OneDrive Folder Redirection - Data Loss!

I believe your problem is that you are not allowing Computer 2 to fully sync before rebooting and implementing folder redirection.

You're always going to have a problem with duplicate filenames like this. But, if you allow OneDrive to fully sync first, then implement folder redirection, the new files on Computer 2 should overwrite the files within the OneDrive folder and sync those changes to the cloud, which will then sync and overwrite the files on Computer 1 with Computer 2's versions.

Yes, we are still clobbering files, but at this point you should be able to go in to OneDrive's version history and now pull out the other versions of the files. If you do this in the opposite order, i.e. you redirect folders and then allow OneDrive to sync, OneDrive is going to overwrite the local copy of the file and then you don't have any version history to work with.

Both OneDrive and folder redirection will overwrite existing files in the destination folder. However, I can confirm it works exactly as I have described above.

We are implementing this in two phases. The first phase is complete - this involved pushing OneDrive to all machines and getting all users signed in and synced. Phase 2 will involve enabling folder redirection
