I strongly recommend guys that who are writers or researchers that use an SSD not use OneDrive for important files, especially for Scrivener, and Mendeley users, don't put your backup file automatically into /volume/OneDrive/.
I just don't understand why there must be three files:
volume/.ODContainer-OneDrive/
volume/OneDrive/
user/xxx/OneDrive-Personal/
This ruined my life. Actually, I have been using a paid version of one drive for more than 5 years.
I have no reason to use it anymore as I have other free drives for small space and paid version of iCloud with 50Gb.
I put all my files in /volume/OneDrive/ and then Microsoft deletes my local files in /volume/OneDrive/ and uploads it to their cloud with all the local files deleted.
I'm angry because I have a lot of files. It costs me too much time to download it and leave this stupid OneDrive.
When I download it, it saves in volume/.ODContainer-OneDrive/ instead of /volume/OneDrive/
However, I have several files saved to /volume/OneDrive/XXX/ automatically by Scrivener, Mendeley, etc.
My files including the Scrivener documents and my Mendeley papers all in a mess.
Everything is a mess now!
I'm a part-time writer, and my backup files in /volume/OneDrive/Scrivener/ are a piece of **bleep**, so I quit writing for almost half a year as you know there will be contradictions of Scrivener for different versions. I have been saving the old version more than 20 times since this update. Actually, it was always **bleep** and I paid a lot of time to repair my Scrivener, and suddenly find it is because of this stupid OneDrive.
How could it be two files in both user/xxx/OneDrive-Personal/ and volume/.ODContainer-OneDrive/. You ruined my life!
I guess the employees are updating since they need to pretend to be working.
No doubt that a lot of guys are laid off : ) Because the system gets worse as there are more engineers.
The worst thing is that I find this update too late after I try to repair my mendely and scrivener many times. I lost almost the modification of my scrivener files more than 10 times with more than 50 chapters of my book. Every time I save it to/volume/OneDrive/, it has some problems. I also lost the modification of my Mendeley backup files for my survey paper for more than 150 papers.
Before I read all the explanations online, I just kept repairing my Onedrive, Mendeley, and Scrivener.
I stopped using Onedrive since I lost my Mendeley papers. And this week I tried to use it again and find this is all because of this stupid update.
I moved all my important files out of OneDrive.
So be careful if you find some problems with OneDrive files. It's not your fault! Just stop using it!
