How do I sync files to my cloud storage?

When you first setup odrive you are given an “odrive” folder in your home directory. Inside that “odrive” folder you will see placeholders representing all of the storage you have linked. You can link as many storage accounts as you want and have them show up in this “odrive” folder.

You can download any files listed in your odrive folder. Any files/folders that you copy or move into your odrive folder will upload to your cloud storage, automatically.

Take a look at our documentation here for an in-depth walkthrough of the odrive folder:

This is all part of the standard, free odrive features.

There is another feature that is more advanced that lets you sync other, existing folders to a location in odrive. Using this feature you create a sync relationship between a local folder and a remote location in your odrive. These are folders that are not inside the “odrive” folder.

For example, if you want to have odrive sync the contents of your “Documents” folder, you can setup a “sync to odrive” relationship between your local “Documents” folder and a location in your remote storage. Any new items you place in your Documents folder, or any existing files that you change will be synced automatically.
