The way I run it, (onedrive) i have the backups option off.
I physically put my onedrive on D:\onedrive
I set my libraries for documents to hit D:\OneDrive\Documents. pictures to go to D:\OneDrive\Pictures. I do like these things going to OneDrive. For everything else, when I save something that I want to hit OneDrive, i just hit the library called Patrick-Personal which is my onedrive, then I create folders in there for organization and drop files that I would like synced there.
For things I save that I don't want to go to OneDrive, I just save them anywhere other than in D:\OneDrive.
I don't use the Music folder, so it still points at C:\users\pat\music and i don't use videos, so it points at C:\users\pat\vides. So once the backup option is off, you can change the location tab on the library folders and move them back to where you want them, C:\users\profile\foldername.
As a suggestion, you "could", create something like C:\OneDrive. Set your libraries to you local folders as you want them. OPtionally to go choose folders in onedrive and only mark what you may want to see on this computer. With this, you can still use OneDrive for rare instances where you want something in the cloud, but your normal default save to locations are 100% local and don't sync to OneDrive.
