how to show OneDrive same as Windows Explorer?

trading10 · Post by **trading10** » 16 Jul 2019 01:03

I prefer how Windows Explorer shows my OneDrive as it's own separate folder at the top of the tree as shown in the attached screenshot without having to drill down into my C drive or User folder in the tree. When XYplorer does this, it expands the C drive in the tree, which displays a list of folders that spans two pages long. I do not want that because it is far too cluttered to see. Can XYplorer be configured to do what I want?

This feature seems simple enough to do since it has already been available in Windows Explorer for many years, but I have not figured out how to configure XYplorer to do the same. Sadly, since I access my OneDrive folders regularly, this feature is important and really diminishes the value of XYplorer for me.

I've scoured this forum, but have not found the answer. If you know how to do this, please share your findings. I'm hoping this doesn't require tedious scripting or registry hacks.

Thank you.

I have the same request as trading10.

There has to be a simple way to get OneDrive to show up under This PC.
Google Drive works. Why not OneDrive?
There is a tool that will make OneDrive show up as it's own drive letter, but I have used all my drive letters and would prefer not to do that. If possible.

Can you show a screenshot of the Google Drive integration into the tree of XY?
I don't use it but I'm not aware of any native implementation of any cloud provider.

What you could do atm: Go to the parent of your OneDrive folder (normally just %USERPROFILE%) and drag and drop the folder "OneDrive" onto the "Links" folder in the tree.

Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List | [x] Show Links folder
must be ticked to be able to do this.

It's not directly under "This PC" but at least not that far away...

A general solution for this is planned (for a long time now

): User-Defined Folder Mappings (UDFM). This will let you decide which folders have their own top node in the tree.

Hi Mr. Admin,
Could you please inform if there is a prediction of when the green OneDrive icon, similar to the Microsoft File Manager, can be seen?

I remember that this feature worked on XYPlorer a few years ago, but with the updates, I can no longer display the green icon.
Thanks.

Where is the OneDrive folder???
I just now paid $79 for life time subscription of XYplorer, but it's pretty WORTHLESS if it won't access OneDrive.

It is displayed under the username folder.

How to display the green mark that indicates the file connected with "Microsoft OneDrive service" please?

This facility worked in previous versions. But, now it doesn't show anymore.

Thank you.

Try to tick this: Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Show icon overlays

This facility worked in previous versions.

Which version was that for example?

Are you sure I need to remember a previous version for you to provide the necessary support?
In any case, I ask you to consult the messages, in the year 2016, where you already gave this technical directive and at the time it worked.

Thank you again.

You asked a question. Which I understood as unnecessary, because to solve the problem, such an answer would not be necessary.
And if I didn't remember the answer, wouldn't I get support?
I answered technically, giving the link when it happened.
And you say "Not helpful".
If the answer with the link that accurately answers your question "not helpful", what could help answer your question?
But unfortunately, as an answer it seems to me that you make an intimidation.

And I keep wondering, is this the most technical and ethical way you can for a technical problem that's been around since 2016?
