OneDrive asks to "Delete these 13888 items?"
We have MS 365 Family with six users. The last few days, in updating one of the PCs with MS 365 Family, maybe two minutes after each restart, I get this message: Microsoft OneDrive Delete these items? Review the 13888 items before they are deleted. You are going to delete [filename], [filename] and 13886 more items (Checkbox) Don't ask again for large number of deletes {Button) Keep 13888 items (Button) Delete all items FYI – I opened this OneDrive and looked in its Recycle Bin, and none of these 13888 items is there. That Recycle Bin is currently empty. I am not at all sure what happens where if (a) I do “Keep 13888 items”, (b) I do “Delete all items” or (c) I check “Don’t ask again for large numbers of deletes”. Does anyone have personal experience with this and knows what happens (and where) for each of these choices? Thanks.
Built an Android app for OneDrive duplicate detection (something I wish Microsoft offered natively)
After years of dealing with duplicate photos and videos in OneDrive, I built a solution and wanted to share it with the community. **The problem:** - Samsung Gallery sync creates duplicates in both "Camera Roll" and "Samsung Gallery" folders - WhatsApp media gets backed up twice (original + shared copy) - App resets/reinstalls trigger re-uploads with "(1)" suffixes - No native duplicate detection in OneDrive **What I built:** OneDrive MediaOps - an Android app that scans for duplicates directly in the cloud. No need to download files to a desktop first. Key features: - Cloud-based scanning (no downloads required) - Algorithm visually identical photos even with different filenames - Preview before deleting - Batch deletion **Why cloud-based matters:** With 50GB+ of photos, downloading everything to run a desktop duplicate finder wasn't practical. This scans media directly via the Graph API. Available on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onedrive.mediaops&pcampaignid=web_share Would love feedback from the community - especially if you've been dealing with the Samsung/OneDrive sync duplicate issue.Synchronization issue with unknown files
Hello. I have synchronization issue with 2 uknown files since 2 years or so. During that period I've restarted synchronization once. It didn't help. The weight of files sometimes changes what suggests that those files are in constant use. I would have excluded them from synchronization, but I can't identify them. There is no place where I could have found the name and location of those files. Does anyone know, by any chance, where are any logs or how to enable them, if they are not enabled by default, to troubleshoot that? Thanks in advance for any help in that matter... and Happy New Year!!How does local OneDrive determine if a local file needs to be updated?
When using multiple computers to edit a OneDrive file, a computer often fails to recognize its local copy needs to be updated, even though the file on all computers is set to "Always keep on this device." This means changes are lost with no conflict error generated. Is the OneDrive algorithm for deciding when to update a local version of a file documented anywhere? Usually when a change is made to a file, it starts uploading to the cloud within seconds. Within several seconds after the changed file is uploaded, other computers will recognize their local copy is outdated and will begin downloading the changed version. That is the expected behavior. But often, that doesn't happen. The outdated version is used to make new changes. Those new changes are uploaded successfully. No conflict warning is generated. The earlier changes are lost forever. I have not found any documentation on how local Windows OneDrive decides if its local version of a file needs to be updated. Is it looking at file size? Timestamps? If timestamps, is there a margin of time sync differences? Does the OneDrive metadata include the source device of the last upload? Not knowing any of this I cannot troubleshoot the problem much beyond establishing that the problem is not with uploading changes. OneDrive local is reliably uploading changes. MD5 hash codes in the cloud match the hash of the changed file on the source computer. I don't have time to jump through hoops with someone at frontline Microsoft support who doesn't know any more about the algorithm than I know in order to get the issue escalated to someone with the information needed to pinpoint the issuse.
Dossiers Document / les sous dossiers et les fichiers sont invisibles sur OneDrive
Bonjour à tous, Sur mon espace OneDrive en ligne le dossier Documents semble vide et pourtant il y 250Go de sauvegardé. Sur mon PC, le dossier Documents est bien complet. Jai tenté quelques manips notamment stopper la synchronisation puis la redémarrer. Rien n’y fait. Merci d’avance pour vos bons conseils et bonne fêtes à tous. Yanick
Over storage problem
Hello, I have Family 365 Office version. I have recently run out of subscription and updated it again with a few weeks delay. The onedrive on my main account is working fine, but one of my family member's account is not updating properly. It still shows that I am over the storage with about 0.2TB files stored whereas the subscription plan allows for 1 TB - see photographs below. Could you please advise what can be done? Many thanks, SuzyFace scan recognition limits?
I was a big fan of adding name tags in photos before, and was eager to have it back. Problem is, I have quite a large number of photos, and onedrive just stopped scanning, being very far from finishing the job. I mean, considering for example the pictures my spouse appears in, one drive started recognizing her in the most ancient photos quite nicely, but stopped somewhere in 2006, and than added just a dozen from the most recent pictures. Yes, I keep taking photos of her meanwhile. Unfortunately it didn't accept help from me, like hey look here, this is a face, and is the face of this person. Any idea if this is just temporary?
