Backing up a HD to Amazon cloud with odrive then reformat HD

I need to backup one of my pc’s hard drives to Amazon cloud with odrive. My ultimate goal in this is to be able to reformat the drive. If I sync the hd to cloud then unsync will odrive delete the files in the cloud? Obviously I need the files backed up in the cloud. If odrive does delete them how can this be side stepped? Can I disconnect host pc from internet move the files to a different folder within amazon cloud with a different machine then startup original host machine and reformat? Thanks

Hi,
Unsync will only clear the local cache for the files/folders you’ve selected. It will not delete the data on the cloud. You can use “sync to odrive” to sync your external drive to Amazon. After it is done you can right-click->remove sync to disengage the sync relationship on the folder(s).

Here is some additional information on that:
