Installing OneDrive on a high capacity SD card

What is the difference between a removeable vs non-removeable drive and an ejectable vs non-ejectable drive?

I would like to move the One drive folder to my SD Card). Will that be possible (posts on the internet say it is) but to me is the sd card in the slot both removeable and ejectable?

How does one make an external drive non-ejectable?

Are you referring to OneDrive? Accuracy helps in an issues diagnosis.

Slightly confused here by what you mean.

Your One Drive data is stored on Ms's cloud servers - not on a local drive, That's the whole point of it.

There's nothing to stop you copying data frome one drive manually to any local or network drive if you want to.

If you don't need / want one drive simply uninstall it or prevent it starting automatically at boot.

Yes I was referring to OneDrive

Of course i want to use Onedrive but want the OneDrive folder to be located on my SD card in the card reader slot and was asking whether that was possible

Seems it might be possible

A Removable or Ejectable drive is a External drive from your computer (ie) USB Flash, HDD or SD card.
An Non Removable, Non Ejectable drive is one that is internal to the computer and is not external so, it can't be disconnected.

As Stated, OneDrive is on Microsoft Servers (Cloud). The point being, if something happens with your C: drive that the files you chose to backup would be safely backed up.
If you want to store files on your SD card, you can just drag and drop or copy and paste, you don't need OneDrive.
If you end up moving OneDrive to your SD card, you cannot remove the SD card, or else you will get an error message saying the OneDrive folder is missing.

This is a really bad plan as SD Cards are the least reliable of external drives. They are not designed for heavy traffic.

@perfection
OneDrive data is stored locally, usually in C:\Users\*YUN*\OneDrive. Your local data is automatically synced to the MS Cloud servers depending on your OneDrive settings, but the default is usually to sync all data found in that location.

You will also see a OneDrive icon in File Explorer, this is linked directly to C:\Users\*YUN*\OneDrive.

I would not advise moving that folder to an SD card. SD cards are very unreliable as cereberus pointed out.

You may move the folder to another internal drive if you wish to though.

*YUN* = Your User Name
