Onedrive sigh
-
Onedrive started giving us trouble recently. Files got moved from subfolders to the root of the library. Some searching and ignoring Microsoft own answers which basically was to reinstall or repair one user in a support thread gave me the information needed to fix this. Apparently Onedrive doesn't like numbers in the beginning of folder names and it appears the risk of onedrive acting up is higher if there are a lot of subfolders. Some folders only got less than 10 subfolders but the troublemakers had over a hundred. One solution is to delete the folder recreate and move the files back in there but there is no guarantee they wont throw back files to root. So I experimented and added a letter in front of the numbers and voila the problem fixed itself. The files in root even moved back to their correct folders.

Report it to Microsoft: they won't fix it, but it might make you feel better! :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Perhaps you should post this info to Google, so that they know about it. Just a thought. ;)

Or maybe it will just result in another sigh. Worth a shot at least.
