    ReFS and OneDrive incompatibility - odd/expensive workaround?


    I have a two disk ReFS storage pool set up as a mirror in storage spaces. It's been running well for sometime, and is accessed frequently by multiple users over a network share.

    I'd like to start syncing data in the pool to the cloud using onedrive, but onedrive is incompatible with ReFS (very frustrating).

    I don't want to convert the pool to NTFS... so...

    I'm thinking I add 1 more physical disk to the computer, format it as NTFS, and then set it up as a mirror of the storage pool using the 'add mirror' option in the disk management control panel.

    Yes... downside here is I have to use a whole additional disk, and make another local copy of my already locally mirrored data, just to get it on an NTFS drive that OneDrive will sync... and yes.. maybe this is a Frankenstein mix of storage spaces and software RAID.... but will it work? will it have performance impact on people using the ReFS pool over the network?

    anybody have any better ideas how to solve this problem?

    Thanks for any insight,

    J...

    :)

  2. 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.

  3. E90 - Any expense managers tips?

    Hi,

    I was using until the other day the handy expenses application to keep track of my expenses. The main problem is that it is not possible to export the data from the application.

    Any good suggestions for an expense manager simple, fast and that allows to export the expenses list?

    Thanks
