![]() ![]() I normally restart the computer at least once per day, so the desktop gets sync'd daily. For some purposes, this may suffice.įor example, i only occasionally save files on my desktop, so i put a junction link into my OneDrive folder (which resides on an external SD card). However, the junction-linked desktop WILL sync when the computer is restarted (or when user logs off and back on). (other report it used to work, but fails for me as of january 2019). Problem is, mklink /J with external drives doesn’t sync to OneDrive as expected. So i prefer to keep Desktop in it's default location on the local C: drive, and just put a junction link to Desktop into the OneDrive folder on the external drive. I would not feel secure putting my Desktop folder on an external drive, since my Desktop will fail to load if the SD card is missing or corrupt. Does anyone have the answers please? Thanks in advance! How come and what is the solution?Įxactly the same happens if I use not a junction, but a symbolic link: mklink /D “C:\Users\\OneDrive\My Music” “X:\My Music”Īnd my 2nd question is: how is it possible that the result is exactly the other way around, when I change the procedure and first create the junction (or symbolic link) and then set up OneDrive on my computer? So in that case syncing a file to OneDrive online via the created link works fine, but if I change anything in the ‘My Music’ folder in OneDrive online, that change does not appear in the folder on my data partition. If I change anything in the ‘My Music’ folder on the data partition, that change does appear in the same OneDrive folder that is linked (obviously), but that’s where it stops: no syncing to OneDrive online. But the problem is that the 2-way sync fails. Anything I upload to my OneDrive online appears perfectly in my data partition folder. The uploaded file has appeared in the ‘My Music’ folder on the data partition via the created link. Back to Windows Explorer on my computer.Uploaded file appears in my OneDrive online.Uploaded a random file from my computer into the ‘My Music’ folder to test the syncing.The ‘My Music’ folder also appeared in my OneDrive online. Tested if the link with the folder ‘My Music’ on my data-partition actually works.The ‘My Music’ link appears as a folder underneath the OneDrive icon in Windows Explorer.Created the junction with this command: mklink /J “C:\Users\\OneDrive\My Music” “X:\My Music”.Opened the command prompt as administrator.Keep the standard location of my OneDrive on the system partition: C:\Users\\OneDrive.I have an existing OneDrive account with no files or folders on it yet.Īs far as I understand now, creating a junction is the way to go, although creating a symbolic link could work too in this case. ![]() :-(īoth the data partition and the Windows system partition have the NTFS file system. It all works fine… except the 2-way syncing. ![]() My goal is to 2-way sync a folder (‘My Music’), located on a separate data partition of my SSD-drive, to the OneDrive cloud via a symbol link. I really would appreciate some help, since I also did find nothing on the internet concerning this problem.I’ve already read a lot about the problems with Symbolic Links and Windows 10 on internet, but not about the phenomenon I run into now. My Android version is 7.0 and I am using a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. I tried Syncthing-Fork in Version 0.14.51.7 and Syncthing in Version 0.10.14 both from F-Droid, and both show the same behavior. But my device memory is very limited, I really need to upload stuff to my SD Card.Ĭan somebody help me figuring out the problem? Am I using it wrongly, did I oversee something? Is it a bug which will be fixed? Or is the problem known and accepted? If so, is there a way to fix it in the syncthing source code? However, when I select a folder not on the external SD Card but on my device memory, it works and I can set it to “Send
