Slow OneDrive uploadspeed!
For a few years i used an university MS-account with 2TB OneDrive storage. Now these cooperation runs out and i made my own MS account with those 1TB OneDrive storage. I have like ~500GB of data in that old OneDrive and right now try to copy everything to my new personal one... But the uploadspeed is horrible! Referring to speedtests I have like 50Mbit/s (Ethernet so quite stable) so ~ like 6.25MB/s upload. The maximum onedrive reaches is like 1.5MB/s.... and in average i get like 750kB/s... My PC is already running for 2 days... Do you have any idea to solve this problem or is this just something i have to accept? Is it possible that institutions like universities have better uploadspeeds, or are just prioritized and so on? Thanks in advance! BR
One Drive processing over 75K changes (Macintosh)...
This morning I noticed my One Drive folder in my DocK start to "jump" every 10 seconds or so. I investigated and the One Drive app was processing over 75K changes. I have not touched any file on my One Drive in a few weeks. I upgraded to the latest Mac OS Sequoia Beta about 1 week ago (not the one that just came out yesterday). This is odd behavior, IMHO. It doesn't look like there are any changes to the files, or changes to the update dates. I believe if MS or Apple changed something in the meta data of a file, that that changes might cause this behavior. Or if you "reset" OneDrive. In either case it is processing changes that are really not changes to the files, correct? I also read that MS is adding (unwanted in my opinion) AI features to 365. Could that be causing some behind the scene changes? Weird. Bryan
Tagging Photos Across Logins
I have photos in shared folders that I'm having problems tagging (or seeing tags) across different OneDrive accounts using the desktop app. I can add & see tags in some, but not others and vice versa. Some photos won't allow me to add tags at all. I have checked to make sure the files accept tags, tried multiple computers loggged into the same OneDrive account as well as those I've shared the file with and can't seem to find how/when I'm given the "permission" to add tags or not. Also odd that sometimes the tags show up across devices/accounts while others don't. Please help!

So recently I started noticing SharePoint process in working in background. (I used procexp.exe app). I don't have SharePoint installed on my computer, so I clicked on it and looked it's path in properties. It took me to "Microsoft OneDrive" folder, but the process .exe file was in folder with a lot of nums in it's name. Name looks like a.b.c.d (a, b, c, d are some numbers) So this folder has 2 folders with nums in the name, first one has only one file, while second has a lot more folders, dll files, some .exe and some other types, and the Microsoft.SharePoint.exe which is the process exe file I saw in procexp. While I don't really use any Microsoft apps (I only use Word, where I have autosave option disabled). And, as I mentioned, I don't have SharePoint installed, so it's the only app with that name on my pc. This program is signed by Microsoft, so I am sure it's not a malware. So I have 2 questions: 1) What can this program do in my pc (procexp says it is in LISTENING mode) ? 2) How to disable it, or, at least, disable autostart?
OneDrive Application keeps processing large number of files even if it is not syncing
We have a cloud file storage that we plan to migrate to SharePoint sites. One of the sites that I copied to test performance has approx. 550 GB and 320K files (total storage has 5.2 TB and 1.1 million files). I opened SharePoint site and clicked button to add to OneDrive but didn't click sync button. I want to see folder structure in Windows Explorer but don't want to download files. The problem is that OneDrive Windows app keeps processing forever consuming a lot of CPU and memory. Most of us work on laptops and OneDrive app seems to restarting processing every time laptop is started, so it can't finish during the day. My users want accept browsing files using a web browser, so client app is an only option for me. Am I hitting a limit of OneDrive app?OneDrive link not working once shared
When sharing a video over OneDrive to someone else, once the other person gets the link...it just open the thumbnail and says wait for browser to start downloading..and it just stays this way for infinity. Workaround for this is to create folder, and share the folder instead. Tried same video over google drive it works without issue. This was a problem for me like a year ago. Is there some reason for this?
OneDrive stuck on "signing in"
Hi, I'm trying to use Onedrive and Onenote, but it seems to be really terrible 50% of the time. Sometimes when I log on my pc, it says I have to log in, and in doing so, is stuck on a "signing in" loop, until it says some error code about me not having an internet connection. Here's what I've tried: 1. Close and open Onedrive 2. Removing auth from the pc and adding it again 3. Reinstalling Onedrive 4. Change Wi-Fi 5. Do a /reset in Windows run AND cmd 6. Update drivers 7. Install the newest Onedrive from the website 8. Try the app-version found in Windows Store What am I supposed to do? I don't want to restart my pc every time it doesn't work, that's a terrible fix.
how 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!
