Hello I use Windows 10. All the files in the OneDrive folder has the green checkmark. 1. Are the files with the green checkmark both in a local OneDrive folder and in the OneDrive online cloud? 2. If I "Unlink this PC" - what happens to all the files with the green checkmark? They are kept in the OneDrive online cloud? They are deleted from the local OneDrive folder? 3. If I download a file from OneDrive online browser then the files "Modified" date is being updated - bad. If I copy a file from the OneDrive folder in Windows to another local folder, then the "Modified" date is unchaged - good. I have only tried this on the same computer. But what if there is 2 computers: Computer 1 copy file A to the Windows OneDrive folder. Computer 2 (another computer) copies file A from Windows OneDrive folder to another local folder - is the "Modified" date unchanged or updated? I know the "Created" and "Accessed" dates are being updated / new when copying file A.

OneDrive for Business is showing I've used 700BG of space. However, I have deleted everything from OneDrive and emptied both levels of recycle bin. Even the OneDrive page that shows you the biggest files in OneDrive is empty. And yet OneDrive claims 700GB are in use. I have NO files. Why is OneDrive showing 700GB used space?Solved43Views0likes2CommentsBlock/prevent specific folders from being sync'ed
As OneDrive admins we would like to block/prevent specific folders from being sync'ed (i.e node_modules), using policies. In the roadmap there is this item: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?id=178292 that was supposed to be rolling by now, any information about its status? ThanksJVA_FontoOct 27, 2025Copper Contributor42Views0likes0CommentsIs it possible to restore a folder to a previous state?
Is there a way to restore a folder to its previous state? For example its state as at one week ago? I see this is possible for individual files, but not for folders. (Maybe the solution is to delete the folder and then look for a version in the onedrive recycle bin - will this work?)Bruce3Oct 26, 2025Copper Contributor21Views0likes2CommentsChanging to Always Keep... changes all folders
Within a folder on OneDrive,there are other folders and files. I want to have some just on the cloud, and always keep some on my computer. When I click on Always Keep On This Computer, all the other folders at that folder level also change to Always Keep On This Computer. I'm not talking about the contents of the folder (which I'd expect to change), I'm talking about the folders at the same level as the one I change. Also, I have a couple of folders and files that show the white checked status icon in windows explorer (as opposed to the solid green one). The right click list shows a check on those for Always Keep on this computer. Why don't they have the solid green status icon? They don't even change in the situation described above.Jeff_LeitesOct 25, 2025Copper Contributor69Views2likes2Commentshow do I add a Windows 11 onedrive shared folder on my Mac Finder Sidebar?
I know how to add my own Mac OneDrive shared folders to my Finder's Sidebar on my own Mac using the Mac Onedrive app. I don't want to use a browser to view and share files.TopKick7Oct 23, 2025Copper Contributor18Views0likes0CommentsRequest to Update Onedrive Mass File Deletion Prompt
Hello, Onedrive ran out of cloud storage space for this person. It then popped up a prompt to delete several thousand files, with zero background information. Are these files simply older versions of files in the Onedrive cloud? Are they local files on the C drive? This is a pretty loaded question to ask a person without providing any background information. This information would ideally be provided in an accurate summary format, IE: "to free up cloud storage space, Onedrive recommends deleting these older version files, all of which will still have a more recent version remaining in the cloud AFTER the deletion." On a related note, it would be really nice if there were a few automated script actions that could be made available in the online web interface to Onedrive to help people clear up space, like "delete all but the most recent X versions of files within directory OnedriveRoot:/this/is/the/path" Thanks, A frustrated IT support dudeverbatimOct 23, 2025Copper Contributor8Views0likes0CommentsOnedrive file sync issue
I just recently had an issue where my files were not synced because i had run out of onedrive storage space so i just got rid of a bunch of unnecessary files sitting around which freed up a ton of space. The files still werent synced so i resett one drive to sync them back up but when i did that it just restored the files i had just deleted. I kept trying over and over again but the same kept happening and now i cant sycn my files. Ive tried everything, restarted my computer. Reinstalled onedrive but its all not working and my files and folders wonf sync. What do i do to fix this?MantismalOct 21, 2025Copper Contributor147Views1like2Comments
