Remove 'desktop' links permanently
Hi All I already tried searching Google for it, but I can't find info on how to remove obsolete OneDrive icons from the desktop (Bureaublad). In this 'explorer' view I have in the tree the 3 working OneDrive folder links. However on the 'desktop' (Bureaublad) view I see old obsolete icons eg. 'CEAN B.V. (32 bits)'. When I right-click I get the option to delete (verwijderen) and it will be removed. It will however re-appear after refreshing the view. So how do I remove it permanently? Is it something in the Registry? If yes, where to look for it. I cannot find any settings in OneDrive itself. Thanks for any suggestion. With kind regards Ludo
Onedrive not saving word changes
Hi. So for the past few weeks I've had this banner at the top of word. Translates to: LOGON REQUIRED We can't upload or download your changes, as your saved identification information have expired. When I log in again it disappears for a moment, and then reappears. At first it didn't cause any trouble, but now my changes to my word documents are literally not being saved. Even with "Save on PC as standard on. I have tried logging out and in again, both on word and onedrive, and uninstalled onedrive and reinstalled it again. No luck.
Just setup OneDrive, works great, but is there duplicate files on my C drive?
I setup one drive to help backup and sync my folders across workstations. I understand the icons, cloud, green checkmark-white background, white checkmark-green background. I see that that Documents links on the left side of the windows explorer screen are the same as the OneDrive(see image). After I let OneDrive sync up (around 30GB) of data, I noticed my hard drive got fuller. So I did some searching and see there are two separate "Documents" folder locations. From the picture you can see the left side window is from this location: C:\users\xxxxx\Documents\Inventor. There are no OneDrive status symbols like there are on the right side window. Are these file locations different? If I delete the data in the left side window location, will it affect the data in the other Documents location? Is it the same data? From the image you can also see that all my data is in the OneDrive documents folder, so I don't think it is the same data. I can't find the actual location of the quick links document folder to verify. Thanks!Student account storage update?
Since Monday, 2/19/2024, I have been receiving emails on Outlook regarding my OneDrive storage. This is a student OneDrive account, which should provide 1TB of cloud storage access for a lifetime. Have there been any updates to the policy that might have changed it to 100GB, or is this possibly just a glitch in the system?What words cannot be used as file names in OneDrive?
This is regarding OneDrive Business (latest version) synchronizing with SharePoint Documents store. User created a folder named "FORMS" at the root of the store and received the message from OneDrive: "Item name is not allowed in cloud". Rename "FORMS" or remove it from your <site name> folder." (Screenshot attached) I confirmed there were no characters or spaces before or after the "FORMS" and retyped it a couple times to be certain. I changed it from "FORMS" to "FORMS_CLUB" and it resolved the problem. Where can I find a list of the words that OneDrive does not allow to be used in folder/file names? Thank you in advance!
