And while I accept and understand there are some technical issues that apparently only impact Microsoft, I’ve never had any issues with it. If you’re using Windows 8.1, just stick with the built-in sync client. It works great.īut as noted previously, Windows 10 is going back to the old way of doing things and is working off the sync client that Microsoft uses in Windows 7 and 8.0 (and on the Mac). Which means you can’t just browse through your entire OneDrive cloud storage from the Windows shell. Instead, you must manually choose which folders to sync, and only those folders will show up in the shell. If you only use a small amount of OneDrive storage, this may not matter to you. #EXPANDRIVE ALTERNATIVE PORTABLE#īut I’m using over 1 TB of storage, and none of my portable PCs are beefy enough to sync all of my OneDrive. If only there were a way to browse all of your OneDrive storage from any PC, including the folders and files that are not synced locally.Īs it turns out, there is such a solution.
Actually, there are probably several of them. But the one I’m highlighting here has been recommended by a number of readers, and after tooling around with it over the past day or so, I’m starting to like how it works. Like some other third party utilities, Odrive lets you access your entire OneDrive storage from the Windows shell. It uses its own flavor of placeholder files, called CLOUDX files, to indicate files and folders that have not yet synced locally, so you do get that desired Windows 8.1-like view of your OneDrive.
