Abillity to Sync(1 way, 2 way etc) any particular folder selected by user over to one Drive #3531

Closed raghavk92 closed 4 years ago

raghavk92 commented 4 years ago

Powertoy - Need an ability to sync a particular folder on Desktop or in the Documents folder. Currently the whole documents and desktop can be synced but not a single folder through the One drive app.

And also there should be a setting to enable 1-way sync or 2-way sync or "1-way sync modified".

I'll explain 1-way sync - A folder on the desktop when synced to one drive will only send data to one drive. Any -changes made on One Drive should not reflect on the folder on the desktop. The same folder in One drive should just make a copy of the data of the folder I selected on desktop.

I'll explain 2-way sync - it is the normal sync where if changes are made in one drive they reflect on the folder on the desktop.

I'll explain "1-way sync modified(on steroids)"- A folder on the desktop when synced to one drive will only send data to one drive. Any -changes made on One Drive should not reflect on the folder on the desktop. If any folder is deleted on the file in the folder on the desktop is deleted One drive should not delete its own copy. Just mark that file somehow that it is deleted on the user's computer. If the person then wants to delete those files he can or else keep it. If any new files are added on the user's folder on desktop those are synced and added on one drive.

Don't know if this possible somehow at present.

@raghavk92, i feel like the synctoy / robocopy would do this which is tracked in #26 If not, please reopen the issue.
