OneDrive/Windows 7 Question

I have used Hyper Plan a lot with DropBox across several machines and it works fine.
Hyper Plan locks your plan across the local network while you are editing it (on Windows, there is no reliable way to do this on Mac). If you aren’t editing it, then it checks for updates made by other processes and loads them. In the rare event that 2 machines that are not on the same network edit the same plan without synchronizing, then you may get 2 copies of the plan.
I am less familiar with OneDrive. I assume it is rather similar to DropBox:
-file looks like a local file, but is synchronized between machines by a server
-if the file is changed on 2 different machines without being synchromized, 2 copies are created
If so, it should work fine with Hyper Plan.
Note that Hyper Plan can also work portably, with all its preferences stored in a .ini file, rather than the registry.

I will test Hyper Plan with OneDrive to ensure it works ok. Please also let me know what you find out.

Ken can correct me if I’m wrong, but “regular” Onedrive (i.e. its syncing capability) is not available for him.
One must directly connect through the Onedrive API to access the files stored on the server

I assume your employer is using Microsoft’s enterprise version of Office365, which can include OneDrive. If that’s the case, the way OneDrive works in the enterprise version is going to be different than how it works in the home user’s version of the Office products. You’ll want to check with your IT shop. They can configure what you can do with OneDrive, how much space, types of files, collaborate or not collaborate, etc.
