How do I make onedrive only UPLOAD my stuff to the cloud - but NOT delete them when I delete them from my desktop?I want to clear stuff from my computer but whenever I delete something, onedrive also deletes it from the cloud, making itself useless.

Deleting on-disk OneDrive folder WITHOUT deleting from cloud?

Dear Cerberus.

Er - here's a picture of my OneDrive folder, if I can work out how to attach it to this! No cloudsigns or ticks in boxes, just a long list of files I want only in the cloud, not on the hard drive (but don't want to delete FROM the cloud!!)







It's come up saying 'Attach=Config}347209[/attach] so I hope something appears when I post this!

Very sorry - how do I make the ticks and cloud signs appear? BTW - there's more in that list than's appearing in the screenshot, that's why it doesn't look like that many files.

Yours respectfully

Chris.

 

How best to get 150 GB uploaded to OneDrive.

I was in a similar situation. This method worked for me but the caveat is you need sufficient hard drive space.

1. Setup the files/folders in a folder (not onedrive) lets call it temp for uploading. Break them into groups of files that make sense and you can work with easily. Setup a second folder, lets call that completed uploads
2. Setup the onedrive client to sync the local onedrive folder to the cloud
3. Copy a small group of the files from the temp folder into the onedrive folder
4. Monitor onedrive it should upload over time in the background
5. Once uploaded move the completed files from the temp folder into the completed folder
6. Repeat these steps
7. Once everything has gradually moved into onedrive delete the temp and completed folders that are local on your hard drive, leaving the migrated files in the onedrive folder (and synced).

Depending on your network and internet connection speeds this can take a while but is a method you can just leave doing its thing.

 

Video uploading not working to the Cloud

Hi Faye,

There may be some requirements that have to be met for you to be able to upload the video file to the cloud successfully. Allow us to clarify some details so we can properly isolate the concern.

• Are you trying to upload the video from your computer to OneDrive?
• What is the file type of the video?
• What is the size of the video that you were trying to upload?
• Have you tried uploading a different video file just to check if it would go through?

We will wait for your reply.

Regards.
