keep three folders sync regularly

[wanllow]

I don't want to sync other folders because they are for windows laptop, I just want these three folders be synchronized per 300s. Should I use commands like below:
onedrive --monitor --single directory 'Zotero'
onedrive --monitor --single directory 'linux'
onedrive --monitor --single directory 'share'

No .. dont do it like that.

Please read the documentation. Review 'sync_list'

[wanllow]

really thank you
chatGPT suggested me to use --sync-list, which puzzled me for one hour, thank to your key words, I searched the advanced-usage.md and found it.

That would imply you are still trying to run 3 instances.

Do not complicate yourself to run 3 separate instances to keep just 3 folders in sync

Run 1 instance, use 'sync_list' with the 3 directories you want to keep in sync

I have created a file ~/.config/onedrive/sync_list, in this file there is just:
linux
share

after saving the file, below command tested good, just sync linux and share folders, I have put Zotero into share for convenience
onedrive --sync --resync --resync-auth

[wanllow]

sorry, my former sync_list file might be not working, it should be like this:

(# exclude all, especially windows folder at root directory
!*
!/windows/*
(# include linux and share folder at root directory
/linux/
/share/

Zotero has been moved inside share, so I have to sync these two folders
