My old 2013 MBP running Big Sur works just fine with OneDrive with Files On-Demand disabled. I'm pretty sure it's not my system speed or Internet speed causing the problem. We have 10 Gbps Internet at work, but my connection is more like 800-1200 Mbps. New 16" MacBook Pro w/ M1 Pro, macOS 12.1. How do you trigger or force OneDrive to update changes? Every file copy or change would take many, many seconds to actually update. Something that would take a few seconds to sync is now taking minutes. I sync documents between my Mac and iPad Pro for purposes of signing my name on documents. I saved a small PDF file (way less than 1KB in size) and it takes nearly 60 seconds to sync to the cloud. There is no "F5" to refresh Finder, is there? How do I trigger a refresh? Browsing 3 folders deep now takes several minutes. It's like every Finder window is now just a web view on Dial-Up instead of showing me my actual files on a file system. Sometimes when I open a folder it takes nearly 30 seconds to populate it with files, even if there are very few.
It changes the layout of the Finder window when files/folders show up and disappear at random. Or when I drag a file into the folder it disappears. When I make a folder, the "untitled folder" sometimes disappears. I checked the Mac App Store and I'm seeing the new 1-star reviews rolling in. This just got rolled out to my system and it has made the entire experience horrible. It will not backup files only in the OneDrive cloud (see my previous post).Ĥ) None, so long as the OneDrive apps and the OneDrive cloud are trouble free. Time Machine or Arq) can only backup those files on your local disk. To make sure copies remain on your disk, pin all top level folders using "Always keep in this device" in the Finder context (control-click) menu.ģ) A backup app (e.g.
a ransomware attack).ġ) Yes, unless you tell the OneDrive app to "free up space". That allows restoration of files you have since deleted or modified, or of files destroyed by malware (e.g.
And by backup app I mean one that keeps versions of files which were on your disk at various times in the past - just the same as Time Machine does for local backup.
Use an app like Arq which can use the OneDrive cloud as a remote backup location. If you want a backup (and not sync), don't use the OneDrive sync app. But as a sync service you don't need all the files on your Mac - so long as they are stored in the OneDrive cloud. To make sure all files are both on your Mac and in the cloud, you need to mark all folders (in the OneDrive location on your Mac) as "Always keep on this device" (pinned). If you only use it on one Mac it is still a sync - between your Mac and the OneDrive cloud. Click to expand.The OneDrive app is not a backup app, it is a sync app.
