I've read about half a dozen blogs and about all the posts I can find on this, but the only solution that is being presented sounds like "If you want to sync folders from Windows 7 to your OneDrive, just change the location of the folder in the folder
properties."
But if you have a directory nested somewhere on your secondary D:\ and do not want to move the directory, or you have a single file, that is not part of your User's library, and you just want to synchronize this single file, without moving it off of D:\,
that there isn't a way to have OneDrive automatically copy any changes made to this file automatically?
Or is there a way for us to setup our users so that the can sync files from their D:\ drive, or even a mapped drive, to their OneDrive without having to do it manually every time a change is made? Or is the only solution to just keep two copies of the file
(one on D:\ and one in the OneDrive PC library), and run a script every so often to have any changes made on the mapped drive or data drive's file up to the file staged in the OneDrive library?
The other potential concern with this is that if this is the way it works in Windows 7, is this the kind of hassle we can expect, from using OneDrive, when we move up to Windows 10? We know that Windows 8.1 deprecated user's abilities to manually backup
files and settings that they wanted saved, into a Mig file using the Windows Easy Transfer tool so they could keep it on their personal drive and that Windows 8.1 seemed to rely entirely on the SkyDrive.
Do this mean, also, when we move to 10, we're not only going to have to manually sync all of our user's files up to OneDrive, with copies, but we're also going to have to go through the hassle of designing some kind of script that forces the end user to
use come kind of convoluted script to select which files and settings they want to capture using the Scanstate (or whatever the USMT solution for Windows 10 is) instead of using Easy Transfer?
WE're sincerely hoping for a simple solution for this issue.
Thanks ahead of time for any information provided on this.
