Windows 10: Copying files from within OneDrive directory without access to Windows

Hello, i have a hard drive from an old pc that i no longer have. Previously on said hard drive i had a folder structure that was synced with OneDrive. I now no longer have access to Windows with that hard drive. I have tried to robocopy data from inside the OneDrive directory with WinPE but when i navigate to my OneDrive folder within WinPE, the entire directory shows up empty. I cannot see any of my folders within my OneDrive folder and am not able to copy any data from there. You might suggest logging into OneDrive over the internet and grabbing the files that way but i previously had sync errors so not all of the data was moved into the cloud. Please offer support on what can be done here to get my files off of that hard drive. I had all of my files stored locally while also synced to the cloud so those files are definitely in there but i have no way of seeing them.

:)

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

Script can copy file directory in one spot but not the other

On drive E: on a Windows Server, I have directory "test". And then maybe 4 more directories down I have directory "fred". My script runs in a different tree under test. It points a to the fred directory which contains files, and sub directories with files. The script looks for files with a certain extension, makes a backup of them, then edits the original files. Now this works for all of the files directly in the "fred" directory. But the files in any of the sub directories of fred, give an issue with copying the file. As a test, I copied fred and all its contents to E:\. I adjusted the script to look at E:\Fred, and everything worked fine. The originals were copied, and edited as expected.

I compared permissions between E:\Fred and E:\test\..\..\..\fred. they're basically the same. They both have a checkmark in read only(which only resets itself after i uncheck it). The only minor difference was that E:\test\..\..\..\fred didnt have a couple of special permissions for the Users group. This involved, modify, dir traversal, read and execute. I gave those permissions but still no luck.

 

Script can copy file directory in one spot but not the other

Haha yeah its fred. sorry its 8am and my mind isnt fully functional yet. There is an error along side the one my script posts: No such file or directory at script line 20.(which is the copy line). I pointed the script to one of the sub directories exactly, still wouldnt copy. I created a new sub dir, and copied some of the files from the main directory into the new directory, those wouldnt copy either.

script:
Code: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; use File::Find; use File::Copy; my $directory="..\\..\\doc\\xsd"; find (\&subr, $directory); sub subr { foreach ($File::Find::name=~/(.*)\.xsd$/) { my $filetobecopied = $File::Find::name; my $newfile = $1 . ".origxsd"; copy($filetobecopied, $newfile) or die "$File::Find::name cannot be copied $!"; chmod 0777, $File::Find::name; open (FILE, "<", $File::Find::name) or die "Cannot open file $!"; print $File::Find::name. "\n"; local $/; my $file=<FILE>; $f=~s/<!--[\w\W^]*?-->//gi; close FILE; open (OUT, ">", $File::Find::name) or die "Cannot write to file $!"; print OUT $f; close OUT; chmod 0444, $File::Find::name; } }[/quote] thanks kreij
