Not able to list directories from Onedrive
I have had working Cloud services (Google Drive and OneDrive) on my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus running 6.10.10 for a very long time. This time I wanted to add a session for the OneDrive service. This f...
I can show all Onedrive folders, I just can't select them for backup as you use to be able to do.
The solution I have found to that is to create a symbolic link to the folder you want to back up and put it in the OneDrive folder, or a folder you created therein. Take a look at this post: Using-OneDrive-for-NAS-backup-now-that-it-s-broken-on-the-Readynas . While I specifically talk about linking to shares on a NAS, the same process works for local folders.
You can also use any external backup/sync program with the target in the OneDrive folder.
Oh no. This is terrible to hear. I've had these authorisation issues with the onedrive integration on Readynas before but it's extremely infrequent and although it involved having to recreate each session, it would always work. Now it is clearly broken ,presumably Microsoft trying to stop us from easily using the storage.
I am reliant on it as my cloud /offsite backup so I am trying to find an alternative method to recreate this without spending money. If anyone has a clean solution, please post it. I have looked at Sandshark's workaround, not really what I'm looking for.
Anyone know if this is affecting users of other NAS ?

I can't comment on other NAS being impacted, but granted it also fails on Wasabi, our NAS appears to be the common factor.
OK.
I've just used the link shell extension symbolic links process described by Sandshark, but I've not bothered with the creation of users etc, I've just created symbolic links for each share in a NASbackup folder into the Onedrive folder on my PC.
It's not ideal because it needs one particular PC to be on to do the sync, although I suspect I could use LSE to create links on other PCs but this then gets messy/complex/beyond my capability.
- Microsoft is guilty of many things, but not this issue. This is 100% a problem on the Netgear side. No doubt something was changed to improve security on the directory listing call. Netgear needs to issue a Firmware update but that will not happen, They are gone from this business. I know some have held out in the hope they would release the source so that the community could keep things maintained. That's not happened by now, so it won't.
I've solved the problem anyhow. Moved to a Synology. Netgear is dead to me for any of their products, not just NAS.- Yes I’d also like to move to synology but waiting for update to their line of NAS, many of them are quite old.
