Issue with accessing personal vault on OneDrive app post restart
When I opened my onedrive mobile app today the app pushed a message saying that a restart was required. I restarted the app and it told me to set up my personal vault. I've been using my personal vault for several years now so no set up was required.
When I logged into my personal vault, all of the files within it were missing.
They're available on the online version of onedrive but not in the app version.
There's nothing in the recycling bin and there's no recent activity to suggest mass movement/deletion of files.
I've restarted the app multiple times, tried with and without wifi, and have tried on different devices - all are showing an empty vault.
Has anyone had this problem? Is this a syncing issue or a bug with the new app?

Logout and relogin, then reactivate the Personal Vault solve the bugged vault for me.

I've resolved logging-out from Onedrive and logging-in again

I started having the same issue on my Samsung S25 phone. What worked for me was to disable the OneDrive app. That essentially uninstalls the update and reverts it back to the old version which works just fine. It will make you set up the Personal Vault again, but once you do and it refreshes, all your files show up again and they can be opened and viewed normally. I disabled the automatic update so that it doesn't reinstall this faulty patch and will re-enable that setting once I know this has been fixed by Microsoft.

Just started having a similar issue. I can see my files in the vault just fine, on PC, in a browser, and in the Andoird app. However, in the Android app, I can't open any of the files. I get tis error message: "We can't open the file. Might have been moved or deleted, or you might now have permission to edit it."
The files have neither been moved nor deleted, and I am fully authenticated to access anything in the app. - RobleveloCopper Contributor

Agree. This is crazy. I am also unable to see some files in not vault folders on iOS.
