She reported that yes, IS has blocked the installation of the consumer OneDrive client because everyone must use ODfB now that the company has completed the switch to Office 365. My suspicions were confirmed when I asked our on-site IT support lady to please look into it for me, as I did not want to have to deal with our off-site support again (in the Philippines).

Of course, it didn’t install on my new one either. I decided to wait until my new one arrived. I then attempted to go back to normal OneDrive, but it was no longer working on my work laptop. In my last rant, I stated that I was giving up on ODfB, at least until Microsoft sorts itself out. Yesterday, they announced the preview version of their next-gen sync client, which basically means the ODfB client has now been integrated into the consumer OneDrive client. What does that have to do with those few users who had 75TB?

What I don’t understand about this whole mess is reducing the amount of free storage from 15GB to 5GB. Instead, those subscriptions will include 1 TB of OneDrive storage.Īll the more reason now to roll my own cloud, and maybe, finally, set up my own VPS somewhere. Office 365 Home, Personal, and University subscribers will no longer be offered unlimited storage. Those rough plans are clearly out of the window now. I’d achieve this by running SyncToy as a scheduled task on their devices, or using FreeFileSync to write their backup files to my server, which uses a local Windows account linked to my OneDrive. One of my strategies was going to be to use my 10TB of OneDrive storage as remote backup for all the devices that my family owns. One of those tasks is to sort out my home network. Since my exams are finished, I’ve been going through my to-do list and preparing for the various tasks I have up ahead. Yesterday, Microsoft did something weird.

After thinking I only had to rant about OneDrive for Business, it saddens me to have to rant about OneDrive as well.
