Onedrive danger? I fear that I will break Onedrive and lose data.

Post by *nn1k3 »

I fear that I will break Onedrive and lose data.

I regularly use Total Commander to rename files and reorganize folders. I might even change a file attribute.

Is there anything I should NOT do, or do very carefully?

I need to better understand the limitations of Onedrive, especially in relation to the way I use Total Commander.

I have never heard of anyone breaking their OneDrive with Total Commander. You need to be careful what you put there, though, because the drives are scanned by (very dumb) programs. Your account may get closed when you put the wrong stuff on your cloud drive, e.g.
- suspected viruses received via e-mail
- photos of (your own) children, especially at the beach
- any medical photos which show nude body parts

I deal with the terabyte level of data processing in OneDrive with Total Commander as a primary tool to manage files on a daily basis and cannot see any especially related issues.

The only thing I notice is that from time to time files deleted in Total Commander do not appear in the OneDrive Recycle Bin as such, though, I am not sure what side is responsible for that.
