Idea of better OneDrive Support

I have still the problem the different user handling the onedrive different. And I get a lot of errors at logging

Error Error getting complete file “…” Errorcode: CANNOT_OPEN_FILE (3)

and

Warning “Error reading metadata of …”

My wish is to keep backup onedrive folder

There are currently 2 solutions:

  1. of course the first solution is excluding the onedrive folder
    for example excludeC:\Users\:\OneDrive
  2. deactivate files on-demand at onedrive settings. All files will be downloaded to the PC

Here are another Idea:

  • for onedrive files check Files-Attributestatus
  • if file is local at pc do backup
  • If the file is online-only, keep the file from the last backup of the file and only keep a warning log with the information “Some files are online-only and cannot be backed up. Will keep the last backup of these files.” If some files are online-only and never backed up, also keep a warning log with the information “Some files cannot be backed up because these files are online-only.”
  • if file is gone, delete file from backup

What do you think about this idea?
