The new policy doesn't change anything for most Windows users, but those at the margins will feel hard done by. Similarly, people using Storage Spaces to manage large, redundant storage volumes will often use ReFS. While NTFS is the default file system in Windows, people using SD cards to extend the storage on small laptops and tablets will typically use exFAT. This has left various OneDrive users unhappy. While FAT disks can be converted, ReFS volumes must be reformatted and wiped.
To continue to use the software, files will have to be stored on an NTFS volume. Both older file systems, such as FAT32 and exFAT, and newer ones, such as ReFS, will now provoke an error message when OneDrive starts up. For example, if I set Process Monitor to only show accesses of one specific file, I can see that it's accessing that file every three minutes.An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: OneDrive users around the world have been upset to discover that with its latest update, Microsoft's cloud file syncing and storage system no longer works with anything other than disks formatted with the NTFS file system. If I use Process Monitor to monitor what OneDrive is doing, I can see that it's repeatedly accessing the same files on a loop. Now I can't even open the files which I already had on my PC. A restart did not fix it either.Įven worse, after choosing "Download all", the sync made no progress after downloading just a few MB.įollowing the advice on the OneDrive website, I tried the "Reset OneDrive" thing and now it's been stuck for a day on "OneDrive is updating files - Processing 12,979 changes", often using 30% CPU time but never actually downloading anything. Initially I got the error "OneDrive cannot connect to Windows", which gave me the options "Try again" or "Download all". OneDrive stopped working as soon as I updated to Windows 10 2004.
