What’s the point of OneDrive? Why can’t it be a flexible as DropBox?
I really want to take advantage of the 1Tb upgrade that’s coming.
With drop box I down load an app in windows, iOS, OS whatever and I get a folder that is common to all machines. I upload or change and all users with permissions get notification.
I do the same with OneDrive and all it does is put a shortcut on my machine to folded created on my local HHD. Whats the point in that, it’s supposed to be a remote cloud drive, isn’t it?
OneDrive, I now discover, requires be to fart around with all the above.
The browser access to OneDrive shows my PCs but thats not a backup it’s a network. as soon as the PC closes or looses connection it disappears.
I just don’t get it?
