Shorten local OneDrive path to avoid windows path length limitations
When we set up OneDrive for business, we keep the same local path on every pc: c:\OneDrive Since our company name is quite long, every synced SharePoint will be somthing like: c:\OneDrive\veryvery...
successfully done this in my pc:
1) exit One drive app (on icon bottom right, mouse dx > exit)
2) rename one drive folder from "/vvvveerrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy-llllllllllloooooooonnnnnnnnnngggggggg" ... to "work" or something .. :-)
3) restart pc.
4) the onedrive app start to compare the folder content with the online one.
In my case almost immediately confirm the structure and file prescence (surely not re-downloaded 4GB..)
bye !
Sadly that doesn't work for me. When I change the folder and restart, I will get the following error message and the client will create new folders and resync the whole data afterwards:
Client version .1122, Windows 7
Any hint / solution anyone?
Even with the new client, renaming the base path is not possible.
