May 10, 2020 The OneDrive app doesn’t support a case-sensative formated drive. And, looking at Microsoft support pages, the team doesn’t intend to add this support. Well, I’m not inclined to reformat my case-sensative drive. 'Your OneDrive folder can't be created in the location you selected. Try a different location.
Now that you know how to share files, you may well ask, “But how do you work on a shared file?”
When you click the link to open a shared file, the file opens in a browser window, as shown in this illustration. At this point, if you have editing privileges, you can edit the file in an Office application or an Office Online application:
- Office application: Click the Edit button and the first option on the drop-down menu.
- Office Online application: Click the Edit button and choose the second option on the drop-down menu.
What the Edit button is named depends on the type of file you’re dealing with. In the illustration shown here, the file in question is a Word document, so the button is named Edit Document. Meanwhile, the options on the drop-down menu are Edit in Word and Edit in Word Online.
Apple has released a new version of iCloud for Windows 10 in the Microsoft Store, according to a recent blog post by Microsoft and a handful of Apple customer support documents. The new version claims to be a major improvement, with more robust features and more reliable syncing—the latter of those has been a common complaint for users of Apple's previous version.
Features listed by Microsoft include:
- Access your iCloud Drive files directly from File Explorer without using up space on your PC
- Choose the files and folders you want to keep on your PC
- Safely store all your files in iCloud Drive and access them from your iOS device, Mac, and on iCloud.com
- Share any file right from File Explorer and easily collaborate with others—edits will be synced across your devices

Apple's iCloud is a full-featured service for storing files and photos, syncing contacts, and other things, as long as you're working solo and not looking to collaborate. (Dropbox, Google Drive, and other competitors offer much more robust features for teams by far.) But iCloud flies under the radar for a lot of people. Its cross-platform support has been mediocre, which doesn't help, so this new version is a welcome update for users who are dependent on the service, provided it actually addresses users' complaints.
Apple has set up a support page explaining what iCloud for Windows can do and what the requirements are for using it. Basically, you just need to set up iCloud on an Apple device first (an iOS device with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 or later). Once you've done that, it's straightforward.
