Hello kbaggs,
 
Welcome to the Community Forum,
 
I Good question! But I don't believe this is possible because of the way Back up & Sync is designed.
 
 I can give you some information about Backup & Sync if you want to look at the User Guide.
 
@ or @ can you add to this?
 
Hope this helps!
Let us know if you have more questions ok?
 
Best Regards,

Actually, you can.  I had neve done his before, but it works fine.
 
Create a folder in the Cloud
Go to Windows explorer, and open your Cloud Drive.
Drag your files into the new folder you created
Delete the original
 
The files will now be stored in the Cloud but not on the comuter.  Remember however that when your Windows profile is logged in, the Cloud drive is also.  You would need to disconnect from Backup&Sync in order to have the Cloud hidden.
