Hi, Don't know if it's a DO issue or a windows one (it seems that this issue does not happen in Windows explorer) but with Onedrive, we have the possibility to not keep a copy locally of a file or folder to save Hard drive space.
Until recently everything was ok, but since maybe the actual beta, when i delete a file not present locally on my hard drive, the file is downloaded locally and deleted after. before in DO, when doing this, the file was deleted remotly on onedrive without downloading it first. any idea ?
Are you deleting the file, or using the OneDrive right-click menu item to remove the local copy and keep the remote copy?
Which versions of Opus and Windows are you using?
Windows 10 1903 seems to have changed how OneDrive behaves (yet again), and Opus 12.15 has some mitigations for it, as well as some registry settings to turn off the new mitigations. (If you're set up any of those registry settings, try removing them.)
i'm deleting the file (which has a blue icon not the green one using Delete on my keyboard. the file is not present locally on my computer only on onedrive. I use DO 12.15.1 x64 and windows 10 pro x64 1903.
as soon as I hit delete on the keyboard, the file is downloaded and deleted after.
i'll see if the registry setting can change something! Thanks !
Don't change the registry setting if you weren't already using it. It would only make problems more likely.
So your aim is to delete the file completely, from both the local machine and from OneDrive, but when you do that with a file that isn't stored locally it causes it to be downloaded again instead?
(Win10 1903 is still blocked from my machines due to a compatibility issue -- Microsoft don't say what it is -- so I can't try this myself. But Jon has it on his machine so he'll be able to tell you if he sees the same thing.)
That is exactly the scenario on my OneDrive setup under windows 10 1903. A delete issued from the DELETE KEY seems to cause the file to be brought from OneDrive onto the local PC, from where is is sent to the recycle bin.
I assumed in was a "feature of 1903" but then, it is OneDrive so it is anybody's guess.
Opus is letting you delete the files to the recycle bin, which is something Explorer doesn't do. If you press Shift+Delete to delete the files directly without going through the recycle bin it won't download them first.
Is there a way to make the Shift+delete "feature" as the defaut one instead of hitting Shift + delete ?
This is an impossible feature for some users.
i just tried to synchronise a folder from my nas to Onedrive using the sync feature "105 files to delete and 235 to copies", and it downloadzs all the 105 files... some of these files are very big .. before deleting them... i hope there is a workaround because it make my use of DO with onedrive kind of useless.
Thanks if it's possible, because i really don't want to use onedrive with windows explorer and despit the lack of batch sync possibitily, i love and use your sync feature over any other third party archive / sync software i tried until today ;).
It seems i did something wrong, because it's not working, can you help and tell me where i did wrong ? maybe the path ? here my onedrive folder is in E:\OneDrive
Add : (just tested by changing the caps and the path and same issue)
Jon, Since the last Windows 10 update (happened few days ago), this issue is back. when syncing the files, to delete the ones in the destination tree on the onedrive account, he's downloading the files again.
Hi yes i'm using the 12.15.3
It's happens on most folders but not all of them. i had two folders which didn't do it (weird).
It seems it's happening only with the Sync Folder feature, actually i deleted files on onedrive using just delete (i get a confirmation windows "do you want to delete this file", i hit "ok", and no download of the file happens.
Maybe an issue with the sync feature ? (love it so much, hope one day it will be possible to add a batch feature !)
Hi Jon
after, 8 months i come back to see if there is a solution to this issue who is still happening, unfortunatly you didn't replied since 15th of july, so, since then, i'm "living" with the issue... which is a pure nightmare... lol.
