I cannot imagine that MS will do this for free in the long term.

Any how best is reading this BOOK: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement

mover archivos en la carpeta OneDrive. Los cambios se efectúan automáticamente en OneDrive y en tus demás
equipos con la aplicación OneDrive instalada.

Bueno, estuve haciendo más pruebas...

* Ya pude copiar a ONEDRIVE el DBF y el NTX que me daban problemas. (DBF con un millón de registros)
* Instalé en otra CPU con WIN7, el ONEDRIVE.
* Copie a ONEDRIVE un programa que consulta dicho archivo.
* Ejecute en ambas computadoras al mismo tiempo la consulta.
* Y aquí el resultado:

Well, I was doing more tests ...

* I could already copy the DBF and the NTX that gave me problems to ONEDRIVE. (DBF with one million records)
* I installed on another CPU with WIN7, the ONEDRIVE.
* Copy to ONEDRIVE a program that queries that file.
* Run the query on both computers at the same time.
* And here the result:

Hi,

This is an interesting and potentially useful thread.

@Andres: many thanks for posting your experience! (keep updating your findings...)

@Serge: Valid concerns. Did you read the 'book'?[*]

[*]Note: it's not a rhetoric question. If you've read it, please tell us, in summary, what is your opinion about it,
because it's really difficult to even try to read (let aside to understand) this abysmal ocean of legalistic nonsense
(intentionally unclear and confusing) which the supposedly cunning lawyers include in such "agreements", "terms of use" etc.


regards,
Pete

No Pete, I didn't. Usual blabla etcetera...? Too complicated!

Hola Andy, que tal las pruebas con la NUBE..?
¿Es posible hacer el servidor en la NUBE?
¿La velocidad de trasmision/respuesta es aceptable...?
Gracias

I already tested this possibility it works as you have your files on your local hard drive no problem compared to file sharing, the only problem is the slowness to open the files because it does not depend on your internet speed but also bandwidth reseved by microsoft to access onedrive.

[serge_girard]

Well, after all it is FREE but slow. So better pay some money if you want speed!
