ArchiCAD doesn't like OneDrive

When I try to open a file or insert an item from OneDrive ArchiCAD shuts down immediately.

Hi all,
Unfortunately we did not get an answer from Dontknow, so we could not start the investigation in this case.

I think software applications need to be specifically programmed to work with cloud file storage solutions like DropBox, Box or Onedrive. That could be the reason why this is not working.

Hi All,
We contacted Dontknow about the issue and based on the information that he provided, our developers said that this issue has no connection to AC. It is probably a OneDrive/Windows issue.

Unfortunately we could not confirm this with Dontknow

Hi All,
We have talked to Dontknow and apparently all of his/her CAD software (ARCHICAD and AutoCAD) is crashing when trying to open a file from OneDrive so it is probably a Microsoft related problem.
