Hi.
Well, what I have found is unusual and I cannot figure out the logic behind what I have discovered.
It appears that the path length of the folders is connected to the portal not showing on the desktop. And it doesn't appear to be affected as to whether the folder is empty or has files in it.
I've also found that depending on the actual tree, the length of the path will change which affects whether a folder portal will remain.
Example:
Worked (129 characters) "C:\Users\Bob\OneDrive - Graduals Consulting\Visio Education\Ex_Files_Visio_2019_Essential_Training\Exercise Files\Chapter12345678" (This was an empty folder)
Did Not Work (130 characters) "C:\Users\Bob\OneDrive - Graduals Consulting\Visio Education\Ex_Files_Visio_2019_Essential_Training\Exercise Files\Chapter123456789" (This was an empty folder)
And yet another drive/path had different results:
Worked (108 characters) "E:\Users\Bob\Graduals Consulting\gradualsconsulting\Clients\ConcXXXXXX\Project Docs (Internal Use Only)12345" (This was an empty folder)
Did Not Work (109 characters) "E:\Users\Bob\Graduals Consulting\graduals\Clients\ConcXXXXXX\Project Docs (Internal Use Only)123456" (This was an empty folder)
To "test" my theory I created a folder on my HD and then made a portal on the desktop. If it remained after a re-login, I'd change the name and add another character until such time the portal did not remain.
This issues happens on both my main profile and another "clean" profile.
This is driving me nuts!
Thanks
