@Caerfinon Will doing so prevent Onedrive from updating the Electronic Arts folder on itself every time?

    @NeoveiData made available by the symbolic link should not be backed up by OneDrive to the cloud.

      @Caerfinon Should not be, but as I just tested and found out, very much is.

        @Neovei the issue then needs to be addressed with Microsoft.

        I get around the issue by disabling the sync and backup in OneDrive entirely in OnDrive Settings

        Then I specifically designate the folders I want OneDrive to backup from the OneDrive Account tab in settings.

        I leave my Documents folder to the programs that insist on only storing their data there and all my important files are held in folders of my own creation on drives of my choosing.
