Selective Sync in OneDrive
If you don't want to sync all of your folders in OneDrive to your computer, you can specify which folders you'd like to sync.

Windows PC

1.      Select the OneDrive cloud icon in the Windows taskbar notification area.
2.      Select More > Settings.
3.      Select the Account tab, and select Choose folders.
4.      In the Sync your OneDrive files to this PC dialog box, uncheck any folders you don't want to sync to your computer and select OK.

Mac PC

1.      Select the OneDrive cloud icon in the Mac taskbar notification area.
2.      Select More > Preferences.
3.      Select the Account tab, and select Choose folders.
4.      In the Sync files from your OneDrive dialog box, uncheck any folders you don't want to sync to your computer and select OK.

 
Notes: 
  •  If you uncheck a folder you are syncing to your computer, the folder will be removed from your computer. The folder and its contents will still be available online.
  • The sync settings you choose are unique to each computer unless you're syncing everything everywhere. Also, if you're choosing folders on two computers and you create a new folder on computer A that you want to sync to computer B, you'll need to go to computer B and select the new folder there.
  • You cannot add non-OneDrive folders (such as C: and D:).
