have to look elsewhere.

Note: It’s worth mentioning that performing the steps below will actually move the above-mentioned folders into the OneDrive folder. If you want them to remain in the current locations, then do not follow the steps below.

Activating Folder Protection in OneDrive

To customize which folders are protected, the first step is to left-click the OneDrive system tray icon.

A menu will pop up. Here, click more (three dots), then click Settings.

A new window will open. Click on the Auto Save tab. Depending on your version, the tab may be named Backup.

On this tab, click Update folders. For newer versions of OneDrive, the button will be named Manage backup.

If this is the first time modifying these settings, then you’ll get this screen.

By default your Desktop, Pictures folder and Documents folder will be selected. You can deselect them here. Once you are ready, click Start protection.

The folder protection setup may take a few minutes. You can choose to view the sync process, but at this point you can close everything. Any new files you add to one of these protected locations will be automatically synced.

You can also access the contents of these folders from anywhere, including mobile devices using the OneDrive mobile app.
