I got this to work for files. It does not work for folders. I even tried editing the registry as described in “Alterative” in the answer here https://superuser.com/questions/1662589/how-to-prevent-a-folder-from-being-synced-on-onedrive, except that I tried it with the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive\EnableODIgnoreFolderListFromGPO, which is mentioned here but doesn’t exist, so I’m not sure that this has been implemented. This post https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/the-registry-key-enableodignorefolderlistfromgpo/45a8d0a7-20ce-4a3d-bfc1-f66e66ee801d from a few days ago suggests that “this parameter is not included in the latest OneDrive ADMX template”

Remove user-specific directory from .libPaths() by setting an Environment Variable in Windows, as opposed to from within R. In Windows Search bar, type environment variables. Or Control Panel, System, Advanced System Settings, and in the Advanced tab click Environment Variables. Create R_LIBS_USER to be e.g. a OneDrive folder that can be shared among two computers.
