Even though Onedrive is integrated into Windows 8.1, it is still a folder that has no connection to the default folders of Documents, Desktops, Pictures, Videos, and so forth. As such, when you save a file from a particular program, it wants to save the file in the default Documents folder. As said, this folder is outside the Onedrive folder so any files in the Documents folder are not automatically synced to the cloud via Onedrive.
With symbolic links, you can make these folders act as if they were inside the Onedrive folder. Therefore, you do not have to explicitly save files in the Onedrive folder. Just save them to the default Documents folder and via symbolic links and the files are stored in the Onedrive folder.
