I uploaded all my music to OneDrive and now MM shows duplicates of every song

[The Original G Man]

I recently uploaded all of my files, including all of my music, to Microsoft OneDrive and now Media Monkey shows duplicates of each song, one on my desktop and one in OneDrive. How do I have MM just show the music on my desktop?

How did you upload to OneDrive? Did you use MediaMonkey Cloud Sync for that?

[The Original G Man]

No. I have all of my music in a shared folder called "Public Music" and uploaded that directly to OneDrive

[Lowlander]

That explains the duplicates. When you Sync from MediaMonkey this won't happen.

That worked! Thanks, Lowlander!

Lowlander ... new issue has popped up on this. Everytime I open MediaMonkey it starts to download all of my music from OneDrive. I get a popup that allows me to "Cancel" or "Block the app." I've tried both to no avail. Any idea how I can get this to stop happening?

[Lowlander]

Is it MediaMonkey or the OneDrive App itself doing the downloading?

I don't know. This is the pop up I get when I open MediaMonkey:



I've tried following that path in both OneDrive and MediaMonkey to no avail.

There seems to be no such exact setting in the OneDrive settings. However there is Sync and Backup, lower on the page Advanced settings > Files On-Demand. It seems selecting Free up disk space keeps files on-line only instead of downloading them when accessed.

Image you sent is from One drive application not MM Plugin, I would suggest that you exclude One drive Auto Sync or Ignore One Drive folder on PC. You can't scan local files (from one drive to PC plugin) and also sync same files with MM5 you get doubles.

It is easier not to scan that folder into MM5 Library eg. make OneDrive sync folder (for System app) outside MM scanning range.

you can follow these steps:

Open MediaMonkey on your desktop.
Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Options."
In the Options window, navigate to the "Library" tab.
Under the "Location" section, you'll see a list of folders that MediaMonkey is monitoring for music files.
Locate the folder that contains your music on your desktop. This is typically the default folder where MediaMonkey scans for music during installation, but you can add additional folders if needed.
Remove the checkmark next to the folder representing your Microsoft OneDrive location to exclude it from MediaMonkey's library. This will prevent MediaMonkey from scanning and displaying those files.
Click "OK" to save the changes and close the Options window.
