MicrosoftWhen replacing PCs, how are you migrating files and settings from old to new PCs?
Everyone is on Onedrive :)
MicrosoftAre you using the new Known Folder Migration or are your users savvy enough to save everything they want to keep in sync'd folders?
I'm using known folder for myself since im on office insider. So I'm just waiting for it to be released into semi-annual so I can announce it to the users (they will be super excited).
But currently we just tell them if you don't save to onedrive its lost because we won't spend the the time to recover.
JeremyChapmanMSFT when is it coming to macOS? thats always the ask I get, for when the mac users can get things the same time as Windows.
I am with Carlos on this one. I was suggesting to make it a "procedure" option. Just inform users that they have to keep their important documents in OneDrive. But out head of IT thinks we should do it automatically invisible for them. Not sure if KFM will do this, but i also wait for it to come out to see how it works.
Hi Oleg,
Yes KFM is the magic on this :).
It does backup the desktop, docs, picture in onedrive for you. But for browser I suggest users to sign into chrome or firefox so their favs are saved.
We go by the rule that at any moment you should be able to work on any machine. So all your files and settings can't be saved locally. This is harder for the mac users but we are getting there.
