Actually .htaccess is a config file for Apache which can be run on Windows and the .jason files are JavaScript Object Notation which can run on any OS.
Yes, they will be used anywhere, but the preceeding dot is a UNIX filesystem designation and hence the problem.

Two things there: one it is a "backup of", not a backup mechanism. Not quite the same. It is only designed to backup "photos, documents, etc" on Windows. Not application with UNIX filesystem names. It's not a system backup, just a storage device that can hold Windows files. If it said that this was a full backup system and could function as a full system and system state backup to restore complete systems, not just your end user files like they are mentioning here, we'd be very different.
The other thing is that OneDrive and ODFB are two different products that might behave differently here.
-
So it is a backup, just a limited backup. I'm cool with that.

@scottalanmiller got ya...but for files that you need to share from developer to developer, and using a product that shares files...this seems to be a mix-match.
Needs a disclaimer: ODfB is good for anyone, except you people who want to share website files.
Now this means I might have to look for another program to duplicate what ODfB is to be used for.
-
I would have this kind of data under version control when it comes to developer access. A ODfB copy is fine for a sort of backup/extra copy, but for developers, I would want version control.
SVN or Git, something.

Yes I agree. SVN and GIT are the right tools for this.
-
Since ODfB doesn't like the web files, I agree I would have to look for a new way to sync with others the latest download of the running website files.
However I am not sure how Git or SVN helps. I will try to find time to Google and see what they are about. I thought it was where code and code snippets are stored versus actual backup of entire website.
-
I have zipped all the files into their folders and am still having the issue. Next step is to move all files out of ODfB and start over.
If I delete from folder does that delete from ODfB, or do I have to go to the web platform and delete files/folders there?
-
@technobabble both ways should work, but when you are having issues, the web should always be the master.
-
@JaredBusch Thanks. I'll report back when I have fixed the issue.

That's correct. A website is just code though. Hence why it works so well.
-
OK, back to the issue I started with.
I went online and all the files that I have deleted are still there and all the new ones I need to sync have not synced.
I am not getting the error anymore, but looking at the icon in the system tray I see I am trying to sync 9,844 files.
I am going to double check but I believe that the ODfB website should have the latest data. Of course since it does not, so I need to delete all the info on the ODfB website and them maybe it will sync again.
I found that @JaredBusch posted 4 months ago with a snyc issue: http://mangolassi.it/topic/1328/onedrive-shrepoint-sync-problems/3

You may be running into the 10k file limit.
-
-
@scottalanmiller yeah I meant 20k.
-
I need clarification.
If I make deletions/changes from my ODfB folder on my computer, it should make the same deletions/changes in the cloud correct?
But if it's all fubared like it is now, fastest way to resync is to delete all data online, since it's old and much has been deleted/changed?
