Folder moving is not updated

[ukreddy-erwin]

In the onedrive shared folders, I synced a folder called Jenkins.

In that, I synced only the Jenkins/LatestBuilds folder

Today I moved some of the subfolders of Jenkins\LatestBuilds to Jenkins\OldBuilds from Onedrive website in through browser.

And then I synced using the onedrive sync command again.

onedrive --synchronize --verbose --verbose --sync-shared-folders --single-directory Jenkins --confdir ~/.config/onedrive-business

But the folders still there in the LatestBuilds folder of linux machine.

So, I deleted a folder and synced to check.

But it got deleted in the Jenkins\OldBuilds folder this time.

It seems, even though we moved folders to a different folder, the onedrive client still pointing to the same contents

I 100% suspect this is something that you are doing, rather than the client itself. Most likely you are syncing | using client data that is not insync with OneDrive to begin with.

onedrive --synchronize --verbose --verbose --sync-shared-folders --single-directory Jenkins --confdir ~/.config/onedrive-business

Unsure why you are using my prior example - unless you have called your account / config directory as per above.

So lets step through your use case:

1. You have a OneDrive Business Shared Folder called Jenkins. Inside this, there is a folder called LatestBuilds which has some tree structure behind it
2. You have another folder called OldBuilds under Jenkins also
3. You moved Jenkins\LatestBuilds\<random_folder to Jenkins\OldBuilds\<random_folder using the OneDrive WebUI
4. You synced using the client
5. The folder structure on the Linux system did not change
6. You deleted the folders on the Linux system and they were deleted from under Jenkins\OldBuilds\

So as you can see from this example, moving a folder online will move the folder locally on next sync - so the real question comes back to how are you running the client, are you sure you are syncing with the right configuration.
