[SJRA-Members] Microsoft OneDrive WARNING!

Be very careful how you use the OneDrive and if I were you I would strongly
encourage you not to use this to backup your files. It has a way of
horribly screwing up apps like N1MM+ and who knows what else and it seems
that once files from the Documents folder on your main C: drive have been
referenced to the OneDrive you may never be able to disassociate them.

I spent hours on this yesterday in an effort to get N1MM+ and MMTTY to work
to participate in the ARRL RTTY contest. After hours of work I am nowhere
and ended up uninstalling both apps to try and start from scratch and of
course this made things worse because of the documents on the OneDrive that
cannot be deleted, I guess. At this point I have no idea when and if I'll
ever be able to reconstruct N1MM+ on this computer.

My advice: buy a good backup drive and whatever you do don't use the
OneDrive.
