Hi, All!

I love playing games, and I like GOG and I like steam. Both have their respective advantages and disadvantages, however, and one of the disadvantages with playing games on GOG.com is that save games are not automatically backed up and accessible across all devices.

But, I am sure that there is a workaround using onedrive. If anyone knows how I can change where *for example* the whicher 3 saves games and loads games from, that would be great! Or, alternatively, if someone could tell me how to just get a folder to automatically movie files to a onedrive folder, that would be great too.

I'm sure many other people would like to know this as well, so if anyone has any tips, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you!

Use mklink.

On Windows 8 or above, right click the Start Button and hit "Command Prompt (Admin)", if not, then search for it using your Start Menu on 7 and below, and right click it to run as admin if only to make sure mklink doesn't complain about it, if it does.

Then enter mklink and hit enter, and you'll learn how to do it. I prefer hard links so, the command according to my preferences would be:

mklink /H link target

/H - hard link
link - Where the link will be. For example, it will be in C:\OneDrive\SavedGames\TheWitcher3 for instance.
target - The folder that the link will open. For example, C:\Users\YourUsernameMy Documents\SavedGames\Witcher3

Of course none of the directories I named have to be true, I just made them up, but I'm giving you examples. Do that with games that you want to have cloud saves of and you'll be setup in no time.

Thank you so much!

What exactly is the difference between hard linking and symbolic linking? And why do you prefer hard link?

I don't really remember off the top of my head, but I think why I choose hard linking is because it is multi-partition friendly and doesn't look like a shortcut. Though I may be wrong and hard linking might be totally different from what I say since I didn't do it in a long time, but it should work.

And no problem!

Thank you again for your reply.

I am having some issues though :/

At first it kept saying that syntax was incorrect. Then I put quotes around the folder pathways, and now it says that access is denied. I was running it in administrator mode, however.

Any tips? I am trying to do this for planescape torment, by the way.

Well, I tried it again, this time allowing the cmd prompt to create its own folder in onedrive, and it magically worked. I used the /d command, however, so I hope that the files in onedrive are not the bogus files now. lol I did put one drive as the first of the two commands.
