DirCopy OneDrive Folder is not working

[hendrikhe]

Hello,

I am having issues copying OneDrive Folder.  With the script below, it simple copies nothing. Nothing happens, no error message.

Working with other "normal" folders. Is the OneDrive Folder special?

DirCopy("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive\", "D:\new",1)

Hi.

Helpfile says: source dir = Path of the source directory (with no trailing backslash). e.g. "C:\Path1"

Maybe you have to script:

DirCopy("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive", "D:\new",1)

Thanks for reply. Tried but still same result

Have you attempted adding #RequireAdmin at the top of your script?

[hendrikhe]

Tried that too, same result. Strange is: it does work with the subfolders (even without  #RequireAdmin )

Is OneDrive on C: really a directory or could it be a shortcut?

What is the result if you try this:

ConsoleWrite(FileGetAttrib("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive") & @CRLF)

 

[hendrikhe]

Not sure how to get the output from : 

ConsoleWrite(FileGetAttrib("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive") & @CRLF)

But DirGetSize("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive") got me the correct size of this folder

[Simpel]

Just run the line and look what is written in the console window beneath.

Hello @hendrikhe,

Try this:

$result = DirCopy("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive", "D:\new")

if $result = 1 then msgbox("","OK", "DirCopy function worked")

if $result = 0 then msgbox("","error", "DirCopy function report failure")

$a=DirCopy("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive", "D:\move",1)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Title", $a)

$a=DirGetSize("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive")
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Title", $a)

result DirCopy = 0

result DirGetSize = 967179211

What @Neutro means:

ConsoleWrite(DirCopy("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive", "D:\new",1) & @CRLF)

FileGetAttrib says "RD" in console output. D means directory what is correct. R means read only. My directories normally don't have the attribute read only.

Maybe that's the reason? You are not allowed to copy this directory?

Can you try this:

FileSetAttrib("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive","-R") ; 
ConsoleWrite(FileGetAttrib("C:\Users\Test\OneDrive") & @CRLF)

Is attribute "R" gone then? Can you now copy the directory?

result DirCopy = 0

result DirGetSize = 967179211

Remove the "1" parameter at the end of DirCopy and try again

PS: if everything fail you can use cmd as a workaround:

DirCreate("D:\new")

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'copy "C:\Users\Test\OneDrive" "D:\new" /Y', "", @SW_HIDE)

@Neutro same result

Is the runwait from my last post failing as well?

[hendrikhe]

yes

[Neutro]

Open cmd in windows and try "copy "C:\Users\Test\OneDrive" "D:\new" /Y

See if there are any errors

[hendrikhe]

that worked

[Neutro]

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'copy "C:\Users\Test\OneDrive" "D:\new" /Y', "", @SW_HIDE)

is the exact same thing as running  "copy "C:\Users\Test\OneDrive" "D:\new" /Y on Windows cmd.

If it's working using Windows cmd but not with the AutoIT code, it suggests that AutoIT has a privilege (rights) problem with your script.

If #RequireAdmin doesn't work, try compiling the script with it then right click on the exe and use "run as admin"

PS: you can use 

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'copy "C:\Users\Test\OneDrive" "D:\new" /Y > c:\test.txt', "", @SW_HIDE)

To get the result of the copy command from autoit in c:\test.txt

The copy command is too *heavy* for big files. 

tried with "move" but no result, I also need the subfolders moved

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'move "C:\Users\Test\OneDrive" "D:\new" /Y > c:\test.txt', "", @SW_HIDE)
