Random 'Attachments' folder appeared in OneDrive for Business
Has anyone else seen this? A new empty folder called 'Attachments' has appeared in all our users' OneDrive account and we can't figure out why. Searching online hasnt returned any sugges...
My biggest problem with this folder auto-creating is that it causes OneDrive for Business sites to be automatically provisioned for users even if they've never stored anything there. This is a pain when deprovisioning users because it makes it non-obvious that there is relevant data in a users OneDrive. If this folder wasn't auto-created, then if a user had a OneDrive site we could be sure that at some point they stored a file there. With this auto-creating folder OneDrive sites are provisioned even if a user never saves files to it and then we have to decide do we back up a OneDrive site when a user departs, simply because it exists or do we have to do a deeper check to ensure there is more than this Attachments folder.
