Trados Studio continuously encounters issues when handling files within the Microsoft OneDrive synchronized folders.

jack zhong

Trados Studio continuously encounters issues when handling files within the Microsoft OneDrive synchronized folders.

I am a Microsoft 365 user and use OneDrive to synchronize some important data folders on my computer in real-time, including translation project templates, translation memory, and translation termbases. I have also selected the option to "Always keep on this device" for these folders.

However, whenever Trados Studio processes translation projects using files from the OneDrive directory, I still loads these translation memories and termbases from the computer's hard drive. As a result, the terminology functionality in Trados Studio does not work properly and fails to recognize terms correctly.

Is there a solution to this problem? It would be preferable if the real-time synchronization feature of Microsoft OneDrive could continue to function, as OneDrive provides reliable real-time backup for data. Could you please increase the compatibility between Trados Studio and Microsoft OneDrive for real-time synchronization?

    Many users complain about such problems. This is not the problem of Studio, but it comes from OneDrive. This folder is being synchronized via Internet and depending on your connection speed there is always some delay between the saving in Studio and the synchronization itself. Working with live synchronized folders is in my opinion a very bad idea, as it will cause problems like file duplication and others. Studio is a local program and should be used locally. In order to have data backup, you can use many solutions. In my case this is NAS, which works perfectly since over 13 years now. All my working files are stored on NAS, only TMs and TBs are stored on a local SSD for speed. The data from the NAS is backuped on a second NAS in live modus and on another NAS on a daily basis. This said, you can also use and cloud to backup data, but not using this for work. In order to do so, use a synchronization software (like GoodSync) to synchronize your data with the live folder of your cloud on hourly basis or on any schedule you wish.
