How to generate a direct download link from the shared OneDrive link
Dear Experts and Supporters I'm a developer working on an issue related to downloading files from OneDrive. Everything was running fine until a few days ago when I reopened my app Here are my lines // shared OneDrive link example // https://1drv.ms/u/s!Atj71Lw5QEdsrQnTRHMj-fjGc49N?e=hOB5gO if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(sharingURL)) return string.Empty; var base64Value = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sharingURL)); var encodedUrl = "u!" + base64Value.TrimEnd('=').Replace('/', '_').Replace('+', '-'); var directlyUrl = $"https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/{encodedUrl}/root/content"; And now when I cannot download from OneDrive, I have debugged and realized that there was a 401 Unauthorized exception But the file has been shared for Everyone with Edit permissions. I thought Microsoft had changed something about the shared link recently and the current way to get the direct download link as it is now is not possible. The shared link I see it's longer than before and different in format (no s!, no ?e=) So please kindly help me to solve this case. Thanks in advance!

In browser instead of showing my files, one drive just gives a message "Item Disabled Due To User Content Migration". My files are still on my device however this device won't sync to Onedrive, it just endlessly gives "signing in" .new update unlicensed Onedrive account
Next year end of januri there will be an update about Onedrive unlicensed account. They will be archived etc.. My question is, how will this affected by this scenario. A user is leaving the company and the license will be removed, his mailbox wil be transferred to a shared mailbox. User account wil be disabled. Is the policy after 93 days still in place and will the account been archived after this period? Pleae let me know.
"UPLOAD BLOCKED We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions
In word or excel I get an error saying "UPLOAD BLOCKED We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions to upload the file." and "The permissions on this file were updated and you no longer have the rights to view this file. If you previously made changes to this file, they may not be saved." These are my files that I created in my programs, save in my OneDrive. Why can't I use my files?! The discussions in this forum are no longer relevant to help with this problem. There is no "office tab" when you click on the OneDrive icon and select settings. The only discussion from 2023 is for a Mac OS. I am using Windows 11.Onedrive and Prevent access to drives policy
I am working with clients that have enabled a group policy "Prevent access to drives from My Computer" as part of their security hardening process. This prevents them from accessing their OneDrive folder. The following article describes a workaround, but it results in a less secure setup. https://james-rankin.com/videos/using-onedrive-sync-client-with-c-drive-restrictions-and-a-bunch-of-handy-security-tips-too/ Has anyone solved this issue in the 4 years since this article? I've posted a suggestion to the OneDrive Feedback portal - https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/fd351968-79b0-ef11-95f5-6045bdbc7c39
OneDrive acting strange
I have a Business OneDrive on an External Drive but on my PC I have 2 links to it, one on the Desktop that has all the folders but it does link to the external Drive & one on my PC further down in Explorer which also links to the External Drive. But when I save a file it doesn't show in both of the places for the External Drive Both of these have the same amount of folders in them. Why when I save a file irrespective of which place the folders are, do they not mirror in the other folders area, as they are both linked to the External Drive. Plus OneDrive from my Task Bar isn't saving the files to the Cloud. I want to save them locally to the External Drive but also want them to upload to the Cloud & it isn't doing that. Space isn't the issue for either the Cloud or the External Drive. Can anyone give me some help please? Thank you! ☺️
Have 1TB available but OneDrive wont upload and says "Not enough cloud storage"
I bought Office365 today and I have only 3gb on my account used out of over 1TB of space however when I try to sync it just says "Not enough cloud storage" "you don't have enough space for this file". This is very frustrating. I check my settings, I emptied my trash, I re-linked the account. None of it worked. I went through the Troubleshooting machine and did all the steps and nothing helped. I did get an error saying one drive could not be restarted. Anybody have any suggestions? Very frustrating to spend money and have this happen.
Public Storage Best Practice
Hi, I have a tenant of 15 Office 365 users with varied licenses and have a need to share files like email signatures, sales brochures and product images. No downloads, no uploads, read only. We also use Power Platform heavily and a Sharepoint site that is for internal use only. Looks like One Drive is the best solution but Im not sure how to set up. Does it need to be set up under a user? Or can I just have some generic non user specific setup? Or would a Sharepoint Document Library be a better approach? Any other thoughts, ideas are also greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Todd
File handler configuration does not update
Hi team, We recently had an integration with Microsoft file handler. During the deployment of the application, we encountered some issues, so we updated the file handler configuration via the manifest file. Some users who installed our application still see the old file handler configuration and are experiencing problems because of it. They want to either update it to the latest configuration or remove it completely so they can continue their work normally. We did try to guide them to reset the file handler cache as in: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/file-handlers/reset-cache?view=odsp-graph-online But seems like only some of them got the updated config, while the rest keep getting the old one, even after 1-2 weeks. Do you have any advice on how to completely resolve this issue?How to Migrate Files from Dropbox to OneDrive While Maintaining Folder Structure
I have a corporate Dropbox account where each folder is named after a specific deal from my database. Inside each deal folder, there are subfolders representing the different stages of the deal as it progresses through the database. Recently, I set up a Microsoft 365 business account and recreated the same folder structure in OneDrive. This means I have the deal folders with their corresponding names, and within each deal folder, I’ve already created the stage-based subfolders. What I want to achieve is to migrate all the files from Dropbox to their respective folders in OneDrive. Example: In Dropbox, I have a folder named "Company1" that contains subfolders like "Emails," "Attachments," and "Presentations." Each of these subfolders contains files. In OneDrive, I’ve already created the "Company1" folder with the same subfolders: "Emails," "Attachments," and "Presentations." I need to transfer the files from Dropbox so that files from "Emails" in Dropbox go into "Emails" in OneDrive under the "Company1" folder, and so on for the other subfolders. Request: I'm looking for the best method to perform this migration while ensuring that the folder structure and file placement remain intact. Is there a native method within Microsoft 365 to accomplish this, or do you know of any third-party applications that can handle this type of migration efficiently? Any advice or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated!Feature request: add pip mode on iOS app
I hope I'm writing in the right place, I couldn't find any other modes: I would like to report the lack of pip mode in viewing videos on OneDrive on iOS It would be very useful to be able to multitask open other apps while watching a video but, sending the works the video pauses. I hope someone knowledgeable reads this. Thanks!Move synced libraries to another PC
Hello guys, I just wanted to find out if there is a way to resync and remap already synced SharePoint libraries to new computer? The same thing that this person has asked 2 years agoAutomatically sync SharePoint libraries on new PC from previous one - Microsoft Tech Community Is there information if this is being worked on, whether it is or will be possible etc.? Any information would be much appreciated Thank you.I lose Sharepoint sync
We have all company files shared in SharePoint and synced with OneDrive. Lately it has happened to us that some users, not all, suddenly have the synchronization fail, all at the same time, with a Onedrive notification appearing on the desktop saying "Folder was deleted. Folder will stop synchronizing. A copy of these files will be left on the PC". If the user doesn't realize it, they are still working on the files, but they are not syncing to SharePoint. Why could this be happening?
