Recent files show files have been accessed today within minutes of this message. I have not accessed these files in most cases in months and in some cases years. I have tried Microsoft support but they haven't been able to help. Example: I have a word document called AC placement. I have not opened that document in more than a month. In the Recent area it shows that I accessed that document at 3:20 PM today, minutes before this post. I have excel document callled Sprinklers which I have not opened in 6 months. It lists ti as opened on 10/19/2023 at 12:10 PM. I am trying to understand if there is a probelm with oneDrive or is someone else accessing my documents through oneDrive.jimj68Feb 10, 2025Copper Contributor40KViews0likes17CommentsTroubleshooting OneDrive Sync Issues: A Step-by-Step Guide

There's now a stronger UI difference between Photos and Files, which is fine, but videos in the Files explorer do not appear to have thumbnails - which makes it rather pointless to visually explore folders full of videos.DC_Orbiter_EvokeFeb 09, 2025Copper Contributor6Views0likes0CommentsOneDrive 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.magluFeb 09, 2025Copper Contributor265KViews3likes46CommentsFile Explorer slow in Onedrive Folders
Hi all I'm using the latest version of Onedrive together with an updated Windows 11 and FSLogix (latest version) with Office profile disks. When using the file explorer to open folders from onedrive folders in the middle pane, it takes 10-20 seconds till the next window opens. When navigating in the same file explorer window but with the left treeview, everything is fast. When opening a file from within Word, Excel, ... with the popup file explorer, everything is fast. So the issue is only when clicking in the main window of a file explorer. I've done already all the updates, sfc, dism, reinstalled Onedrive, ... The issue is with all users.sddt5Feb 09, 2025Copper Contributor24KViews6likes24CommentsOneDrive Q regarding file access from 2 systems
Scenario: Within the root of one drive I have a directory named RESOURCE_FILES. Within that I have a txt file named MyFile.txt . SCENARIO1: I am at my laptop (named MyLP01) connected to one drive and using a text editor app (note NotePad) I open MyFile.txt that is in OneDrive. If I move to my workstation (MyPC01) and open MyFile.txt using a text editor (not NotePad) I can have teh file open on both systems. If a change is made to MyFile.txt on either PC, the other will get a notice that the file has changed and tge text editor app asks me if I want to reload the updated file. This is expected behavior. SCENARIO2: I am at my laptop (named MyLP01) connected to one drive and using a text editor app (note NotePad) I open MyFile.txt that is in OneDrive. Without closing the file or altering it, I activate teh VPN to my office and then I launch RDP (Remote Desktop) and connect my pc at work (MyWORKPC01). I then launch a text editor app (not NotePad) and open MyFile.txt located in OneDrive. When I try to open teh file after about 15-20 seconds I get an error msg that there is a problem accessing teh file. Why in scenario 1 can I have 1 file in OneDrive open from 2 different systems but I can't in scenario#2?

I've had a lot of trouble recently with the use of sharing links. I'll create a sharing link from within Office, send it out, then when someone clicks on it the link doesn't work. Yesterday this happened, so I created a new sharing link, then tested it myself. The other users were able to access the document and respond with comments, so this morning I updated the document, and when I look in OneDrive now, the document is no longer listed as Shared and the sharing link that worked yesterday no longer works. Has anyone else observed this sort of behavior and have you found any solutions? The error you get on attempted access is: Sorry, something went wrong Sorry, you cannot access this document. Please contact the person who shared it with you. TECHNICAL DETAILS Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.

Why can I not see the 'People' section in Photos on the OneDrive app that is depicted in the following Microsoft support topic titled 'Group photos by people'. The purpose is to enable users to find photos that have particular people in them. Great feature, just can't find it in my OneDrive apps on either my Business or Personal Microsoft 365 services? Group photos by people - Microsoft Support Is this a new feature that hasn't been rolled out yet, and if so when is it coming?PenguinheadFeb 07, 2025Copper Contributor19KViews2likes9CommentsLost 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 07, 2025Copper Contributor15Views0likes0CommentsOneDrive Context Menu Missing on Windows 11
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 06, 2025Copper Contributor34Views0likes0Comments
