Some OneDrive options missing in file explorer

Hi all,

 

I have a user that is missing some handy options for OneDrive when using file explorer.. Options like "view online", "copy link", etc..

 

I've followed the steps in below but didnt help: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/how-to-change-the-user-account-control-policies-to-allow-onedrive-context-menus-1f957672-848d-48bb-bfe8-5af828613211

  • identified it as not elevated - modifying the local policy - didnt help
  • uninstalled existing onedrive and installed new one (downloaded from Users Office 365 portal) with "/allusers" - didnt help

 

 

what can be done here to get those options back?

    MiSum83 I have seen this when the path length is too long i.e. the users have deeply nested or long-named folders. Cloud -based storage systems typically have shorter path lengths than local file systems.
