I can't remove a folder from the sync list because I'm using too much space - onedrive

I have a 1tb SSD for my OS hard drive and then a regular HD as a second hard drive. OneDrive appears to default to my Users/OneDrive folder and doesn't seem to have a way to change that. So what I've done is I created a symlink from the OneDrive folder to my second HD where I have 700+ MB of family pictures and videos. OneDrive doesn't realize this is what I've done so it sees that my SSD has more than 1TB of used space because it thinks all the pictures and videos are stored there. I can't stop syncing some of the other folders in one drive because of that. I have a few folders in OneDrive that I don't really need or want on my computer so I'd like to tell my computer to ignore those folders but because OneDrive thinks I'm syncing more data than my SSD can hold it won't let me stop syncing those folders. Does anyone know what I can do to stop syncing those folders?

Can Robocopy Copy Only ADS (Alternate Data Streams) ? i.e. Not Re-Copy the Data/Security

I'm not sure I really understand ADS, but it seems that a file has a main one then potentially more. Well, I ran a program and discovered that my source drive has about 700 ADS more than what the destination drive has after performing a robocopy.
I know that robocopy can copy ADS, since I started with a blank drive, then scanned with an ADS scanner revealing the ADSes of robocopied files.
So, can someone help clear up the confusion? Can I use robocopy to copy only an ADS? How do I get the number of ADS on each volume to match exactly?

Share my space in Google Drive

Excuse me, i have a Google Drive account and it has unlimited storage. But i want to share space of my google drive storage to my friend. And i'm use the share to a folder of mine so my friend can edit or upload the files. But when he upload his files, his google drive space is reduced instead. So my question how i can give my space for him but did not reduce his space.
Sorry for my bad english. i'm still learning.
create a folder in your google drive. under folder sharing, select their name/email and set to "can edit".
your friend should log in to their google drive and click on "shared with me" and open the shared folder. they should be able to upload/edit etc as normal, with files being stored under your account, not theirs.

In OSX (Mountain Lion) Only allowing an application to open if a condition is met

Is there any simple way to do this?
I basically want iTunes to not open if an external hard drive is not connected. This is essentially a user issue - as despite asking multiple times, my girlfriend will forget and open an audio or video file without the external HDD connected (where the iTunes library is kept) and so the usual rigamarole occurs... the media file will then try and add itself to the iTunes library, which can't be found, so it'll default back to it's position on the internal hard disk, and then when I come to use it, it'll try and consolidate it for me (which is nice), except it then decides it needs to organise it - and this takes about 6 hours due to the amount of music I have on there.
I've tried changing the internal (default) iTunes music folder path to an alias to the external one, but that starts throwing out some beastly errors once you get into the loop (when the alias is essentially a pointer to an invalid location).
Is Automator something that could be used? Sorry I'm not very pro with OS X I'm afraid.
Thanks,
Duncan
It seems a straightforward way to do this is just to move the iTunes.app onto the external hard drive, and replace iTunes.app in the Applications folder with an alias pointing to iTunes on the external HDD (called iTunes).
As iTunes is system protected, you'll need to change the permissions of iTunes.app to move it, which you can do via gui or terminal (sudo chmod...)
Simples.

Backup Isolated Storage as whole and recover

I am developing a Windows Phone 7.1 application. The app serializes objects to JSON and saves them to the IsolatedStorageSettings file.
The objects also have images that the user may capture with a camera. These images are saved to Isolated Storage as a jpeg file with the "Extensions.SaveJpeg" method. Images are referenced by a unique ID from the object JSON so they can be loaded from the storage with the object itself or loaded only when needed.
Now that I have this up and running, I would like to create a backup to SkyDrive functionality with recovery.
What I want to ask is how can I simply backup the Isolated Storage as whole, and recover as whole?
I've been thinking if there is a way to (1) generate a zip file containing the whole Isolated Storage, (2) upload that to SkyDrive, (3) downloading from SkyDrive and (4) unzipping it replacing any existing files in the storage.
The steps (2) and (3) I know how to do (instructions found easily by google). I can also do step (1) but with many lines of code. I am seeking for a simple solution to zip the whole storage and recover from it.
I recommend you to use Perst as the local database solution for your windows phone application.It can be imported or exported as xml which you can upload/download to/from SkyDrive or other cloud system.

How easy is it for a user to remove files from NSLibraryDirectory?

I was wondering how easy it is to remove files from the NSLibraryDirectory? I want to store some data there that I don't ever want to be removed from the device. The files are big and I have tried to encrypt them, but it takes 30-60 seconds for the files to decrypt to be displayed on the iPad and this is just too long so I didn't want to encrypt them.
If anyone can tell me how hard it would be for someone to get these files off of the iPad or have another solution of how to protect them that would be great. Thanks!
Each app has a sandbox that includes a Documents folder that you can use to organize and save resources. On a non-jailbroken device no other app will ever have access to that folder. This folder will be deleted if your app is removed from the device.
On a jailbroken device all bets are off unless you use encryption.
