Locally connecting to files (Recommendation)
My two cents:
- Probably the upcoming OneDrive Files On-Demand will help you somehow: as the name implies, you will be able to sync files on-demand, without clobbering the local hard disk. You'll need to wait for the Windows 10 Fall Update, though. (https://blogs.office.com/2017/05/11/introducing-onedrive-files-on-demand-and-additional-features-making-it-easier-to-access-and-share-files/)
- To solve the problem now, you could use a third party mapping product, such as the excellent ZeeDrive. (http://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/)
Yes!
Stephen Rose has demoed it in his webinar: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/OneDrive-Blog/How-OneDrive-Powers-Modern-Collaboration-Webinar/ba-p/81366
Looks really good and could solve a lot of my issues. Look forward to being able to install the insider build.
But don't install insider builds on production machines, please!
- Awesome!!!
Salvatore Biscari Thanks for your input.
jcgonzalezmartin I would be shocked if MS actually thought forward and came out with this capability for SPO libraries in their first iteration.
It seems like every time I make progress in selling this solution to my company there is a use case where online only storage capabilities just are there from MS.
I will have to take another look at the OneDrive Mapper powershell. It had promise at one time.
- I have the same feeling...but let's dream for now we will have it after summer ^-^
