Clicking the Copy link button instantly breaks the inheritance of the file or folder
Hi all, This is something that needs sorting out. The scenario is, I want to copy a "People with existing access link", using the Copy link button in the ribbon of a modern document library. As soon as I click "Copy link" the inheritance of the file or folder is broken. This is expected when using the Anyone, people in your organisation or specific people links, but not "People with existing access." One of the reasons this is occurring is that we cannot specify "People with existing access." as the default link. Which is something we want, but is a discussion for a different post. Before breaking the inheritance of the file or folder, the button code needs to wait until the user has selected the appropriate option before breaking the inheritance.Andrew SilcockMay 14, 2025Steel Contributor2.4KViews0likes12Commentshow to save two different computers seperately with the same microsoft account to one drive?
how do you save two differnt (or more your PCs) to the same one drive so they don't blur together? As my computers age, I tend to change them and thought I could save my old PCs to the cloud under one drive. Now I am confused. I think I might have done this before but I'm not sure. Since my new PC purchases, it drops all of my then current PC down into the device. My first new one was just a notebook and I wanted it to remain emptish/clean of anything in order to think. Also a notebook brain is not too big. I had it sinking, but I'm not sure how now. My new desktop also automatically just dumped the old PC (windows 10) to this new PC (windows 11) which I like sort of blank so I can relearn the computer and to start new. I only use one Microsoft and think they made it a law that we, the consumer, only has one Microsoft account, free or paid per person. Please help!10KViews0likes3CommentsOneDrive unlink a sharepoint site on its own
Hello, I admit, this is a weird one. 10 users have a sharepoint site synced to their computer, using onedrive "sync" feature. Everything works fine. Out of the blue, one of the users complains that the folder is not kept in sync; indeed there was no folder in sync in the onedrive settings. while we thought about a user mistake, all the other users started complaining about the same issue. We gathered onedrive logs and parse them to deoffuscate the strings and we found out that onedrive reports the Library to be unreachable LibraryErrorHandler::SendCoreMessageForUnreachableLibraries this triggers the deletetion of the registry key that manages the sync Removing unknown key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SyncRootManager\OneDrive\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Has anyone experienced this? I reached out to our CSP and they told me they can't help since there is no active issue.inframasterMay 14, 2025Occasional Reader1View0likes0CommentsCan't connect to OneDrive from my PC!
Hi there, I've had issues recently with connecting and syncing OneDrive on my PC so I contacted the Microsoft support service and they recommended I uninstall then reinstall the OneDrive app but since then I can't connect at all! I keep receiving the 0x8004de40 error message. FYI: I use an Ethernet connection on a private/home network (fiber optic), I have Windows 11 (up to date), on a desktop PC. I tried in WiFi but I get the same message. Using the inetcpl.cplI command, I also made sure only TLS 1.2 and 1.3 were ticked (as recommended by Microsoft support). Bizarrely OneDrive works fine on my laptop connected in WiFi to the same network... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help as I'm at the end of my tether here! 🙃FriduchitaMay 13, 2025Copper Contributor49Views0likes1CommentWhat kind of problem has appeared?

Not sure if I'm in the right place but I have uploaded my photos from iphone to onedrive and then deleted them. I now realise that the location is not shown when opening OneDrive on my phone. If I look at OneDrive on my computer the information is there although not on every photo. Can anyone help please?BluegeraniumMay 13, 2025Copper Contributor4Views0likes0CommentsGuest link sharing has stopped working in the OneDrive 5tb business.
Guest link sharing has stopped working in the OneDrive 5tb business. I give all the permissions. (Share with everyone. No login required) I create a link to a folder or file.Friends and acquaintances are trying to open the link. But. They write: Access is prohibited. You do not have permissions to access this resource. And they require you to log in with an account. And you can't log in with a regular account. This is necessary for everyone to whom I give the link, in addition, I also need to give my admin username and password. So that you can open it on your computer.It's absurd!Vlades41May 12, 2025Copper Contributor18Views0likes1CommentWeird serious problem with shared folders in personal Onedrive after windows 10 update.
Hi there, Last week my PC got updates from MS for windows 10 , and after the reboot my Onedrive local client started doing weird things deleting folders and renaming them to names with -COMPUTERNAME behind them. My setup is as follows: I'm logged on to my own Onedrive In my Onedrive I have shared folders with data that other family members in a family subsciption shared with me. There is a lot of data in them, some have 660Gb of pics and videos. I added those shared folders to my Onedrive, so I can access them in my own explorer without logging on to another account. This setup has been working fine for years, up until this MS update... I noticed after the reboot that my Onedrive Personal client was deleting a lot of folders from the local Onedrive folder on my harddrive, but only the folders that have the shared offline data, they were in the recycing BIN. I tried to re-connect the Onedrive but nothing changed, the online view in my Onedrive was still intact , including the shared folders from other Onedrives, but locally these were gone. So at that point I saw a different file structure online compared to the one in my own Explorer. I then tried to restore them from the recycling bin, only to find out that Onedrive would rename them to 'ORIGINALNAME-WIN10' where WIN10 is my computername. It then started uploading all this data AGAIN to my online )storage, the 'shared (Gedeeld) folders were copied into my own drive with the label 'private' behind it, but that is absolutely not what should happen, my own drive would have been full within a day if I didn't break off this operation. Here you can see a screenshot of what was happening, while it was still 'syncing': I tried re-installing and re-connecting the Onedrive client, and also removing all the extra copies of the folders online AND offline, hoping it would resync the whole thing from the Original online shared folders. The shared folders just don't turn up anymore in my local view. Instead the Onedrive client started renaming even more shared folders that seemed untouched before, and uploading the contents to my own Onedrive.... So to make it absolutely clear what happened: the shared folders that were only in the Cloud didn't turn up locally anymore, the shared folders that were on both sides were renamed locally and copied back to the cloud as a new private copy folder (as you can see in the screenshot). Did MS change something with the last updates that forces shared data to actually be taking up space in your own Onedrive, where this was not the case before? Or is this just something that went corrupt on my own PC and can I fix it somehow? I can't imagine them changing something that has such an impact without any warning since it causes a lot of trouble for people using shared folders and also a LOT of network traffic if everyone with shared folders gets into these issues.... I hope some real expert on Onedrive can tell me what is going on, and esp. how to fix it? To be honest, this seems a PRETTY SERIOUS issue if other have it too... ;) MarcelTheDudeNLMay 10, 2025Copper Contributor801Views9likes10CommentsIssue with accessing personal vault on OneDrive app post restart
When I opened my onedrive mobile app today the app pushed a message saying that a restart was required. I restarted the app and it told me to set up my personal vault. I've been using my personal vault for several years now so no set up was required. When I logged into my personal vault, all of the files within it were missing. They're available on the online version of onedrive but not in the app version. There's nothing in the recycling bin and there's no recent activity to suggest mass movement/deletion of files. I've restarted the app multiple times, tried with and without wifi, and have tried on different devices - all are showing an empty vault. Has anyone had this problem? Is this a syncing issue or a bug with the new app?bnskeelMay 09, 2025Copper Contributor1.7KViews9likes16Comments".tmp.driveupload"
I am having an issue where my word doc (set to autosave to OneDrive business desktop app) on my PC is suddenly saved in a ".tmp.driveupload" folder online under a different file name (random numbers), with autosave switched off. If I do not notice this happening, the change to the document is not saved under the expected folder and file name, resulting in no change made to the file I opened. The only workaround I've found is to "save a copy" and overwrite the file I opened in the original folder. This only works if I notice the sudden name change and file save in the tmp folder. If I don't, the changes are lost because the tmp file is deleted (to recycle bin) on exit and the tmp folder is not synced to my PC. I have to go online to the OneDrive business website, guess which file it may be, restore that from the OneDrive recycle bin, and hope it is the file I was looking for. The frequency of this happening means that there are numerous tmp files under pseudo file names to scour through. One-hour plus on the phone with MS Office subscription support is of no help.MarkPillayMay 08, 2025Copper Contributor3.9KViews5likes8Comments
