Experience with Onedrive creating duplicates
Just wanted to know if you guys have already some experience with Onedrive?
I have noticed that Onedrive created some duplicates in the Capture One folder that lies in My Pictures userfolder which is synchronized with Onedrive.
My guess is that when Capture One is opening them Onedrive detects changes and want to sync them but since they're open they're locked, or that Onedrive doesn't know which are the newer and older files and keeps them both.
It puts then my Computer name behind these files. In the beginning i just deleted those but they keep re-appearing.
So I'm thinking about moving the CaptureOne folder to another location and manual backup or using the internal backup function (Haven't experimented with that one yet)
What are you guys doing or is there a best practice to read about somewhere?
Thanks

I'm not as trusting as you are, I wouldn't let Onedrive play with my original files, I use it only for backups. I'll keep my main photo folder locally on my HDD and when it's time to backup I copy the files to my Onedrive folder for upload. This way if Onedrive decides to delete the wrong items I'll still have access to the photos. When I need to update a folder on Onedrive I usually change the name of the existing folder in Onedrive to include the word "old" and when I successfully have both old and new folder's uploaded on Onedrive I'll delete the old one, this way I don't leave any decisions to Onedrive. It sounds like overkill but I just don't trust Microsoft's products and have been screwed many times by their mistakes/oversights. 0 -
I know what you mean, and you're absolutely right not to trust any product not just from Microsoft, basically from every modern company until tested out.
No worries, i also keep everything on the HDD and do a manual backup. So even if Onedrive messes up, i can just revert to the local backup and overwrite everything.
But I'm not necessarily speaking from the Originals, it's more the files that CaptureOne generates. I think they are some database caching files, filetype is: .cop and .cof
Although i also saw duplicates from the originals - after deleting them they never occured again, i believe it happened when i imported them to CaptureOne and at the same time Onedrive wanted to upload them.
Anyway have now moved the CaptureOne database folder to another location.
Since I have a Express version, i couldn't move or create a new catalogue.
Have found this out by accident, (CaptureOne crashed). 😊...yes sometimes it's useful...
So for someone who want to do the same:
Note:
I have the FujiExpress Version and i didn't tested it completely since i created a new catalogue in one of the last steps below.
Plus there might be another (better) way which i haven't found..I'm listening for suggestions..
Close Capture One
Copy the complete folder: CaptureOne (with your catalogue in it and 3 other folders) to the desired location.
Start CaptureOne
Open Task Manager and end the process CaptureOne.exe
Start up CaptureOne and it will ask you to create a new catalogue or to locate your old one.
Select the new location.
If everything is alright you can remove the CaptureOne folder from the original location.0
