George, welcome to these user forums.

From the ATIH 2017 User Guide: What you can and cannot synchronize

A synchronization process may be established between:

  • Two or more folders on two or more computers.
  • One or more computers and Acronis Cloud.

    Acronis Cloud always contains the last versions of the synced files. At the same time you cannot select a folder on Acronis Cloud to participate in a sync, such folder is created automatically.

This suggests to me that you cannot do the type of synchronisation that you are asking about, i.e. between an internal and an external drive on the same computer, this is because for each Sync Task that you create, you have to Join this Sync Task from a second computer.

You may want to look into other free synchronisation programs such as SyncFolders which can do what you ask.
