Mountain Duck and OneDrive using a non-default folder location

[SGans1]

Hi. I was just testing everything before getting an upgrade to v5, only to realize I have a new problem. OneDrive's requirement to use the startup drive is not useful for me, so I use a folder on an alternate volume, and enable sync using a third party app. When I try to MOUNT OneDrive through MountainDuck, it connects perfectly, but only shows me the folders in the default location on my startup drive. I can't, for the life of me, find any documentation to change the default folder location for MountainDuck to mount my actual OneDrive location.
Note: When I log into OneDrive directly, there are dozens of files and folders, but MountainDuck is only showing me the My Files and Shared folders - the OneDrive APP's syncing folders - and isn't even seeming to connect to the folder set I see online when logging in directly (again, that's synced directly using a third party app - Goodsync).

The mount location of the Integrated mode currently can't be adjusted and is, therefore, limited to the default location on the startup drive. You can currently only change the mount location for the Online and Smart Synchronization modes, but they mount the bookmark as network drives instead of folders.

Concerning the mounted path:
Mountain Duck mounts by default the virtual top-level folders, which allows you to access your personal files and your shared files.

If you only want to see your personal files, set My Files as the path within the corresponding field of your OneDrive bookmark.

Note that you need to remove the local cache before Mountain Duck allows you to change the bookmark if you've mounted it within the Integrated mode. You can do so by opening the bookmark configuration window and changing the connection mode to Online. A message should appear asking if you want to remove the local files from the previous Integrated mount. You can set the connection mode back to Integrated after confirming that you want to remove the local cache. The bookmark fields shouldn't be deactivated anymore afterwards.

Hello. Unfortunately, I’d originally gotten this because it said it would work with OneDrive, and I’d seen mention somewhere of it being a workaround to OneDrive’s limitations on folder location. I tried removing the cache via the method you mentioned, however when I changed to Online, I got no such notification to remove the files, and the fields were again uneditable on before or during the connection. So, I deleted the bookmark and attempted to set it up myself, hoping that starting in Online mode would give me editablility of the referring online field but it auto-populates with the same graph.microsoft.com, and it’s not editable from there. Likely because it didn’t ask me to delete the cache. HOW can I do that manually, so I can try again? Actually, from your response, it didn’t seem clear how to set it to the correct URL and server for my ONLINE files. It still tries to do the same thing it did. Please clarify - that’s not in your documentation. Thanks, Stephanie

THIS IS MY 3RD RESEND OF THIS EMAIL! PLEASE RESPOND! Hello. Unfortunately, I’d originally gotten this because it said it would work with OneDrive. I will be happy to work in Online mode - BUT it will not accept the information there. As I said below - your app is NOT deleting the cache, in the method you describe - so HOW do I delete that cache??? I tried removing the cache via the method you mentioned, however when I changed to Online, I got no such notification to remove the files, and the fields were again uneditable on before or during the connection. So, I deleted the bookmark and attempted to set it up myself, hoping that starting in Online mode would give me editablility of the referring online field but it auto-populates with the same graph.microsoft.com, and it’s not editable from there. Likely because it didn’t ask me to delete the cache. HOW can I do that manually, so I can try again?

It seems to me you did not read the reply above about deleting the cache and changing connect modes. The endpoint to connect to for OneDrive is always graph.microsoft.com and thus not editable.

[SGans1]

No, actually - I absolutely did read it. This line "You can currently only change the mount location for the Online and Smart Synchronization modes, but they mount the bookmark as network drives instead of folders." indicated that there was an exception to the statement, when using Online and Smart Synchronization. Now, you say there isn't.
If not, I DO wish you'd had that in your advertising, as I would never have bought it with the Bundlehunt Bundle. All it said on your website when I decided to buy your app, was that you supported OneDrive - no caveats.

When changing the connect mode to Smart Synchronization or Online the cache location set in Preferences → Sync → Cache is used instead of a Mountain Duck folder in your user home directory for Integrated connect mode.
