I have installed FG on my laptop and it all works AFAIK. However, I have a OneDrive folder that I want to use for data. I do this on my desktop and it works fine. When I go into Settings and browse to the OneDrive FG data folder, no campaigns show in the Load Campaign list after FG reloads. What am I missing?

Cheers

Hey El Condoro I dont know what your missing - other than its been posted at least a dozen times that you run the risk of data corruption doing this... live sync drives are not recommended for storing database files. You are best to store it in the default location and zip up a backup to your onedrive when required...

Yes, I understand, but I have been using this method for years now and the convenience is worth the risk - for me. It's not the synch drive that is causing this issue, though. I wish I knew what it is, though.

What about storing it on a NAS?
