I have an Office 365 account and want to use OneDrive for online storage. I have a Windows 8.1 "server" at home with a 25TB pool. I recently reinstalled the OS (I had Windows 7 before, and was thinking that my problem getting OneDrive to sync properly was that it was using the Windows 7 client). Now, with Windows 8.1 it seems that the problem is even worse and I'm wondering if it may be DrivePool that's the problem.
I read somewhere that putting OneDrive into the root of the Pool was a bad idea. So, I created a root folder "Cloud Storage" and put my OneDrive folder in there (using the "Location" tab under the properties Menu). Files were there previously on the Pool. Everything seemed to Move OK. I then copied several folders of Pictures to the pool and nothing would sync.
What I have discovered is that OneDrive is actually immediately crashing upon boot. There is no syncing happening whatsoever. I really want my server to be sort of the "home base" for my OneDrive storage (so that I have a local copy of everything at least in one place!).
I'm thinking about first deleting everything in the OneDrive folder and seeing if that will force a redownload of everything. That would assume that it will no longer crash. . .
Any ideas or tricks to get OneDrive to behave on DrivePool?
