My Cloud Home ((FREE)) Download Folder
Trina Human
The My Cloud Home does a great job at providing private storage. I would like to have the ability to have a common shared folder that other users on the network can access, and read/write to. It is tedious to share a folder via link to my wife in the same household on a project we are working on together and then she has read only access to that folder. We should be able to have true shared folders.
The more I read about the Home line the more it seems its totally directed to ordinary users without any really knowledge of NAS uses. I would have thought folder sharing would be something a HOME user would want.
Hey there, this is Matt from the My Cloud Home product team. Totally agree this would add a lot of value the product. The current links are neat for sharing a few things with friends, but for any kind of collaboration you really need a true share folder with write access for both users. Will take this back to the team for consideration.
I just purchased a My Cloud Home Duo. When I browse to it directly using file explorer, I have a Public folder available and t behaves as a public share. It is not available through the web interface, but will allow for sharing on your network.
I've been setting up assignments for my large class using RStudio Cloud with success for some time now. The rmd of questions and data files are distributed to students this way. However, since Mar 21 evening, assignments have been opening into the 'Home > R' directory for contributors instead of 'Cloud > project' so none of their assignment files are available to the students. There doesn't seem to be a way to navigate to 'Cloud>project' from the 'Home>R' directory either (we can't see other folders in Home and the R folder just contains package files). In the meantime, I posted the files for students outside RStudio Cloud so students could upload them. However, students who started the assignment and made progress on their assignments in 'Cloud>project' before Mar 21, have been automatically switched over to the R directory today and therefore lost all their work. All assignments in our class workspace ( ) are now opening in the R directory. Please help! We have some stressed out students at this difficult time as we all move online. Thanks.
Similar problem here [except we don't have a shared workspace, I just list it via the link and made it pubic). Except for me and my students [opens up in a weird R directory with no path back to cloud). I've lost the files for my own class.
Sorry to hear about this frustrating issue, I've forwarded this to the engineering team for investigation. In the meantime, as a workaround you can click the "go to directory" button in the file navigator (displays as "..." and appears on the far right of where the current directory is displayed) and manually navigate to /cloud/project

We are in the very early stages of implementing the full M365 solution at my workplace and the Windows engineers mentioned something that worried me as the Mac admin. They said the plan was to have every user's network home folder as defined in AD to be the OneDrive location. Not just a defined folder within, but the whole thing. I know on the Mac when an AD user logs in for the very first time (as a Mobile User), the network home path needs to be a valid path with the correct permissions etc or else the Mobile User account will not be created and they won't be able to login. Has anyone set the network home folder path in AD to point to their cloud location?
As far as I know, the home folder nor any of its contents can be moved to the OneDrive Folder. This stopped working when Apple depreciated hard links in macOS. You can only create aliases (shortcuts) in OneDrive at the moment.
@AVmcclint I have a script that redirects users home folders. The folders move to OneDrive with links back. Folders I move are:
Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Movies, and Music. Let me know if you want the script.
It looks for /Users/jsmith/OneDrive - MyCompany/
then appends "-old" to any existing standard user subfolders in /Users/jsmith/OneDrive - MyCompany/ so the result would be:
/Users/jsmith/OneDrive - MyCompany/Movies-old
/Users/jsmith/OneDrive - MyCompany/Documents-old
and so on...
Then it moves /Users/jsmith/Documents/ (etc) to /Users/jsmith/OneDrive - MyCompany/Documents/
Then makes symlinks within /Users/jsmith/ that point all the user subfolders to /Users/jsmith/OneDrive - MyCompany/
Then it deletes all the "-old" folders if they exist
If that's an accurate simplification of what it does, I think I get it. it still sounds scary to redirect the user subfolders like that. I've never had good results doing that in the past. There was always SOMETHING that didn't play well redirected folders. I notice that you don't redirect Library or any loose files located within / I presume that's on purpose?
One of my main questions is when you login as an AD user for the very first time with the home folder path pointing to OneDrive, are there any issues with Mobile Account creation? I also presume that since the subfolders still reside locally on the hard drive, there's no issues with users being not being connected to the internet? Pardon my complete ignorance on this. Our Office365 project is going to be massive and I am a complete O365 n00b.
@kericson that's great, thank you. Is there a way to revert back if they decide not to utilize sync anymore? Also, what if we get a new computer and sign in? Will it automatically sync from the Home folders up to OneDrive and delete whatever is in the existing folders with those same names?
@kericson so this script just removes the links to OneDrive but doesn't put the Home folders back? Seems half baked but I like the idea of automating in general. Needs some love though to make it production for any business environment for sure. Thanks for sharing.
@kerickson I've used both your Redirect and Unlink folders successfully on 10.15 with a testing laptop, my laptop and a few other machines. We're going to test the redirection for a little bit before we make it available to standard users but everything seems to be great! Thanks
@kerickson Running it locally to test it out and the fix filenames script isn't fixing a folder of characters with lots of the ineligible characters in the name. Your setup folders script works great for me
Edit - I found the error. So I had other files in my onedrive with "OneDrive" in the name. such as a plist and a folder of screenshots I'd made to document instructions "OneDrive setup screenshots" that made it so the $onedrive variable was a list of locations rather than just the one location. and none of the other commands were searching correctly. I changed the find command to just look for the folder named OneDrive - MyCompanyName in the default location.
I have only a couple Macs so rather than deal with the script, I just ran the commands to redirect the Desktop, Documents & Downloads. The linking process appears to complete without error, but it doesn't function as expected. For example, items copied or saved to the Desktop symolic link appear in the OneDrive folder, but don't appear on the Mac desktop. Also, the Desktop and Documents redirect / link does not persist through a reboot. Has anyone else experienced these issues or have a resolution?
@jburgod It's working OK for me in test manually linking individual folders on 10.15.6. It doesn't seem to play nicely with files on demand, and if you have iCloud Drive enabled that messes it up too.
I was looking to backup a home directory of mine to a cloud service such as Dropbox or Ubuntu One. It is my account on my university's servers. We recently had a file server failure but luckily they kept backups. I figured I shouldn't rely on this alone
Storage accounts that created in Cloud Shell are tagged with ms-resource-usage:azure-cloud-shell.If you want to disallow users from creating storage accounts in Cloud Shell, create anAzure resource policy for tags that's triggered by this specific tag.
The unmounted fileshare continues to exist until you manually delete it. After unmounting, CloudShell no longer searches for this fileshare in subsequent sessions. To view more details, runclouddrive unmount -h, as shown here:
You can unmount an Azure fileshare that's mounted to Cloud Shell at any time. TheDismount-CloudDrive cmdlet unmounts an Azure fileshare from the current storage account.Dismounting the clouddrive terminates the current session.
The clouddrive directory syncs with the Azure portal storage blade. Use this blade to transferlocal files to or from your file share. Updating files from within Cloud Shell is reflected in thefile storage GUI when you refresh the blade.
I received an email from Google Cloud Shell regarding the schedule for deleting the Google Cloud Shell home directory because it has been inactive for a long time, even though I don't have a console account or even use google Cloud Shell, I'm afraid someone is sneaking can you help?
What if I click on the blue button, that says to protect data in google cloud shell, Because I clicked on it?, And what happens if Google Cloud home directory is deleted?, Actually support team suggest like this :
When you use Adobe's file sync functionality, the contents of the Creative Cloud user folder are synced to your Creative Cloud account. Files missing online could still be available locally. Navigate to the folder listed below, and check if the missing files are available.
