Conflict with Windows One Drive
I have two Windows Computers at home. My tower is Windows 11, while my new laptop is Windows 10.
I have two SSD drives on the laptop, an SSD C drive and multiple conventional drives on the tower. After an import on one computer, One drive sucks the Camera Raw images in and when I open up the other computer, One Drive attempts to load the new images. This seems to cause the images to be corrupted on both computers!
I am on holidays and have imported nearly 1000 images on the laptop but although I had built a new catalogue on the second 2TB SSD, One Drive is continuing to import them into "Pictures", which is on C Drive. I can see new files in the old catalogue, even though I am importing into a new catalogue, set up on the D drive.
I lost all the adjustments I had made on the last lot of trip photos and have not yet found the time to do them all over again. I thought I'd solved this problem but it seems not.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Geoff T

Hi Geoff, did you resolve this? I have just signed up to One Drive and it has inadvertently moved my entire desktop, with docs/pictures folders, onto one drive cloud. Capture One no longer recognises the session and will not open the link.

Hi Simon,
Not entirely. I now make sure I store my catalogues and back-up catalogue folders in folders outside the ones One Drive has access to. I do this at work and home, where I have separate Capture One licenses and multiple computers at each site.
I use Capture One at work for focus stacking. It's ability to export hundreds of images as 16-bit TIFFs, using all the power of my computer, is essential for my preferred stacking program, Zerene Stacker. Fast local storage is also essential. These individual images are pretty useless and are eventually deleted.
I have different programs on different computers but even when I have set One Drive to not backup my desktop it seems to default to doing so after Windows updates. So often I click on a screen shortcut and it doesn't work.I have to search for the program in the start menu. Very annoying!
Can you download the catalogue folders to another drive, perhaps as a Zip folder? Then extract them to another drive and open the Capture One Catalogue that way?

Thank you both for your response. I will restore desktop to previous state and try to sync only specific files to one drive.
