I have been doing some testing with OneDrive on a DrivePool pool on Windows 8.1
I emptied my OneDrive (in its default location in my profile on an unpooled drive C:) and created a number of small files in it (text files with some random text in each).
I used Properties of OneDrive | Location tab to move onedrive to a folder on a pool.
Within a couple of minutes Onedrive created a number of copies of a few (not all) of the txt files with a numeric suffix (eg -2 or -3 etc). The files have zero bytes. OneDrive then syncs these empty fies to the cloud.
Subsequently, onedrive seems to crash (although I can find no specific logs) - the icon in the tray disappears. if it is manually restarted it runs a little while but does not seem to "notice" changes in the files in the onedrive folder - it only syncs if it is requested (using the tray icon menu).
Basically, it is just "flakey".
If I reverse the process and move the OneDrive folder back to a normal drive OneDrive operates normally.
Is DrivePool compatible with OneDrive does anyone know?
