For now I have kind of given up and accepted it because I don't want to wear out my hard drive freeing up space, only to have it reappear 10 times a day.

It's all or nothing have to be stored on the pc at all times. You can never just work with one photo, or folder of photos. Then, it downloads everything in in the My Photos file onto my pc. It works perfectly well until, the software insists on depositing that aforementioned folder into onedrive (always after their upgrades). Ordinarily, I oculd have a sub-folder with 100 photos in it, click on one photo, and ONLY that one will be made available locally (as is indicated by a green check mark in onedrive). This is accomplished by selecting 'Free Up Space). I try to keep all my photos in the cloud (unsynced locally. I mean, I am not happy with it, because I have to then delete it from light room (after I have exported copies with the metadata embedded). This is working okay (because when I am done working on the photos I move them off the hard drive. My workaround was to move photos I am working on to a local folder that does not get backed up to the cloud. This might be an interesting solutin but I am not sure I completely understand. The final step was to swap out the official windows library 'Documents' folder with the one that I actually use under QuickAccess in the navigation pane.įrom what I can tell you're not losing anything by having, using and syncing a seperate documents folder from the official windows library folder, other than when Applications use the Documents folder to save preferences. The official windows 'Library' version of the Documents folder then reverted back to its old, now blank, location C:Users/Me/Documents but all my actual Document files stayed within the E:OneDrive/Documents folder.įrom there, when I loaded Premiere, it created a new Preferences folder inside C:Users/Me/Documents, which was no longer being managed by OneDrive, meanwhile, my folder E/OneDrive/Documents still contains the rest of my documents files, and is still being synced with OneDrive.

To get around this, I went to OneDrive settings, then to 'Back Up' then hit 'Stop backup' on Documents. I'd moved my 'Documents' Library to be inside OneDrive E:/OneDrive/Documents and everytime I'd use Premiere, I'd get issues with OneDrive syncing duplicates of preferences etc, and that in turn causing lag in Premiere. You can't change the preference file locations:įor the people specifically having an issue with the Adobe folder in 'Documents' causing issues with OneDrive where your 'Documents' folder is synced as part of a OneDrive Backup, I found a *sort of* work around for this.
