I even use CleanMyMac to help as - sometimes - there are leftovers when uninstalling an app.īut … not even CleanMyMac could help me with what was ahead. Tonight I confirmed I had all my files downloaded and safe on an external drive, so I went ahead and uninstalled OneDrive. Maybe I’ll give Apple’s iCloud a try? The Fly in the Ointment - The Hidden Truth Once I confirm that I have everything then OneDrive has to go. My entire Spotlight disk index has been invalidated so I can no longer find any of my content easily.

But OneDrive just gives you an error when you try to download them. They used to be on my hard disk, but now they are in OneDrive’s cloud.

OneDrive doesn’t support access to Linux based files such as.

I support cloud-based technology and have always been an early adopter, but I disagree when a company decides how you will manage your files for you and has no plans to give you an off switch.īut the real deal breakers for a Mac owner are now: And if I don't have an Internet connection I can’t do anything. I have client files I have to wait to re-download each time I want to access them.

But I am losing days of time not being able to work properly. They are looking into this as they would like to keep a customer and are confused why it doesn't work. You could only use the “please keep these files on my device” option on each folder. They were back to being zero bytes, symbolic links and not searchable.Īfter a few emails to Microsoft support - and they were very nice about it - it was made clear that this ‘always on’ cloud functionality was something that was the default operation and there was no ‘please switch this off’ global setting and there won’t be one. The next morning, I checked my Mac and 95% of the files had gone back to the cloud. I moved my video production cache out of OneDrive also to simplify the content. I thought this might be the solution since everything had now been downloaded, and went back and selected “keep these files on this device” on the folders and left OneDrive updating overnight. This was slow going - click, wait for the sync, repeat - and that’s when I found out about the. But I had to visit every directory to make sure OneDrive created the symbolic links on my hard disk as many directories were completely empty. I found a workaround that allowed me to copy the physical directory on my hard disk to a removable hard drive and this forced OneDrive to physically download the file and then copy it to the removable drive.

I then tried downloading the files from the Microsoft OneDrive website via the browser, but the ZIP files were too big in some cases and couldn't be opened.

I tried the option before I downloaded the files, and after. I spent 14 hours trying to download the files, trying to use the “keep files on this device” option, literally going folder-to-folder to do this as there is no master setting. I have to remember the contents of everything in my head! Not to mention that, but Mac’s Spotlight now no longer has any files on my hard disk to index, so the whole ability to search in my files quickly and easily is gone. htaccess backup files for websites I manage are no longer there, and OneDrive can’t download them because it has a problem with this filename - so they are gone for good. I keep cache files for my video editing in my OneDrive so they were backed up. Microsft gives you the ability to “keep files on your hard disk” as an option in the right-click menu for a folder, but it’s so unreliable that it basically doesn’t work. Folders emptied while OneDrive replaced them with ‘symbolic links’ - mere ghosts of the files that were there before with zero bytes in the name of helping me conserve disk space. In the space of a few minutes, my files disappeared. I upgraded the app (as normal) and got an alert saying the new feature had been introduced, but nothing to say it was now the default. They would download them to you when you want to use them. They decided that ALL files in OneDrive would default to being held only in the cloud and not on your hard disk.

Well, Microsoft did this when they released the update to OneDrive last week. It’s a sad day when a tech giant decides how you are going to manage your files and doesn’t give you an opt-out beforehand.
