One Drive

[a.eh...@btinternet.com]

Hi, all

My PC engineer set up One Drive for me for most of my files.

However, Sky 8 does not seem compatible and there are sync issues. I cannot easily delete folders or move documents across.

I just wondered if anyone else used OneDrive or backed up all their documents a different way, please?

These problems seem worse now I have a new PC!

Many thanks.

While I'll admit I don't know really know enough about Sky and One Drive I am very hesitant to use One Drive all that much myself. I will back up indexes every once in while (I'm not consistent) but I turn One Drive off immediately once I'm done any backing up. One time I had an issue with an index and I wanted to go back to a version from the next day but I had One Drive on and for some reason that version got replaced with the index with the issue. I'm not really sure what happened. It scarred me! I don't trust One Drive not to over write things. Just because I have a new version of something doesn't mean it's the one I want to keep - the ultimate version. I feel like I lose archive control with One Drive.

That's just the experience who maybe doesn't know how to use it correctly :)

I use OneDrive for pretty much all of my files and have had no problems using it with Sky 8.  I have it set up so that I can work with my OneDrive files right in my File Explorer, so that makes it easier for me to use.  I have Windows 10.

Mine is set up the same way. I haven't run into any significant issues with either OneDrive or Sky 8 with this setup.
