Windows Central Question

I have an empty Music folder on One Drive in the cloud. But I have it set NOT to sync that locally (there would be too much, it wouldn?t fit all on my Surface.

In File Manager, you can see all of the One Drive folders you have synced locally, but of course none that are not, so the Music folder in the cloud doesn?t appear in file manager.

The way I understand it, you upload to One Drive in one of 2 ways: 1) using the web, you can highlight local data (or on your home network in my case), but that isnt reliable (no capability like Robocopy with the restart flag set) Or 2) use file manager, but that presumes you are syncing locally. So as you fill up data in a synced folder, it copies (syncs) that data to the cloud.

Am I just stuck here?
