(looking at you, Spotify/Dropbox/MeetingTools/etc) to enable users to circumvent the lack of administrative rights. Installing Software into the users APPDATA Profile directory is nothing else than a bad habit by some dumb software developers It has so many disadvantages, I don't even know where to start. I do not see any kind of advantage using the APPDATA approach. Taking a look at the Installation process of the Onedrive NG Sync Client, it installs itself into the User Profiles APPDATA Directory like any usual trojan/virus does, instead of the usual %PROGRAMFILES% Directory. Of software is administratively installed at c:\Program Files, and the user may execute binary files from there because of the whitelisting. For obvious security reasons (Crypto trojans) we have Software Restriction Policies in use, and whitelisted %PROGRAMFILES% on our clients. We are currently planning our deployment of the OneDrive Next Generation Sync client.
