It's OneDrive for Business (i.e. SharePoint) that sometimes modifies uploaded files. To the best of my knowledge, OneDrive Consumer (http://onedrive.com http://onedrive.com) operates no differently than `rsync` would.

- robododo 12y agoThey are completely unrelated products, except for branding. Yeah, I know. Sigh.
- mieko 12y agoI've seen Microsoft employees across the web have to point this out a dozen times. "The New Microsoft" seems to be making better decisions overall, but it apparently didn't learn anything from the early-2000s ".net branding clusterfuck" which conflated their runtime platform, development tools, consumer-facing single-sign-on, and a few dozen other things in the mind of the public.
- larp 12y agoI think you nailed it. Perhaps out of hope but more likely Stockholm syndrome, over the last decade I seem to have got stuck in a cycle of: Blind love and hope for a new product of theirs, utter disappointment at the resulting clusterfuck after a week, hatred, switch to something else, miss it, go crawling back. Only just broken out of this loop but to be honest it knackered my productivity badly over the years. Ultimately I'm a sucker I suspect but the revelation that FreeBSD hadn't actually poked me in the eye once in the last decade had turned my hand finally. That and ruby. Yes I got tangled in DNA, ATL etc as well. Nothing but regret.
- guelo 12y agoI think the rationale was some kind of Sharepoint tagging abomination.
- katbyte 12y agobecause onedrive for business runs on top of SharePoint document libraries and well.. they can do some "interesting" things to files.
- simplemath 12y agoSame with OneNote. It has a lot of great features... and a metrick fuckload of legacy creepy crawlies under the hood.
