OneDrive Differential sync all files (Dec 2019) and live/active PST files ?
Hi Everyone, With the rollout of "Differential sync for all file types" in Dec 2019, does this mean that PST files that are actively used by Outlook can now be stored in OneDrive ? I know that up ...
- Yes it will work with pst however it will only sync after the file is unlocked so it would only sync when outlook is closed etc.
Syncing PSTs to OneDrive is a recipe for disaster, there are zero good reasons to do so, and a million reason why you should avoid using PSTs altogether. There will be no change in Microsoft's recommendation about PSTs at any time in the future, they're a legacy solution you should avoid using wherever possible.
Hi VasilMichev
Thanks for pointing that out. I totally agree. Our challenge is capacity (IT team and staff) to change those habits as part of our OneDrive roll out.
At this point I don't know how large / small the issue is. But where we can we'll import any PSTs we find into O365 as we go during the OneDrive roll out.
