Hi, I'm using dropbox enterprise in my sch with Win11 and the root folder is something like "ABC dropbox". Then inside is another folder with my name "XYZ TYU".

I tried to run OF thru WSL in windows and it gives error after the decomposePar.

Anyone has a solution? I tried to use symbolic link but it can't work. I tried to change the registry so that dropbox will use a folder with no spaces but also failed.

OF in windows with:

Native Windows : Cross-compiled Windows binaries (mingw).
Provides a quick means of using OpenFOAM on windows, but does not
currently include an OpenFOAM development environment
(ie, cannot compile code, no dynamic code)

This one works but as mentioned, cannot compile code, no dynamic code just is what I need sometimes.

Thanks for reading.
