Recently saved files not appearing in OneDrive Folders
Hello,
I just saved a bunch of files into OneDrive folders that I use to pull data. When I went to my spreadsheets to refresh and update the data, I was surprised to see that there was no change. I went to check the folders and none of the files I had just saved were appearing. I went back to Excel > File > Open, and my files were there with the correct pathway/folder location that I was looking in. But on refresh of the file explorer they are still not showing up, and considering that the spreadsheet are not pulling data from those specific data files, they are not there.
Attached are screenshots of my folders without the files, along with a screenshot of Excel's recent files that show the file locations in those folders where they are not appearing. Appreciate any and all feedback/similar experiences.
- Ditto ... one of my users is experiencing exactly the same issue. I am surprised this appears to have never been responded to.
I think I have the same issue. I modified a file and saved with a new name using Save As in Word. Edited the file, saved it, exited Word. Two days later, Word has the file name and directory correct as a recent file but if I try to open it Word cannot find it and asks if it has been deleted, renamed or moved. It is nowhere to be found on OneDrive, not in the recycle bin or a different account. If one tries to Restore OneDrive one can see a log of all events and the file concerned appears nowhere on the log, even though Word clearly thought it was saving it to OneDrive and was allowing it to be edited and saved.
I think it may be this issue:

- I know this is an older post but did you find a solution as I have the same issue
Had exacly the same problem this evening. One work around was to save the file in the local drive only (e.g. Documents folder), and then copy it and then paste it into the One Drive Location. That works, but doesn't solve the reported problem.
