Moving Images between Albums and OneDrive ?
In relation to this post, first OneDrive doesn't start for me as shown in this screen shot. How do I use OneDrive for Business and do what is mentioned in the linked post, when from what I understand I'm not using OneDrive for Business ? And besides I'm working with images, so if someone could give me some clarity on this and how to do what is linked above I would appreciate it.Reprobus RMar 20, 2025Iron Contributor7Views0likes0CommentsFiles are mysteriously appearing in the wrong OneDrive folders
For some reason, files in my some of my OneDrive folders are appearing in others. In most cases, they are not moving over from their original folders. They are still in the original folders but also popping up elsewhere. When I try to open them, most won't open. When you try to open photos that have duplicated in another folder, you're told "this file doesn't have a preview we can show you" and Word documents won't open with the message "sorry, this document can't be opened for editing". But I have come across one instance where a photo in a folder is copied in the same folder but with a completely different name of another t file from another folder. that did open. What is going on?rogercorkeMar 19, 2025Copper Contributor21Views0likes1Commentone drive doesn't appear to be syncing files to my new PC desktop

Hi, I am having an issue that I need help with. I have my One Drive account for several years. I have my main account signed in on my laptop. I have 4 other users sharing their folder with edit access to my main account. I add them as short cut to my main account. In the past, on my laptop, they function as folders. Meaning, I can move, delete, add files and they essentially function as a folder. Now, all my shared folder from my other users suddenly becomes short cut. When I open the folder, it brings me to the browser for me to sign in and view them. This never happened before and I am not sure what caused it. Please help. Edit Update: I am able to fix this by logging into One Drive with my other user account. Seems like not all accounts are affected only some. I know its not a fixed but at least a temporary solution. The problem seems to be on Microsoft side and I hope they fixed it soon or else I will be going to Google Drive. Update 2: This issue was ongoing since June 7, 2024. As of today, June 19, 2024 it still has not been fixed. Also, one of the Always on device folder on my laptop start deleting stuff on its own. I had to disble the always on device to get it to stop. Great job Microsoft, the most valueable company in the world. I think I will be moving to Google Drive.kaydee8888Mar 16, 2025Brass Contributor17KViews23likes55CommentsOnedrive not syncing to file explorer (Windows11)
Hi team, I've recently come across an issue with my one drive suddenly not syncing to my file explorer. I have lost access to viewing my shared documents in file explorer. I can only access my shared files via them default opening in a webpage and not the local file explorer like they used to. I do not have access to change the default program via the "open with" option as I have seen could work - the only option I have is "open" which then opens the webpage. Can anyone help advise how to work around this and regain access to my shared files in file explorer please? Thanks.HanPCPMar 16, 2025Copper Contributor719Views2likes11CommentsPeople menu not showing in OneDrive
I recently migrated my photos from Google Photos to OneDrive. One of the features I would like to use is face recognition, but this option doesn't appear for me. In fact, it seems that anything related to AI isn't working. Does anyone know why?AlexWallauMar 16, 2025Copper Contributor41Views0likes1CommentOneDrive is soooooooooooooooooooooo slow!
Why is OneDrive for Business so unacceptably slow? I've had a case open with Microsoft Support since February and to date they have involved several different teams, run numerous diagnostics and tests remotely on my computer, but still haven't been able to improve let alone resolve the very poor download speeds we are getting across the company. They can see the issue with their own eyes, and the under-performing tests are appearing in their diagnostic logs, but for whatever reason they cannot fix their own systems! We have a fibre-optic leased line, 100Mbit over a 1Gbit bearer. Running a speed test, I am getting the full 100Mbit up and down, and yet when I am downloading a file (whether it's a few MB or a few hundred MB) from OneDrive, the download rate hovers between 500Kb/s and 800Kb/s. Uploading the OneDrive for Business is fine - the upload rate is between 7Mb/s and 9Mb/s. It's just the download rate that's the issue. Whenever any of our users save anything to OneDrive and the document is no longer cached, they have to wait for what feels like an eternity for the file to be downloaded before it can be opened. If they're opening the file via an application, then that application will hang and stop responding until the file has been downloaded from their OneDrive. Before we switched to Microsoft 365, we hosted everything locally. Anything we tried to open would do so almost instantly. But using OneDrive feels like we have travelled back in time to the days of 56K/ISDN. If this is how OneDrive has been designed, then it should not be labelled as a business service. There are other solutions out there from competitors that outperform OneDrive, and unfortunately if these issues are not resolved soon, I doubt we will be the only business who migrates away from OneDrive or even Microsoft altogether.adhdave83Mar 16, 2025Copper Contributor25KViews2likes13CommentsOneDrive 12.53.10 crashing on iOS 15.0.2
We have a bunch of ipads that we manage with Intune and it appears that the latest version of Onedrive (12.53.10) is not compatible with iOS 15.0.2. When trying to open OneDrive, it crashed out immediately. I have tried restarting the iPad and also reinstalling OneDrive but nothing is working. This is happening across our entire org. Is anyone else having this issue?terklinMar 15, 2025Copper Contributor2.9KViews0likes4CommentsRemoved Documents on D Drive?
I have a PC with Win 10 on C drive, but all my documents (pictures, music, documents) live on the D drive, which is a separate 3TB HDD drive on my PC. I noticed that in Windows Explorer "Documents" folder was pointing to the OneDrive folder and not the Documents folder on my D: drive. So I attempted to unlink OneDrive from my PC and told it not to sync with all my folders. A couple folders were grayed out, in particular the documents folder. So, I told OneDrive to completely unlink from this PC. I had no idea that OneDrive was even linked in any way to the Documents folder on my D drive, however, after telling OneDrive to go away I don't want you anymore, now everything in my documents folder on my D drive is just, gone. I checked Recycle Bin, not there. I did a reset/restore to a earlier date (two days ago), but this did not bring anything in the folder back. What happened? Where did all the documents go?livemeyerMar 15, 2025Copper Contributor40Views1like2Comments
