Is Ondrive limited by space available on C: drive?

WPCentral Question

I'm an Office365 subscriber with 1TB Ondrive storage. After moving 60GB to Ondrive, I get a popup saying I'm out of space if I try to move more folders. Answer Desk told me OnDrive is limited to the available storage space left on my C: drive. Has anybody experienced this? Is there a work-around?

There is OneDrive in the cloud... But also a OneDrive folder on your computer. Obviously the folder on your computer (which autosyncs to <> from the cloud) cannot be larger than the space remaining on C:/

Have a look at these threads:

Map the cloud as a network drive... Now you read the cloud without a browser. It shows in file explorer. You will have to sign into it every boot up.

This gave me the clue that I could simply do away with the OneDrive on my computer (C:/) by "Unlinking" the folder and emptying it out.


Combining these allows you access from your desktop without cluttering C:/

You would have to migrate documents to <> from your desktop and cloud manually.
