What is the best way to integrate OneDrive in XYplorer ?

Post by Christophe »

Hi, what is the best way to integrate OneDrive in XYplorer ?
I am currently missing 2 important things to be able to work with OneDrive files:

A/ In XYplorer, there is no OneDrive entry at the root of the tree to directly access OneDrive files:

-> I have tried to "fix" this by creating adding a link OneDrive in 'Links/', but it is not solving anything, since after you click it, you still have this huge piles of folders showing on top of OneDrive

B/ In XYplorer, OneDrive files have no status to know if they are local/online/updated :

I am planning to move from Total Commander to XYplorer but I am not able to do that because of the 2 missing OneDrive points. Like many Windows users, OneDrive is my main file storage location.

I am surprised by this situation, as in Total Commander, these 2 points are fully present and comes out of the box :
A/ There is a OneDrive access at the root of the tree in Total Commander :

B/ Files have a OneDrive status overlay icon in Total Commander :

B) Tick Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Show icon overlays

When I select it, only OneDrive personal shows up, not OneDrive for Business.
This feature is not working with OneDrive for Business, which is very popular too.
How can we get the OneDrive blue cloud icon on it to help understand what it is:

Even with it selected (and even with the 2 sub-items selected as well) it is not working: no icon overlays are being displayed.

Just a polite word of advice ... you should never ask a developer when something will be ready. It will be ready when it's ready. Your issue is not the only thng Don is working on. It might be a quick and simple fix, or it might involve troubleshooting and take some time.

There are thousands of developers who are asked when this and this feature will be ready. If you do not have this constraint lucky you :)
But I agree it is not a questions people like to get and it is not easy. At the same time, it is useful for the end users to know if they can wait or have to look for another solutions.

It's probably not easy to phrase it in a better way, but:

"Is feature X high or rather low on your priority list?"

That's probably a better way to phrase such questions...
