Hi!
Have somebody experiences with DBF Files saved on OneDrive.
We have a tool that works with dbf. These are saved on a server.
Over network working everything fine. Now i would like to save the dbf at OneDrive. So i can access from a other pc. this pc have no access to the sever.
best regards

Aljoscha,
I don't think that onedrive will allow you to use a DBF that way
You can only save the file or download it, but you can not open it remotely
Maybe you could try it with bitbucket, but I think the same limitation will apply

Antonio is correct .. it is my understanding that any file is encrypted that lives in the Microsoft cloud and probably can not be accessed naitively or directly from the cloud.

Re: dbf at Microsoft OneDrive
I was trying to use a fivewin program of my own on the web by mapping it as a network drive with noooo luck.
Finally (in windows 10) i decide to try to use onedrive without mapping any drive but, simply using
the c:\pathtoLocalOnedrive\myexe.exe
And booom, it works like a charm.
You may also use it without beeing connected to interrnet and then have it in sincro the next time you connect to.
That's all folks.
I think this method is good also for the security, as the sincro, (as i may know), happens in encrypted form.
You see and manage your data locally to have them posted , encrypted through the net.
Hoping this will help.

Thanks for the info
anyhow I think you can not have shared DBFs
and what will happen if different users want to use the app from different locations at the same time ?

To All
I am in the middle of rolling out Office 365 all our Corporate Staff, and that includes One Drive. In my tests One Drive is only able to be visible to other intended users through SharePoint ( web browser ) and is not interactive, meaning you can not map to or manipulate the shared file from any other location other than the source.
One Drive is nothing more than a mechanism ( like dropbox ) to share files and documents and not an interactive portal to manipulate or centralize a functional database.
