OneNote for Windows 10: Insert link to OneDrive file
In OneNote for Windows 10 (consumer version): How can i insert a link to an existing file on OneDrive (consumer version) in a OneNote page? Thank you very much for your support Andreas
Hi HidMov, your method is good but it relies on the external link creation for sharing. What might be preferred is the local link to your account. For this, I do following:
1) Open the file to be linked in onedrive web
2) Copy the address that appears on address bar when that file is opened. Don't copy the parid portion - see below
3) Use insert link option in onenote and paste this copied address.
Continuing on pt 2 above.
Suppose your link comes out as
Then copy only: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=23435U34783895D6&id=23435U34783895D6!298 and not the full path.
So what happens is that if you move your file in onedrive, the link in onenote will remain intact. Basically you only need the unique id of the file and not its parent id (parid)
