I have approx 50gb of photos i want to back up one drive....

Previously, i made a duplicate of all my nicely organised photo folders on my old laptop. I added this copy to the onedrive folder for it to sync, it worked great. However....I got a new laptop so updating the files became harder having to manually add them into respective folders.

I maintain my new laptops folders well, for instance I have a friends and family folder, and a vehicles folder.

What i want, is one drive to detect any new files added to these folders and automatically upload them, however the only way i can see of doing it is to make a duplicate of the files into the one drive folder on my desk top. This isn't really an option as my laptop has a 256 SSD and is nearly full. I cant store all of my photos there as it reduces the quality of them which I do not want (For at least some of my library).

Can anyone suggest how I might achieve what I'm looking for? Open to other solutions, however I have 100GB with one drive which is handy and seems better than other options.
