I'm sure it's a relatively common issue, as dumping all one's digital entertainment onto network media shares, NAS devices, etc seem to be pretty en vogue these days. I have a feeling I'm out of luck here but wondering if anyone has a figured out a good approach to this. I'd rather not have all my day-to-day office stuff there. However, would this force me to keep all my work files on that external drive too? I'd prefer not to do that as I have kind of designated my external drive exclusively for media, and remote sharing over the home network. I've looked around and it seems like I might be able to select a new location for OneDrive if I re-configure it from scratch. Is there any way to have OneDrive "watch" the music in its current location, like how I might add it to a local library folder? I'm antsy about just moving everything, plus the music wouldn't fit on my main hard drive anyway (it's why I started using an external in the first place). The thing is, my music is all stored on an external USB drive, and I've configured other programs to use this location (Kodi, iTunes, the Groove player itself on a separate laptop). I think you can sync data with one drive or whatever Ms calls their cloud option - that's another issue and not a solution I'd use although plenty here do.Thinking about adding my music to OneDrive, since I just realized I have a ton of space (Office 365 subscription via my job), and the Groove music player would let me stream my collection for free. Using RAID doesn't in any case remove the need for backup either - mirroring makes data loss more unlikely and usually recoverable - not always though !!! and unless you have to have these files available and "in sync" at all times I really don't understand why you would be using the HOME edition of Windows for this anyway. I'm not sure what sort of resiliency you need for data if you are merely using the HOME edition - adequate backup should be more than sufficient. RAID controller cards are reasonably cheap but consumer grade ones aren't the best performers by a long chalk.Īnother solution is simply to go for some sort of NAS server and regularly backup data to it.
Things like Storage spaces (not even sure if they work on HOME edition) are IMO hideously unreliable. The only reliable way to do this in Windows is to get a RAID controller card. Does Windows 10 home have a built in function where you can automatically have the contents of a folder mirrored to another folder on another drive?Hi there
