Re: External drive with OneDrive. Can you share details? In my experimentation I found it would refuse to place my OneDrive root on any disk marked as removable. Since I don’t own a $6000 computer, with actual drive bays or nVme slots, that limits me to keeping it on my anemic internal drive. I’d love to find out I’m wrong.
(I keep several SSDs connected via USB through a USB-C dock, if that matters to the answer)
- TheNewsIsHere 3y agoHey! I didn’t see this before today, sorry :) macOS enforces that the sync root remain local, but OneDrive does a little bit of slight of hand to be able to store files on an external drive. There is a write-up from the OneDrive team at [0] that details some caveats on how this works. OneDrive technical documentation can be difficult to follow since they like to disclose version/dated changes as blogs instead of something more formal and managed. I believe this is still possible, but experimentation with non-critical data might be advisable.
