I haven't used cloud storage before. I got free OneDrive space with Office, so what the heck. But I'm confused about the best way to use it. I'm on Windows 10.
I have about 200 GB of files I need to keep backed up. I was hoping I could kind of just tag a folder to backup via OneDrive, kind of like selecting them with Windows Backup. But it seems I need to copy or move the files to the OneDrive folder. That messes up various software that expects the projects to be in the previous location. I could go through them all and fix it, but is this the right move, restructuring all my folders into OneDrive and essentially saving nothing outside of OneDrive?
The other part of my question is about backups. Windows Backup doesn't auto purge old backups, so when I run out of space I have to open up the interface and spend time clicking and waiting for each individual backup set to delete. I could save a series of backups to OneDrive also, but is there better software I can use that will auto purge backups older than x days?
