Using oDrive with existing local storage/folders

Hi @jeffreyabr,
Thanks for reaching out.

odrive has a built-in way of doing this called “sync to odrive”. You can read more about that here:

This is a premium feature and is not available in the free version of odrive. The free version of odrive will sync everything located in the local “odrive” folder, similar to other clients for services you may have tried in the past.

We do not officially support symbolic links because of the risk they can introduce. These types of links can produce bad behavior in terms of performance, user experience, and data integrity under certain conditions. You can reference this post for some additional info on that:

To quote the post referenced above:
“This all being said, it is your system and you are free to do whatever you feel is best for your own use case and skill level. Technically you may be able to get these types of file system-level links to work, but it is not something we test or support anymore.”
