moving itunes library to One Drive on Windows 10 pc

I just tried this approach this month and do not believe it to be a successful move. It may be at 42,320 items, I have exceeded some sort of file limit. But what I can say is my phone is no longer syncing properly with iTunes (playlists that should be on the phone are not, etc) and Onedrive is constantly downloading new data as directed by iTunes.exe.

Now, maybe my troubles are linked more to a summer/fall signup to Apple Music. But I just unsubscribed to it.

My plan is to my all of iTunes in C:\Users\Username\Music and that is the one that iTunes will see.

Then I will go back to using SyncToy to sync the C:Drive version of iTunes with OneDrive and my network server, so I will still have 2 backups of my library.

The incorrect sentence in first response should have said:

My plan is to copy all of iTunes to C:\Users\Username\Music and that is the one that iTunes will see.

Did it work out for you? I'm trying to do the same thing, but don´t know it it´s possible. Any help would be much appreciated. 😀 Thanks!

In theory, it should be possible to do this, Assuming you have enough storage in OneDrive to accommodate your music library.

Before attempting this, make sure your library is portable, and backed up.

Make a split library portable

With that done, shut down iTunes, and copy the iTunes folder in its entirety into the One Drive folder.

Once the copy has completed, open iTunes while holding down the Shift Key on your keyboard. This will let you select a library to load when iTunes loads.

Point iTunes to the location in the One Drive folder where you copied the library, and wait for it to load.

Note: that unless you've manually moved the One Drive folder to C:\ its usually found in your user folder and not directly on the root of the C:\ drive.

I assume your advice is still applicable?

Yes. Just pointing out in case you might have a regular folder called OneDrive on the root of C:, that might not be actually connected to your OneDrive account.
