![]() ![]() In reply to quick_razor360: Didn't for me. Guess OneDrive is only intended for desktop machines with Terabyte drives formatted NTFS, a file system that dates back to NT.I'd post a link to the Answers thread, but it seems to be inaccessible at the moment, or maybe forever, if you are a conspiracy theorist. ![]() It's their format, specifically indicated for high capacity SD cards, which are likely to be installed in the anemically provisioned Windows mobile/portable devices. It is freakin'' ridiculous that exFat isn't supported. I haven't found a Windows device that will format a 256G SD in anything other than exFAT yet.We have a thread going on Answers, MSs preferred support format (user supported) on this. I have a couple of devices that I've jumped through hoops to move the files, redirect OneDrive, reformat and move back and redirect. If you stick an SD card in a Surface/Windows Phone and say format, it defaults to exFat, a format now all of a sudden not supported by OneDrive. This affects exFat, the MS proprietary, and SD card committee recommended format for SD cards over 32GB. It was so bad and Microsoft couldn't help so I switched to DropBox after losing work on multiple occasions and everything has worked very reliably since then and syncing is faster.I have just switched back to OneDrive again (as would rather not have to pay for both!) and the new sync client with files on demand and Office 2016 seems better although I have already had it create duplicate files (where one has the computer name on the end) so time will tell!Robin Log in to Replyįat32 my ass. In reply to Darmok N Jalad:Around the time placeholder support was removed I found OneDrive basically became incompatible with Office 2013 whether it was the standard or business one and you could save a new file to OneDrive then when you pressed save a second time it would tell you the file was in use by someone else, that it was modified on the server and pc and I was asked which version I wanted to keep or it was read only and Office would freeze and crash (I think disabling the Office Document Cache helped as it was like both OneDrive and this were competing for the file to upload it). But today, I figure the vast majority of cameras and camcorders can't handle NTFS, so MicroSD card makers would be insane to preformat them as NTFS.I believe it's you who's failing to understand just how wide the customer base for MicroSD cards may be. MicroSD card manufacturers would be accommodating their customers who just couldn't use their products if initially formatted as NTFS.Perhaps it'd be good for all camera and camcorder manufacturers to support NTFS if MSFT didn't charge any royalties for doing so, and over time those devices would mostly be able to handle NTFS. In reply to wunderbar:The question is how many camera/camcorder users use MicroSD cards? If substantial numbers, say, within an order of magnitude of PC users using those cards, and if camera/camcorder users couldn't reformat MicroSD cards and those devices' firmware could only handle FAT32 or exFAT, then from my perspective it's obvious and simple common sense that MicroSD cards would come formatted as FAT32 or exFAT. And for those who had been using this functionality, its sudden disappearance-the error message above is seen after a reboot-is most unwelcome. ![]() The issue is that Microsoft just suddenly pulled the switch without warning anyone. The problem impacts drives formatted with exFAT and ReFS as well, Neowin reports. And that users have been utilizing FAT32-based microSD cards and other removable storage with OneDrive for years. What’s not clear, of course, is when this support was supposed to have ended. Nothing has changed in terms of official support and all OneDrive folders will continue to need to be located on a drive with the NTFS filesystem.” Image courtesy of Neowin “Microsoft discovered a warning message that should have existed was missing when a user attempted to store their OneDrive folder on a non-NTFS filesystem-which was immediately remedied. “Microsoft OneDrive wants to ensure users have the best possible sync experience on Windows, which is why OneDrive maintains the industry standard of support for NTFS,” a Microsoft statement explains. But here’s the kicker: This should have never worked. Microsoft suddenly disabled OneDrive support for non-NTFS disks this week, wreaking havoc for users with FAT32-based removable drives. ![]()
