    Can I configure OneDrive on a virtual private server VPS BEFORE turning it on?


    I have a Microsoft 365 subscription so I have 1TB OneDrive storage with ~600GB used.I have a VPS that I use for system development and other tasks. I would REALLY like to have it sync to and from OneDrive.My issue is, as SOON AS I activate the OneDrive app, it IMMEDIATELY starts downloading the entire contents of my OneDrive, creating unwanted folders and files. It does not give me the chance to configure the OneDrive settings i.e. which folders I wish to sync. This would quickly consume all available disk space on the VPS. As far as I know, I can't go into the OneDrive settings before the

  2. Are there any FREE online virtual PC's

    I think what you looking for is a Virtual Private Server (VPS) and no there are is no completly free service for a VPS because it is to expensive. Service providers can give you free e-mai, social media or site hosting they can keep this by showing some ads from time to time and thus they get some money.

    But a free VPS is another story. At least I belive so. A free VPS would mean that a computer that costs maybe U$ 1500 would have to be available just for a couple of people (let's say it can run 3 virtual machines at a time)

    The best you can get is a trial (with limited time or other limitations) here is a list of some free trial versions of free VPS and an interesting link with explanations about why VPS can't be free:

    Fun games on private servers?

    I'm watching a friend play WoW on a private server right now and it seems decently fun. What other games or MMOs are amusing to play on private servers that change the gameplay sometimes? I wanted to try FFXI but apparently there aren't any or they're rare. Any suggestions?
