How to create a folder that is not synced with OneDrive
Storing EndNote libraries in cloud-based platforms like OneDrive or iCloud, as well as on network drives (e.g., I: or H:), may lead to corruption. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended to create a new folder on the local (C:) drive for EndNote libraries. This prevents OneDrive from synchronizing EndNote libraries on NSLHD PCs, ensuring their integrity.
