There are other pain points too. One I ran into lately is the business version of OneDrive uses a fixed folder name based off your company name and it's hard to change. For example:
C:\Users\Rumpelstiltskin\OneDrive - Rumpelstiltskin's Gold Spinning Services Inc.\
Then you realize that Excel has a 218 character path limit on file names and things get ridiculous really fast.
- weberc2 8y agoReminds me of the days when Eclipse wouldn't run on Windows because Windows filepaths were fixed and Java package paths/identifiers (which I guess map to filesystem paths?) are crazy verbose.
- pixl97 8y agosubst X: C:\Users\Rumpelstiltskin\OneDrive - Rumpelstiltskin's Gold Spinning Services Inc.\ Annoying, but it does work.
- donmcronald 8y agoThen you're married to mapped drives like that and anyone you share with has trouble syncing files unless they're using the same trick. I also managed to create path structures that crashed the OneDrive client when I was testing that. Eventually I settled on abbreviating company names and putting OneDrive in C:\OD, so: C:\OD\OneDrive - RGSS\Shared Folder\ Not great, but better. Then when you share files and someone else syncs, they get: C:\OD\RGSS\Rumpelstiltskin - Shared Folder\ And it all goes to hell again. Lol. The base path length's are reasonably close though and seems to work ok.
