OneDrive Upload and Share Permissions
Hello...I have a user using OWA (University - Microsoft 365 A5 license) who is experiencing a new scenario/error msg., when initiating the "upload and share" option to share a locally stored file as an email attachment (gets uploaded by default to their OneDrive Attachments folder) when sending OWA email messages to colleagues. The email will send with the attachment icon/link, but recipients don't have access to it and have to choose the "request access" option, where then the user/sender can approve the request for access. The error msg., is "you don't have permission to give others access to file X" and the filename that is uploaded has red text (normally it is blue). The users has tested this scenario on multiple computers w/ multiple browsers, and changed the upload OneDrive folder location, with the same result. I can initiate the same scenario on the same computers, browsers, and files, while signed onto my OWA account w/ out issue. The user's Mailbox has a small quota size and their OneDrive account does as well. This started about two weeks ago, though as far as I know, no University Enterprise changes were made to the users account. Not sure what to look at for a solution so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!ksdst1Feb 19, 2025Copper Contributor21Views0likes1CommentPNG with Transparent Background display black
I have read some old posts about this but can't find the solution or workaround. I use a windows laptop with windows 11 - up to date firmware and drivers. I am a crafter and save all the designs on onedrive, the majority come with a transparent background for building up designs. when i'm looking at the images in the software packages I use eg. affinity designer, design space, gimp, inkscape, infanview, they have black backgrounds but when opened they have a transparent background. I also have the same when viewing files using windows explorer. I've tried all the "fixes" that I've seen online but nothing has worked. Please can someone save my sanity and point me in the right direction.paularogersFeb 17, 2025Copper Contributor33KViews0likes6CommentsOnedrive settings window stuck on the loading circle
Hi, I'm having trouble accessing the OneDrive settings window in Windows 11. I've tried several troubleshooting steps, including resetting, reinstalling, and deleting configuration files (located in the %localappdata% directory). Additionally, I ran an SFC /scannow command, but it didn't detect any errors. The Settings window appears to be stuck, as shown in the attached image. I will appreciate any help.

Hi, Synchronization issues across multiple computers. I am updating spreadsheets and PDF's on one computer, and then try to pick it up on another computer and it is not downloading the most recent copy from the server. I will double-click the file that is supposedly up to date, and then it downloads/opens a version that is several days old. Then I try to update again accordingly and then save and then it says "MERGE CONFLICT BLAH BLAH BLAH" I try downloading a copy from the server to my downloads folder (by logging into OneDrive via web browser), replace it with the existing old file locally and then open it again and try to save and then says "UPLOAD BLOCKED" blah blah blah. It seems I am in a no-win situation here. I have tried un-linking the machine and then re-downloading all the files but it just does not fetch the most recent version of whatever few recent files I worked on. I am running into a synchronization nightmare, please advise. What changed in the last month or so when all these problems are coming up for me? Never had this nonsense before.

Previously, I used OneDrive with one account and have now unlinked that account from OneDrive. After that, I deleted the OneDrive app on my computer and reinstalled the OneDrive app and logged into the new account. However, I cannot delete the old OneDrive folder from my computer. It keeps giving me errors and won't let me delete it. Please help me and show me how to delete the old OneDrive folderTuan_Anh1705Feb 14, 2025Copper Contributor24KViews2likes15CommentsLost all Onedrive files
I manage my Onedrive files primarily on my desktop and when I went into my computer today I couldn’t access any file because they all had the red X sync error. Then I went into the web to access them and they were all gone. I checked the recycle bin and restore and nothing was there. Any idea what happened and how I can get my files back? I have multiple accounts (two for work and one personal) and this was my personal account. My work is doing updates on my work laptop this week and my concern is somehow they deleted all my personal files.SSC2903Feb 13, 2025Copper Contributor49Views0likes1CommentOneDrive and Windows File Explorer
Have a OneDrive structure with several levels of folders. There are several differant company names with the same file structure under each of them. I am sharing just certain folders with an individual but in File Explorer you cant see the names of the folders above the shared folder. On a MAC it shows the file structure from TOP to were the shared file is . Any suggestions?

OneDrive Context menu missing Hi guys, I’m having some issues regarding OneDrive and it’s Context Menu not being present on files. Environment: Windows 11 23H2, Intune managed OneDrive Build: 25.005.0112.30003 (64-bit) Affected users: all I tried all the fixes I could find on the Internet, but none have helped. Devices don’t have issues with synchronization, they only have an issue with the Context Menu missing. I can only see Always Keep on this Device and Free Up Space. Even if I press Show More Options, only the same only two previously mentioned appear. Is there anything else which I could have missed? Intune policies – no one seems to control such a thing, the context menu. Is there really not a known fix for this issue? 1. UAC control - ⦁ How to change the User Account Control policies to allow OneDrive context menus - Microsoft Support In my case, both explorer and onedrive are with No, at the Elevated status According to the above article, the following Local Security policies are in place: 2. Check if the shell extension is blocked Add or Remove "Move to OneDrive" context menu in Windows 11 | Windows 11 Forum The Key Blocked did not even exist on the device. I’ve went and added it manually, for both current user and all users, nothing has changed. 3. Fresh install of OneDrive, downloaded from ⦁ Download the OneDrive App for PC, Mac, Android, or iOS – Microsoft OneDrive – no luck 4. Reinstalling OneDrive with /allusers parameter – no luck. Had a look through HKRoot\* - nothing I did made a difference. I can see that other users are complaining of this issue to this day - Windows 11 File Explorer context menu missing View Online and Version - Microsoft Community Options OneDrive not visible in File Explorers context menu - Microsoft CommunitywhatamidoingFeb 12, 2025Copper Contributor174Views2likes2Comments
