OneDrive: Exclude specific folders from syncing

Microsoft 365 Message Center Archive by Merill Fernando

Summary

OneDrive for Windows and Mac will let users exclude specific folders from syncing, so folders that do not belong in the cloud, such as developer tooling folders like PowerShell modules, Visual Studio configuration, and node modules, stay local on the device instead of uploading to OneDrive. Administrators can define folder exclusion rules for their organization.
