Keep a Project in your OneDrive

Files in a Project can also sit in your own OneDrive. A change made in either place reaches the other on its own, without anyone sending the file in a conversation.

Connect a folder

  1. Open the Project's OneDrive tab.
  2. Choose Connect OneDrive.
  3. Pick the folder to mirror: the whole Project or one folder inside it.
  4. Choose Start mirroring. Chetty creates the folder in OneDrive for you.

Each person mirrors into their own Microsoft account, never a shared one. The step-by-step version, including what is never copied, is in Connect a Project to OneDrive.

Check and control the mirror

The tab shows the OneDrive folder, the Status, the Last sync, the number of Files and any Conflicts. The Project card repeats a small OneDrive sign with the number of conflicts.

  • Sync now starts a cycle at once.
  • Pause stops the automatic cycles and Resume starts them again.
  • Open in OneDrive opens the folder in your browser.
  • Disconnect stops the syncing and leaves your files in OneDrive.

A mirror pauses itself when the Project is no longer reachable, the chosen folder disappears or your Microsoft account changes. It never switches to another folder or account on its own.

When a file changed in both places

If the same file changed in OneDrive and in the Project before a sync, both versions stay. The file waits under Conflicts until you choose:

  • Use the project version uploads your Project copy over the OneDrive one.
  • Use the OneDrive version puts the OneDrive copy in place.

Neither choice deletes anything for good; the version you did not keep moves into a trash folder inside the Project. The naming of the kept copy and the confirmation for a large deletion are in Resolve conflicts and recover files.

Get a deleted file back

A file deleted in OneDrive moves its Project copy into a trash folder inside the Project, where you can take it back. A file deleted in the Project usually removes its OneDrive copy too.

When many files disappear at once, the mirror waits for your confirmation instead of deleting them in OneDrive. The status then says Waiting for confirmation.
