Unable to move OneDrive folder to another drive

This is happening for me too it literally just stopped on win10 pro selecting any folder on any other drive will not work

selecting folder on C: will work

Hi @Marco Patella

Here's how to set it up:

1. Rename your old folder on D: (for example, change D:\OneDrive to D:\OneDrive_old) so your existing files stay safe.
2. Let OneDrive finish setting up in the default C:\Users\YourName\OneDrive location. Once it finishes loading, right-click the OneDrive cloud icon in your taskbar and hit Pause Syncing, or just close OneDrive completely.
3. Open C:\Users\YourName\ in File Explorer and delete that brand-new empty OneDrive folder it just created (or copy anything inside it over to D:\OneDrive_old first).
4. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run this command, swapping in your actual profile and folder names (if it's a work account, the folder might be named OneDrive - CompanyName): mklink /J "C:\Users\YourName\OneDrive" "D:\OneDrive_old"
5. Start OneDrive back up. It'll read the C: path normally, pick up all your existing files on D:, and keep everything stored on D: without eating up space on C:.

Step 1: Unlink Your OneDrive Account

Unlinking stops syncing safely without deleting your cloud files.

• Open OneDrive settings. Click the white or blue OneDrive cloud icon in your taskbar notification area, click the gear icon, and select Settings.
• Go to the Account tab. Select the Account tab on the left side of the window.
• Unlink this PC. Click Unlink this PC and confirm by clicking Unlink account. Close the setup window that pops up afterward.

Step 2: Move the Folder to the New Drive

Now that OneDrive is disconnected, Windows will let you move the local folder.

• Open File Explorer. Navigate to your current OneDrive folder, which is usually located at C:\Users\[YourUsername].
• Move the folder. Click the OneDrive folder once to select it, then click the Move to button on the top toolbar (or press Ctrl + X). Navigate to your new drive (such as D:\), and paste it there (Ctrl + V).
• Wait for the transfer to finish. Large folders can take several minutes to copy over to the new drive.
