OneDrive
- Manually Sync One Specific Folder
  - Use Windows "junctions" (ie. symbolic/hard links to Linux/Unix users) inside a normal folder inside your '''C:\Users\<USER>\OneDrive\''' folder
    - Ex. '''C:\Users\User\OneDrive\GTR2\Junction -> C:\Other\Path\GTR2\Packages'''
  - How To:
    - Open a command prompt as Administrator (search "cmd" from Start menu, right-click and select Run As Administrator)
    - Change into your OneDrive folder (ex. '''cd C:\Users\<USER>\OneDrive\GTR2''')
    - Create the link (ex. '''mklink /j Tracks C:\Other\Path\GTR2\Tracks''')
- OneDrive's sync is surprisingly intelligent. It seems to understand the minimal thing to do even when you move or rename a large folder.
  - Even WinSCP folder sync, `rsync`, or apps like FreeFileSync (PortableApps) don't support this natively
- I've been loooking for a full folder/file synchronization tool to some kind of online web storage for a while and this method is what I need
