Desktop Location Changes With OneDrive Backup

OneDrive has an option to backup desktop files.  When that is turned on, it moves the desktop files from c:\users\username\Desktop to c:\users\username\Onedrive\Desktop.  When that happens, all of the documents that were previously in the Files & Documents fence were returned to the desktop display and the fence is empty.  Additionally, if new items are saved to the desktop, they are not automatically moved to the fences as they were before.  Is there a way to change the file location of the Desktop within Fences?  I did try the solution of setting up a folder portal, but it doesn't remove the items from displaying on my desktop.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues.

I think the best thing for you to do is to turn off the one drive option

and do a manual copy of files to one drive , so Fences isn't effected .
