Is it possible to restore a folder to a previous state?
Is there a way to restore a folder to its previous state? For example its state as at one week ago? I see this is possible for individual files, but not for folders. (Maybe the solution is to delete the folder and then look for a version in the onedrive recycle bin - will this work?)
Request to Update Onedrive Mass File Deletion Prompt
Hello, Onedrive ran out of cloud storage space for this person. It then popped up a prompt to delete several thousand files, with zero background information. Are these files simply older versions of files in the Onedrive cloud? Are they local files on the C drive? This is a pretty loaded question to ask a person without providing any background information. This information would ideally be provided in an accurate summary format, IE: "to free up cloud storage space, Onedrive recommends deleting these older version files, all of which will still have a more recent version remaining in the cloud AFTER the deletion." On a related note, it would be really nice if there were a few automated script actions that could be made available in the online web interface to Onedrive to help people clear up space, like "delete all but the most recent X versions of files within directory OnedriveRoot:/this/is/the/path" Thanks, A frustrated IT support dudeBlock/prevent specific folders from being sync'ed
As OneDrive admins we would like to block/prevent specific folders from being sync'ed (i.e node_modules), using policies. In the roadmap there is this item: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?id=178292 that was supposed to be rolling by now, any information about its status. Thanks
Onedrive file sync issue
I just recently had an issue where my files were not synced because i had run out of onedrive storage space so i just got rid of a bunch of unnecessary files sitting around which freed up a ton of space. The files still werent synced so i resett one drive to sync them back up but when i did that it just restored the files i had just deleted. I kept trying over and over again but the same kept happening and now i cant sycn my files. Ive tried everything, restarted my computer. Reinstalled onedrive but its all not working and my files and folders wonf sync. What do i do to fix this?OneDrive wanted me to set up backing up to OneDrive, again
When I logged into my Windows 11 machine here at home, I was presented with a full-window popup from OneDrive. It wanted me to set up backing up my important folders like Documents, Photos, etc. I have been paying for Microsoft 365 Family Edition for at least 10 years, so I've done this already. But I thought I'd go ahead and do it again. But now I'm wondering, might I have accidentally created a second schedule job to back up my Documents, Photos, etc. to OneDrive, duplicating what I've done when I set those things up years ago?
OneDrive for Business is showing I've used 700BG of space even though I've deleted everything.
OneDrive for Business is showing I've used 700BG of space. However, I have deleted everything from OneDrive and emptied both levels of recycle bin. Even the OneDrive page that shows you the biggest files in OneDrive is empty. And yet OneDrive claims 700GB are in use. I have NO files. Why is OneDrive showing 700GB used space?
Date taken option removed!
I’m finding One Drive increasingly frustrating as a photographer as the date taken option has been removed and my files are badly muddled, this option was part of the app for years so why did the developer remove it. Very annoying for professional photo work so bring it back.
Changing to Always Keep... changes all folders
Within a folder on OneDrive,there are other folders and files. I want to have some just on the cloud, and always keep some on my computer. When I click on Always Keep On This Computer, all the other folders at that folder level also change to Always Keep On This Computer. I'm not talking about the contents of the folder (which I'd expect to change), I'm talking about the folders at the same level as the one I change. Also, I have a couple of folders and files that show the white checked status icon in windows explorer (as opposed to the solid green one). The right click list shows a check on those for Always Keep on this computer. Why don't they have the solid green status icon? They don't even change in the situation described above.
Syncing Minecraft Worlds to Onedrive
Hello I am trying to sync my Minecraft "saves" folder to Onedrive. It has all of my Minecraft worlds folders on it. I can upload a copy of it to Onedrive, but I am unsure if the data in the world folders updates automatically as I play in my worlds. Does the data in the world folders update as I play them? How to I sync the "saves" folder to Onedrive (it does not give me the option when I right click. For reference, the saves folder is located at: C:\Users\mixma\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves
