I have researched this and I only found one documented instance of Rack having a problem and it being fixed by removing OneDrive and it was questionable at best. The user claimed OneDrive was affecting his system in a manner that I question. The claim was that OneDrive was changing paths to his documents folder on its own. If this was happening, which I doubt, it would have had other major effects on his system causing far more problems than just Rack. No one else reported anything like that.
Other than that, there were several people who said OneDrive is bad without any supporting facts at all.
Just because someone says something and other people repeat it does not make it true. After reading all of the search results I think I found the original source of this rumor. People should stop spreading unsubstantiated information like this; it is not helpful and leads people to doing unnecessary work.
Yes, that is the only documented instance that I found and I seriously doubt it. As I said if that was happening his whole system would be really screwed up and he would have far more problems than Rack. Given the number of people using OneDrive successfully I think it’s somewhat irresponsible to assume that OneDrive is flawed and causes serious problems to Rack.
stop being an idiot, please. No one has said there is anything wrong with your precious one drive. People are saying that VCV does not like to have it’s autosave folder in a one drive folder. You are free to disagree and forever be unable to use VCV. totally fine. totally your choice.
I’m sorry you think that trying to get to the truth about something makes me an idiot. I fail to see how disagreeing with people spreading false information makes me an idiot here and somehow makes me unable to use VCV. The idiots are people that buy into something based on no evidence at all and then spread that false information confusing the issue. Do you always attack someone for being interested in finding the truth and who happens to disagree with you? Grow up “precious OneDrive” LOL
Hilarious. This person comes on this thread, directly attacks me for no reason and then when I defend myself blocks me. Very mature. Doesn’t matter since he was contributing nothing of any value to the thread except unverified innuendos. See ya kid.
Here is one situation where onedrive causes problems for users, in a scenario very much like Rack plugins. Let me know how many examples you want. But I would turn to technical logic as well: When you have a program, like Rack or many others, that needs ownership of files for their integrity, it’s a bad idea to at the same time have a service that also assumes ownership of those files, and can lock them and read and write them.
Have you at least tried disabling one drive. I‘m one of the undocumented cases where VCV worked fine after disabling one drive. @Squinky, @LarsBjerregaard and me have been on the forums for some time and have seen numerous questions about VCV not running. And numerous times one drive was the problem.
I did try disabling OneDrive and it made no difference. I solved the problem. I’m sorry but there are not “numerous” times OneDrive was the problem, at least not documented in any way. In fact, doing a search on this forum and on google I can find only 1 documented instance where the user claims OneDrive was interfering and the effect that was attributed to OneDrive seems very unlikely at best and if true his whole system would be basically unusable.
I have been using Rack since version 0.5 and using it on OneDrive the whole time. No problems related to that. I have been on this forum since it was created. If you want to believe that OneDrive is causing problems that’s your right. However, IMHO for people on this forum to point the finger at any piece of software saying it is bad and causing problems without any real evidence at all is irresponsible and can lead people to avoid using what can be a useful program. The fact that a lot of people say something doesn’t make it true. I was only interested in actual facts not rumors.
But I think I’ll unsubscribe from this topic, since it seems you’ve decided that OneDrive (or Dropbox og Google drive) cannot be a problem, and thus you’re not open to evidence.
Suit yourself. In the example you provided OneDrive was disabled. The user was attempting to use to but was not signed in and surprise, it didn’t work.
What would you expect to happen? All I have said is that if a user is using a properly configured system there does not appear to be any problems, at least none of them have been documented. NONE. At the minimum it is not always a problem as some people seem to think. I am just interested in the facts and the truth. For that I’m attacked and called an idiot. I’m sorry that some of you consider that to be so horrible. Sorry kids, the truth and facts do matter to some people
I have not decided anything, I am just interested in the truth and there is not any evidence to support OneDrive always being a problem. You are the one not open to realizing that you are blaming a piece of software for problems when there is no actual evidence to support that. You have your mind made up and to hell with the facts. That is your prerogative.
As long as disagreements remain civil and respectful, I think it is healthy to discuss these things. Along these lines is the admonishment “Never use anti-virus software with Rack”. I have always used Malware Bytes (along with MS Defender) with Rack and have never had any problem with that. I feel much safer running AV software.
