Onedrive for business not supported when doing commandline

I cant set the commandline builder to include onedrive for business, as the path is not generic.
e.g the path to my own onedrive for business folder is: c:\users\ben\onedrive - "company name"

is there a way make your application support onedrive for business?

also when using the commandline builder i cannot exclude browser cache and only backup favourites / bookmarks?

OneDrive for Business path can be different for each company and it's a pain to detect it. That's why it is not supported and probably will never be.

That's right, this feature is not usable in command line (forgot to add the switch in main program and in the command line builder tool as well). It's now in my to do list and will be in next update. This will be something like /ONLYBOOKMARKS

Here is a suggestion...

How about turning things around and copy everything in the user folder, and then excluding all other folders and files exept the onedrive  for business folders?

When doing it this way, your backup application will also make a backup of those special files and folders that some people by mistake put in the root of their userfolders

this i how i normally do this in my old backup batch script
