Userscripts folder cannot be OneDrive (greyed out) #645

MS OneDrive is the only app on iOS that allows you to "Make Available Offiline". iCloud Drive files eventually get removed from the device. Frequently, my userscripts for a page won't run because they've been removed. So for now I've been using a folder "On My iPhone" but this is inconvenient because it's not sync'd with my other systems. Everytime I update a script on another systems, I have to manually copy it into the "On My iPhone" folder. If I was able to select the OneDrive folder, I would have a way to keep scripts sync'd across devices and keep them on my iPhone:
Screenshot showing the OneDrive option to "Make Available Offline":
Make Available Offline
Screenshot showing that the OneDrive folder cannot be selected in Userscripts->Set Userscripts Directory
OneDrive folder cannot be selected

I'm hoping there's a simple reason why Userscripts setup cannot select a OneDrive folder and that this could be added.

@BartmanEH BartmanEH changed the title userscipts folder can only be "On My Phone" of iCloud Drive, cannot be OneDrive etc. Userscripts folder cannot be OneDrive (greyed out) Apr 21, 2024

The reason is indeed simple, but it is not something we can solve.
Which is that the third-party file provider does not provide open-in-place supports.

Instead, this extension supports you to open and edit documents in-place from any third-party app.

so how are people synchronizing scripts across platforms? iCloud is useless.
