OneDrive Crashing in Windows 10
Deozaan:
Junction Point, perhaps?
I, too, experienced problems with Dropbox and Junctions in the past:
I just tested out using Junctions to point "My Dropbox\Games\Diablo II\save" to "Games\Diablo II\save" and it appears to be working properly as far as the fact that it's the same folder and same files, unfortunately it doesn't work at all with regard to Dropbox recognizing the files are changing and synchronizing to the cloud or to other computers.
Has anyone else successfully gotten something like this to work with Dropbox?

Like Stoic Joker, I finally gave up on that.

NTFS has many advantages over FAT32, however, if you plan to use the card in different devices, FAT32 would be smarter to use, because it is the most widely supported file system, no matter the operating system that any of your devices is using.-Shades (October 14, 2016, 08:09 AM)

The biggest problem with FAT32 these days is the 4GB filesize limit. Or is it 2GB? Either way, it's just too small.

Ah... duh! ;D I didn't actually use a Junction, I used a Symbolic Link- I mis-stated myself above.
i.e. mklink /d c:\users\username\folder1 d:\folder1
A really good document on the differences: http://www.2brightsparks.com/resources/articles/NTFS-Hard-Links-Junctions-and-Symbolic-Links.pdf
