Sync issues with multiple accounts

Open Irlee opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

I have a personal account and a work account, but now I can't sync them both

Hi Irlee,

Please check your accounts and your personal and work OneDrive settings. OneDrive Bully doesn't alter in any way how the standard MS applications work. It only creates an empty file in the root folder to trigger the sync on demand.

Thanks

Hi ktheod, I mean, how to use OneDrive Bully to sync both personal and work OneDrive at the same time. These two accounts are not in the same root folder. OneDrive Bully help me a lot, Thank you very much.

Hi Irlee, the easiest thing to do to support your case, is to do the following:

  • Locate the folder where you have installed OneDrive Bully.
    • image
  • Create a copy OneDriveBully folder.
  • Run the 2nd OneDriveBully.exe as admin to change the settings.
  • If all is correct you should see the Settings Page as blank
  • Specify the work OneDrive root folder and set the timer, start with Windows etc.

If all is correct, you should have 2 icons on the taskbar tray, and double clicking on each one you will see which OneDrive (personal, work) is triggered.

As a last test, please run the first OneDrive Bully as admin and confirm that the settings are unchanged.

Let me know if that works for you. Thanks,

I tried running the 2nd OneDriveBully, but they didn't work together.

So one drive on desktop can only work on one account as far as I can tell, to get round the limitation, share a folder on the 2nd one drive account with the first onedrive account, share it as a folder. Then simply anything copied to that 2nd folder goes to the other account.
