OneDrive changing dates
I have an S24 ultra with pictures dating back to 2001 till the current day. I have thousands of family photos that I was able to gather and organize, and wanted them to be synced with OneDrive so I can access them on my PC and my phone. I decided to get OneDrive to be able to upload ALL of my gallery to OneDrive however, I noticed that around 80% of everything getting uploaded has its dates changed to the time it was uploaded, while a handful remains accurate. I made sure it wasn't the way I was viewing the folder and files, and checked the properties/info of the files and saw that all the dates and data were changed. Is there any way to fix this or prevent this from happening?
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.OneDrive personal account not signing in 0x800704cf
OneDrive app (Windows 11) personal account has stopped working. Stuck on signing in. After unlinking PC and attempting to sign in again as part of troubleshooting it comes up with a message about not being connected to the internet. 0x800704cf. But the sign in works on a business account on the same PC. Does anyone have a fix? I have tried the following: restarting OneDrive reinstalling OneDrive clearing cahed credentials reseting OneDrive firewall/antivirus disable check check date and time settings web sign in worksOnedrive Web search : "Location" column always shows "My Files" for folders path
reproducible bug in the OneDrive web search results Summary: the "Location" column systematically displays "My Files" for folders, regardless of their actual location in the directory tree. This does not affect files — files correctly display their real path in the same column. Expected behavior: The "Location" column should display the actual parent path of the folder (e.g. My Files > Subfolder A > Subfolder B ...). Actual behavior: The "Location" column displays "My Files" for every folder result, regardless of where the folder actually sits in the hierarchy. Note: The same search correctly shows the real path for files inside those same folders. The issue is exclusive to folder-type results. Environment: Account type: Personal Reproducible: Yes, 100% consistently Impact: This makes it impossible to disambiguate between folders with the same name located in different parts of the tree when using search. Please let me know if additional information or screenshots would help. Thank you.
Files are gone, folderstructure is there
Dear community, I have a one drive account with a extensive folder structure. Today I noticed that the folderstructure is intact (on my laptop and online) but the files are mostly gone for 90%, here and there a folder with some files. My account is a personal 356, have 1 terrabyte. I tried to restore the drive through the instructions I found online by Microsoft, go to settings, one drive restore, check recycle bin, etcetera. Nothing helped. I did not deleted the files manually. I honestly do not know what to do? Tried to get in contact with Microsoft but that is totally impossible. Is there anyone that has expirienced this also? I use onedrive now for many years and never had this. Please help
Unable to @ mention external collaborators in comments within Office online files
Is anyone aware of whether Microsoft will someday enable the ability to @ mention users who do not belong to the M365 tenant within comments in Office online files? I've attached a screenshot of what this looks like in a Word Online file in OneDrive. There are a number of Microsoft feedback posts about this, but it really feels like an unnecessary gap in functionality. Anyone have any insights on roadmap?
Files not accessible on OneDrive app
My files are not corrupted - if I download them form browser site of onedrive, they can be opened without issues. Nevertheless, my pc folder synced by the OneDrive app, which worked fine until today, became problematic. PDF files show an "access denied" message. Tried logging out and logging in, didn't help.
Adding a folder on an external drive to OneDrive
The reason for asking this question is existing discussions on the subject seem to provide contradictory information. Can I include a folder (i.e., D:\Finances\Taxes\TY 2024) on the USB external drive D: and all subfolders to the default OneDrive folders under C:\Users\nagdt\OneDrive so it will be backed up just like the default OneDrive folders, and if so, how? FYI... When I go to OneDrive Settings -> Sync and backup -> Back up important PC folders to OneDrive -> Manage Backup, I am not offered an option to add a folder in addition to the five primary default folders except for those folders under the five primary default folders. Thanks! NAGDT
PNG 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.
