Synchronization OneDrive
The following article describes how the synchronization of OneDrive with buildagil on Windows and macOS can be established and disconnected again.
It is recommended to connect projects to OneDrive only if the authoring system, especially CAD's, requires multiple files to read and save or if exports from these systems are to be executed directly to buildagil.
In all other cases, files should always be uploaded directly to buildagil and opened using the Open in app role.
