If you were able to change Civ VI to store its files in another location, then you'd just have this same problem some time in the future with another game. Most games that need to save user files use the My Games folder.

When the game starts try to find the folder 'My Documents' and automatically creates or use the folder 'My Games'.This is not the right way to look at the problem, or the right way to solve it. Onedrive the only a thing that can do is to sync or not what you want. Originally posted by nhzt:The problem exist, because the game (steam) create or use the folder 'My Games' which is into 'My Documents'.

I you use your Onedrive, try to unsync or remove the folder 'My Games' and you can see what happens. When I move the folder 'My Games' out of 'My documents' and start the game, another folder 'My Games' created into 'My Documents'. When I unsync the folder 'My Games' and run the game, a message of Onedrive saying that 'Onedrive can't sync some files' When the game starts try to find the folder 'My Documents' and automatically creates or use the folder 'My Games'. Is it possible the game creates or use the folder which is on another folder? not into 'My Documents' but out of it? The problem starts because the game Civ6 (Steam) creates a folder into 'My documents' by default.Īnd this is what Im looking for and asking for. The problem exist, because the game (steam) create or use the folder 'My Games' which is into 'My Documents'.

I was asking Microsoft's Onedrive and they told me that I can choose which folder I would like to sync or not and I can move the folder outside of Onedrive to prevent the sync. This is NOT a game problem, but as others have mentioned, a OneDrive issue. Basically you need to look into whether OneDrive can be configured to do what you want.
