OneDrive Taking up space on C: even when nothing is being kept on device.
Recently got a new device and had all my files on the previous device synced to my OneDrive. The C drive has about 120 GB of my data (including OS) but when I check my Disk space, I only have 5GB remaining out of 256. However, OneDrive seems to be taking about 150 GB on the disk even though all the files have the cloud icons on it.
OneDrive for macOS documentation issue. DefaultFolder plist example is missing array wrapper
Hi everyone, The Microsoft Learn documentation for configuring the OneDrive sync app on macOS currently contains an incorrect plist example for the DefaultFolderLocation setting. Documentation page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/deploy-and-configure-on-macos#defaultfolderlocation In the “DefaultFolderLocation” section, the current plist example shows the DefaultFolder key as a dictionary: <key>DefaultFolder</key> <dict> <key>Path</key> <string>(DefaultFolderPath)</string> <key>TenantId</key> <string>(TenantID)</string> </dict> This format does not work correctly when deployed as a managed preference/configuration profile. The setting starts working when the DefaultFolder dictionary is wrapped in an array, like this: <key>DefaultFolder</key> <array> <dict> <key>Path</key> <string>(DefaultFolderPath)</string> <key>TenantId</key> <string>(TenantID)</string> </dict> </array> Please update the Microsoft Learn documentation to include the array wrapper in the DefaultFolder plist example. The current Microsoft Learn example is confusing because administrators may deploy the documented plist exactly as shown, but the setting does not appear to work correctly until the array wrapper is added.
Search
The Onedrive search is not working properly. I have a file called "Vegetarian moussaka recipe.docx" stored in Onedrive (created 9/4/26). When I search for this word in the Onedrive.com website on my laptop (Windows11), or on my Onedrive phone app it is not found, even though if I look for it manually, by going to the folder on Onedrive.com, it is clearly there. When I do the same search in File Explorer on my laptop it does show the file. An odd thing is that I then created a copy of the file, called: "Vegetarian moussaka recipe copy.docx", this is an exact copy and this one IS found, but not the original. I have contacted Microsoft support about it, and sent recordings, data etc as requested, but they don't know the answer. They have just told me to use a "workaround" which is just to use the copied version of the file instead of the original. Since then I've discovered another file this has happened with, called: "Tuscan chicken with beans.docx, created 9/5/26) this also doesn't show in the search in Onedrive.com but does show in a file explorer search. If I copy the file to my Desktop, without renaming it, it DOES show in the Onedrive.com search. Interestingly, the similarity between this file and the other one (Vegetarian moussaka recipe.docx) is that I created both files on my computer (Windows 11) by copying text from an internet page. (But I tried recreating this just now by creating a test and that file behaves normally).
How to modify which folders to backup on android onedrive app
Currently my Android OneDrive app backs up photos from many different folders as can be seen in screenshot below in section "Back up device folders". How can I modify this list? It seem it ends up backing up screenshots too which I will like to remove along with many other unknown folders. Here is the screen shot: https://i.postimg.cc/9M98hGsM/image.png (I uploaded to another since this forum's thread editor kept saying "Media upload in progress. Try again in few moments.)
OneDrive Sync Error code: 0x80004004
I have a user with sync issues getting Error code: 0x80004004. It will not let me disconnect Onedrive to reconnect it. There is no work or school account tied to the device. Attempted to connect account but did not resolve the issue. Already tried to repair but that did not work either. I ended all OneDrive processes and refreshed the File Explorer and no changes. Not sure how to fix the issue. Its a local user, no domain. Account has a standard license.
One Drive options disappeared in file explorer
As a small business we change the color of folder in our one drive so everyone knows the status without having to dig into the folder to figure it out. We have been able to right click the folder and go to "One Driver" and there was a folder color option. That option is no longer there. We can still go to the web app and change the color which does change in file explorer but this becomes a real pain when you are doing a bunch of these every day. I have done a lot of things I have found online but still can not get this option back. It has vanished from multiple computers as well as every account on my computer. This does not see to be a server side issue but rather an issue with the newer release of One Drive from what appears to be released last week. How can we fix this or is there a way I can go back to a previous version of One Drive where it worked?
Synchronisation d'un fichier impossibel

Quelqu'un a une idée pour que je puisse supprimer ce fichier, qui m'est inutile...Getting rid of unwanted shares
Hello everyone. On my company computers there is a name listed under "People" and this individual has shared a file with me (by mistake I assume). Through a lot of digging I finally found out he is an attorney and it was paperwork from some case he had worked on. I don't know him and whatever the docs are have nothing to do with me. The secretary I talked to didn't seem to care and said, "I don't believe it's confidential. Just ignore it." I don't want to ignore it! Every time I log on there it is. It's intrusive! And before you all say just hide it, No, There should be a way to not automatically accept unwanted shares.Temp Files Flagged As Viruses By Norton - Windows 11
My Norton anti-virus software keeps quarantining temp files from my onedrive setup folder as containing viruses. This happens every few minutes. Any thoughts on what this might be from? All files seem to be synced and I am just doing normal browsing and Word processing.
