Data duplication long threads folders within folders Primarily affects SharePoint OneDrive Onenote - Stem from Users, permissions, Data Junction Redirect
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
There is possibly more than the explanation I will copy below, but whatever the data issue is it is causing very long folder paths and multiple directories of the same data. I believe it may have begun when a tech place FileShare on SharePoint along with OneDrive, DropBox, iCloud etc A mapping of directories need be made such that location of them is confirmed. I have some created by EVERYTHING. Perhaps my research result is in error, but I will still copy it herein.
More HeadsUp: Be aware I have both Office E3 and MS Personal accounts and 2 Asus hard drives, iPhone, multiple external HDs and one has the OneDrive files on it both Biz and Personal (in different partitions)
Do you need more information?
I uploaded 5 files, all KB not MB, but they all failed. I am certain they would be of benefit for you to assess your ability to use your skills in untangling this, so I will try again after contacting support.The files are in OneDrive - SharePoint Perhaps I can share a link instead
PS I was posting other jobs as DataFileManagement and more when realizing that this should precede all other.
Time: When we can get to it. Tell me all of your strengths such that I might find WebDevel WPress, Automation, Content, VA, and other jobs. Thank you in advance
The C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Application Data junction redirects to C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local.
These Junctions have the permissions set to Everyone = Access Denied. They cannot be used as a folder to store any files. There is a reason for this.
This problem occurs when a user changes these permissions in an effort to force access to that junction. Changing the permissions allows any action to 'recursively walk through' the junction and this creates a recursion (Also called an infinite loop) the result of which is what you are describing. The infinite loop will not stop creating Application Data folders until either the API crashes or the path to the last folder created exceeds the file path limit and Explorer crashes.
