Well, kind of OK once you've arranged the chicken bones & goat's guts in the right pattern and given up your firstborn's soul. He thought he’d sent a copy and had no idea that we were without access to it. Sadly he didn’t give anyone the rights to access that file and had gone on holiday. One bloke shared a link to an important file on his One Drive rather than a copy of this document.
I hate doing that for various reasons and I’d rather send a copy. It’s then I discover that I’m on book 200 and something,Īlso Outlook for web usually wants to share a link to files on my One Drive. IT support bloke who is fixing an unrelated issue says he’s never seen so many spreadsheets from one person. Wouldn’t save the spreadsheet just close it when done. I was used to opening a blank excel spreadsheet every time I needed to do a quick but complicated sum. Also I found that my one drive was filling up with book1 through to book 999. You can’t open files for those ‘applications’ unless they’re on One Drive. If you combine it with the web version of Office then it’s a new dimension in annoying.

I hope.īTW, when installing Windows 10 (and I guess 11), never ever ever provide your Microsoft ID, otherwise all of your user folders will be on OneDrive and you'll probably never notice until it's too late.Ĭurrently working somewhere that is a big user of MS and One Drive. The annoying thing here is when installing the OneDrive Windows app, there was no option to specify that you don't want OneDrive to suck up your user folders and empty them! Yes, there's an option in the installed OneDrive app's settings but by then it's too late!Īnyway, I've since copied all of the files back to their original local folders and reset my default user folders to point to those too, but the way the installer works makes me think it's a ruse to get you to cough up money, and it worked, but I've since cancelled the auto-renew so MS will be getting no more dosh from me for OneDrive.

I checked the original local folders in c:\Users\myusername\ and they were all empty so I decided the safest way to handle this would be to upgrade my OneDrive sub for £1.99 for sufficient space for OneDrive to do it's thing and complete, which it did. When I recently installed OneDrive on my new Windows 10 machine (to which I had previously copied all the documents and other files from my old machine), it promptly set my standard local user folders Desktop, Downloads, Documents and Pictures to point to OneDrive and it moved the contents of those folders there too, but barfed when it realised there wasn't enough space on my (free) OneDrive subscription and wouldn't proceed until the issue was resolved.
