how to only upload an dir (out of onedrive root dir) to remote with the same dir name ?

[shnwang]

My onedrive root dir is ~/OneDrive ,and now I have a dir ~/dir1 with some files in it . I want to just upload the dir to remote with the same dir name . I run like this :onedrive --syncdir ~/dir1 --synchronize --upload-only --no-remote-delete
but all the files be upload to remote root dir , this is not what I desire. My goal is to upload ~/dir1 ro remote ~/dir with files.
So could onedrive assign an option that dir name will be upload to ?
local dirA -> remote dirB

You cant do this.

You can only upload data that is within in your configured 'sync_dir' - this is how the API works.

You must either:

1. Move your ~/dir1 to ~/OneDrive/dir1

or

1. Symbolically link ~/OneDrive/dir1 -> ~/dir1

Thanks . For solution 1, my dir1 and OneDrive root dir may not in the same disk ,OneDrive disk may not have enough disk space .For solution 2, I have try, make a link but onedrive can not find the symbolically dir .Additionally ,dir and the sympolically not in the same disk and they have different file system.

One more question, could I specify the destination dir for upload ?

Then your symbolic link is incorrect. You need to test your setup with --dry-run.

This is clearly articulated in the documentation. Please read the documentation.
