Hi.
Does Flare support OneDrive?
My company recently mandated we all use OneDrive, and since then, I've had issues building Word and PDF documents. The error often displays "can't find (insert folder/file name here)".
Tips and suggestions welcome.

Re: MadCap Flare with Microsoft OneDrive
Are you able to create backups on OneDrive, rather than working directly on it?
Started as a newbie with Flare 6.1, now using Flare 2023.

Re: MadCap Flare with Microsoft OneDrive
I finally got IT to make Flare work "better" on OneDrive. Unfortunately, the company's new IT policy is that ALL files be on OneDrive.
Mostly, I have to "resync" the TOC information in OneDrive before I build a book.
thanks for replying.

Re: MadCap Flare with Microsoft OneDrive
FYI that MadCap does not recommend storing project files on a network drive, which I'd argue OneDrive is. You will experience performance issues.
Also, a resource whose advice I highly regard recommended that I never keep source-control-bound Flare projects on OneDrive (or in Dropbox or Google Drive and the like). He explained that the versioning provided by source control will conflict with the versioning provided by OneDrive. I add this bit of info just in case you're also using source control.
