Files On-Demand for macOS QA
Hello there!
2.24.22 UPDATE: We've been listening to your feedback, and we've made some design changes. We're releasing a new version that addresses the most common themes and makes it easier ...
Hullo Microsoft. I have seen a lot of discussion about this with people not happy about files on demand. My experience shows me it still works. Maybe I haven't dug deep enough.
I don't care where the files are as long as my staff can access them.
However my MAJOR problem is my SharePoint is now broken because of file names exceeding the limit on my MacBook. This was working in OS 12.2 with OneDrive 22.002.0103.0004 (Standalone).
Now with OS 12.2.1 and OneDrive 22.012.0117.0003 when I try to sync my files I get the following error:-
A file or folder can't be uploaded because the path is too long. Please exit OneDrive, and shorten the name or path of: {"/users/john/ SharePoint name/blah blah"}
To sync your OneDrive to a different location on your Mac, click Run Setup.
OneDrive refuses to run, all files are removed and SharePoint isn't operable.
Long File names have been a problem on Windows based computers but didn't completely stop OneDrive from working. We had work arounds.
I've looked at downgrading the Mac OS (a huge pain) but then there is no guarantee the current download of OneDrive will still break.
Please assist.
