I have a bunch of files on my onedrive account synced with my laptop (windows 8.1) and Surface RT (Windows 8.1).
Now, if I add any files or folders (by web upload or by copying to onedrive folders on my laptop/Surface) all these files disappear from their location and I can find them in the Recycle Bin.
How can I troubleshoot this behavior?
Thanks in advance!
Try the feedback link from the options gear in the onedrive web page. They treat data loss issues very seriously and usually respond quickly.
I realize this is an old post, but I just ran across this (or a similar) issue and thought I'd share something that worked for me.
Check the following to see if the folders you've added to OneDrive are selected to be included in the sync:
Right-click the OneDrive icon in the taskbar and choose Settings
Go to the Account tab and click the Choose folders button
Select the checkbox for the folders you'd like to sync/save
NOTE: If you are saving files directly in the OneDrive directory (C:\Users\YourName\OneDrive\) instead of in a folder (C:\Users\YourName\OneDrive\MyFolder\), make sure to check the box for the "Files not in a folder" option.

Hey friends I came up with the question today that I have a window where I am adding users selected folder in my app from NSOpenSavePanel. I was accessing all the files and folders properly but as soon as I quit my app I am not able to open those folder because when I am giving path to open those files or folders it is showing pop up You don't have permission to access this folder
I saved BookMark data to my app's preferences and now it is working fine.
The question was ; What exactly is happening ?
Looking forward to you.
The reason for this is the App Sandbox. The idea is that the user controls to what files an app has access.
For a one time access everything is handled for you. But if you want keep access across launches of your app you need to store and restore a bookmark.
You find all details about this in: Security-Scoped Bookmarks and Persistent Resource Access
I have a folder in my server which contains daily backup of database and uploads. When I'm uploading this folder, it shows maximum execution problem due to large size of that folder. So I want to share that folder to google drive. Is there any way to share folder?
Based from this forum, it's not possible to sync Google Drive with folders outside of the original Drive folder.
Found this link - I need to sync files and folders outside "Google Drive" folder. which might help.
You can choose any folder during the Google Drive install.
Firstly select "Advanced Setup" on the second page of the Getting
Started screen.
Then click the "Change" button next to Folder Location
Select any folder you want, including network shares and mapped network drives.

I noticed one regression(?) recently - I have been using symbolic link in dropbox directory pointing to data directories, something like this - my_dropout_dire/dir1 ====> /path1/data_dir1
There is a directory tree under /path1/data_dir1, whenever there is file update, adding new file or adding new sub directory, I can get auto sync on my other linked computers.
But this stops working recently, since maybe couple weeks back. I have to add a new symbolic link to make it work:
my_dropout_dir/dir1_sub1_sub11 ====> /path1/data_dir1/sub1/sub11
If I do not do this, new files in sub11 is not sync'ed to other computers, and I do not see them on dropbox web repo either.
Does anyone also notice this?
According to Dropbox at this page: https://www.dropbox.com/help/145/en
Junction points and aliases
Dropbox will follow Windows junction points (Windows Vista or later) and sync the files or folders they link to. However, any changes to those files or folders made from the Windows operating system will not sync again until the Dropbox desktop application is restarted. To get around this, move the original folder to your Dropbox and add a junction point from its previous location to link to its new location in the Dropbox folder.
I had junctions too and they were working fine till some days ago, but apparently they were not supposed to.
tl;dr I use Dropbox with Windows symbolic links and junctions. While the Dropbox client does NOT detect any file changes during the day, it checks and syncs subfolders and files when it starts up OR RESUMES.
The files sync under the following conditions:
I restart my laptop EVERY morning, and when Dropbox client auto-starts, it syncs up the subfolders and files.
If I need to sync files during the day, I "pause syncing" in the Dropbox client and immediately resume it - and this syncs up the subfolders/files.
Not the ideal process, but it works.
PS: I've only tried symbolic links with folders on my local machine, not remote machines.
FWIW (as of a few months back) none of the other clients I tried with (Google Drive, Copy) recognized Windows symbolic links and junctions.
Dropbox version: v2.10.52; OS: Windows 8.1
I am testing a Google Chrome notebook. Whenever I download a file it goes to a folder called "File shelf" which is somehow connected to my Gmail account. Is it possible to access this folder on a "normal" system running any browser? I did not find how to do it yet. In general, is there a description on how to manage this folder: delete, copy to external storage (USB), etc?
The 'File shelf' is not connected to your Gmail. It's a place on the SSD. If you click 'Ctrl-M' you will get a folder with all the files on your local SSD.
Once you are in the folder - right click will give you the options to delete/rename each file.
If you want wish to do more with this new File API - here is a post I've wrote on it.
Good luck.
I am wondering if there is a way in objective c to have my iPad app copy a file in it's documents folder to another app's documents folder and have that app open the file for editing and finally copy the file back to my documents folder. Or better yet, can I have another app open a file from my documents folder, edit the file, and save it back to my documents folder?
So far I know I can have another app open a file in my documents folder but the app that I'm handing the document off to seems to be making a local copy and editing the copy. I also know that each app's document folder is a shared folder that users can drag and drop stuff from itunes but I'm not sure if the same can be done in code.
I am pretty sure what you are trying to do is impossible. iOS applications are "sandboxed" which means that each app has its own documents directory. No application has access to the file system outside its own "sandbox" i.e. outside its own local documents directory.
For more on the iOS application sandbox, Read here.
Though a sandbox exists, I found a way to work around it (it's a trick being used by other File Manager apps like GoAruna). I would first register my app as an app that can open the type of files that I plan to work with. Then I use the Open In functionality to have my users open up my apps local documents in the second app, an app like iAnnotate. Then, because my app is registered as an app that can open the current file type, I can instruct my users to use Open In from iAnnotate to move the modified document back to my app. Sorry but I could not accept "no" as an answer. If anyone is interested in this approach, go here
If your iPad is jail broken, try this:
On the app iFile, type in the document name in the search box located at the top. Once you find the document, click on it and options would be showed to you. From here you can choose the app you want to open the file with.
Hope this helps.
