I would like to move the OneDrive folder on my laptop to an external drive as specified in the documentation here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/install-onedrive-on-an-external-drive-6307e24b-d7a4-493f-bf43-47345b2c11fe
This states that "If you need to change your OneDrive storage location from your computer to an SD card or other external storage source, you can do so as long as the external drive is non-ejectable. Removable USB drives are not supported."
However, I can find very little information on how to create, or buy, a non-ejectable drive. From what I can see, this needs to be a device that supports the MPT protocol, which means Windows can assume that the device will be able to manage its own storage instead of being a dumb recipient.
But all the commercial USB-connected drives I see on the market are ejectable, because their assumption is that Windows will manage problems of latency, etc.
So what should I do to obtain a non-ejectable drive? Is it simply a question of making a registry or settings change, or does it require a device of particular specifications? Or is it a question of the formatting and storage system on the drive?
There is surprisingly little documentation on this, given that it is specified as a requirement for a feature of One Drive.
I have a second question concerning the OneDrive folder, but I will ask that separately.
All suggestions welcome
Alan
