OneDrive Path

[ChrisH]

With the OneDrive path you seem to be stuck with a local drive path like C:\Users\username. Now like most I am restricting C: drive access, how do others have this setup as you can't specify a network drive or UNC path (without 3rd party help). I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible to begin with, with files on demand and possibly having a profile clean out every week if needed for computers used by multiple users. Any tips greatly appreciated.

Onedrive does not "really" store your data in that path....and typically doesn't work well in shared PC environments because each user that logs onto that computer would have to wait for file sync to complete. The "on Demand" variant is better for this....

 

You could try a script that does a SUBST command to create - say an O: drive that points to that folder.

Even with the C drive hidden the OneDrive folder is shown in explorer. It's designed for 1:1 devices not shared.

It will be mostly for staff on their dedicated PC and yes it does appear in Explorer but soon as you click on it, it will say it is restricted. I am trying to phase out our encrypted USB drives that some staff use and although you can get to everything through the office apps, they will want to access it through explorer as well for general management. I am relying on the fact that the "On Demand" feature will work as expected.

 

The other issue I have is that the normal in built OneDrive (Win 10 EDU 1803) does not appear at all for anyone but admin and only the OneDrive for Business appears. I am troubleshooting this now as it is probably related to the removal of user apps before sysprep fix that I had to apply, just to get a new image captured!
