Feature Request: Add support for folder-to-folder mapping #290

Currently, the OneDrive for Windows client has a basic "Back up your folders" feature that maps the following folders:

Desktop
Documents
Pictures

to the same locations in OneDrive.

Though I wouldn't rely on this as a "backup" per se, it would be nice to have this feature in onedriver as well, so that moving between a Windows machine and a Linux machine is seamless.

Just create a symbolic link in your ~/OneDrive folder, linking to the folder you want to backup ... that would be the easiest item to do + what folders are 'backed up' is totally at your control ...

Thanks @abraunegg that is a simple solution and seems to work fine for me. Not sure if this issue should remain open (perhaps it's worth having a GUI option as well).
