Opening OneDrive files from Finder on Mac does not enable Autosave like on Windows.
Hello all. I am having an issue with using OneDrive on Mac. If I open a file, say a Word doc or PowerPoint, on OneDrive through Finder, the Autosave feature will not be on by default. If I do the same action on Windows through file explorer, it opens with Autosave turned on. When I try to turn on Autosave in Word, it prompts me to upload a new version onto OneDrive. This would make a new copy. And that new copy, if opened from Finder, still will not have autosave turned on. However, when I open the file from within the Word application or Excel or PowerPoint, autosave is turned on automatically. I would like for files opened from my OneDrive folder in Finder to open with Autosave turned on by default. This is how it works on Windows.
Copilot prompts answers in word document in OneDrive
Hello I think I made a mistake tonight, I am discussing and learning a lot with Copilot and I don't have good memory. A while ago I started using Microsoft 365 and OneDrive to document some info because I use it for reference. I never had any problems before tonight. I was just playing with my last document in word. I then got a signal and a link to the Microsoft security hub. I did not have any bad intentions, did and do not plan to distribute or sell. The terms of use contract stipulates that we can use the resources for personal use. Hope to touch base Thank you
Why are all the files I copy in OneDrive only in OneDrive ?
Hi. I recently copy all my documents in OnDrive for save, because I am writting my PhD thesis and want some saves. The problem is that I wanted to keep my files in normal files, on my computer, and have a copy in One Drive. But now, each and every files that I copy are only in OneDrive. Each files of my computer are now sync with OneDrive. But I want to keep files on my computer and copy them in OneDrive only when I want to, not automatically because now I don't have any normal files on my computer. How can I repair this ? Thank you in advance,Stop "Backup this document" prompt in Office
Every so often when I open a file in Excel or Word (perhaps about one in five), I get a prompt that says "Backup this document to OneDrive". I use Windows11 and Office365. I have every option for OneDrive backup turned off. I have it set for all files stored locally, all folders are off for backup in OneDrive settings. Anytime OneDrive asks me to back something up I dismiss it. How can I turn this nagging prompt off permanently?Sharing photos in One drive with Samsung user
Help! Have family 365 account and have set up a file of thousands of family photos. In the past no problem. Sent to their email and then they could access the file with all the photos coming up and viewed online. They have a Samsung phone. Now the link is there to the file but each photo needs to be downloaded separately. Any ideas how to resolve?
Modification loss in excel files hosted on OneDrive
On December 4th I discovered losses of modifications in some files. When opening an Excel file I often work with, I was suprised since I was sure I added some lines into it a few days ago. I looked at version history and found a strange behaviour on December 4th: several versions on 29th November 15:06 with the same size. One of the 3 versions of 29th November 15:06 seem to be the latest in terms of modifications, even the size was similar. So I manually recovered this one. I did the same on a 2nd excel file to confirm the issue. Other files may be impacted. How can that happen? Could it be a ntp issue leading OneDrive not to know which version is the latest? I opened a case at MS support, but they closed the case w/o resolution. They even didn't try to understand the issue, just sending a TN how to restore a version of a file. But first I need to identify all the impacted files, then to find the correct version. I can't do these actions manually on hundred or maybe thousands of files. How could I proceed? Do u think it is related to Excel or OneDrive or to sthg else?
Photo comments not backup to OneDrive
I frequently add comments/descriptions to the pictures in my Android and iPhone, however after spending a few nights backing up my albums, I found out only the photo files are uploaded and no comments are included. Is there a way to upload with comments or is that a limitation of OneDrive?
