Modification loss in excel files hosted on OneDrive
On December 4th I discovered losses of modifications in some files. When opening an Excel file I often work with, I was suprised since I was sure I added some lines into it a few days ago. I looked at version history and found a strange behaviour on December 4th: several versions on 29th November 15:06 with the same size. One of the 3 versions of 29th November 15:06 seem to be the latest in terms of modifications, even the size was similar. So I manually recovered this one. I did the same on a 2nd excel file to confirm the issue. Other files may be impacted. How can that happen? Could it be a ntp issue leading OneDrive not to know which version is the latest? I opened a case at MS support, but they closed the case w/o resolution. They even didn't try to understand the issue, just sending a TN how to restore a version of a file. But first I need to identify all the impacted files, then to find the correct version. I can't do these actions manually on hundred or maybe thousands of files. How could I proceed? Do u think it is related to Excel or OneDrive or to sthg else?
Photo comments not backup to OneDrive
I frequently add comments/descriptions to the pictures in my Android and iPhone, however after spending a few nights backing up my albums, I found out only the photo files are uploaded and no comments are included. Is there a way to upload with comments or is that a limitation of OneDrive?
OneDrive Windows 11 App Synch Problem
Hello, My OneDrive synchronization app for Windows 11 no longer synchronizes, it gets stuck at a finished download (26.9GB of 26.9GB at 0.0 Kb/s) and does not continue. An upload didn't work (anymore) either, I cleared or moved the storage space, but nothing happened in the app. I have logged into the app again and everything has to be synchronized, but as I said, it is now stuck during the download. I have read and tried a lot on the Internet, such as the reset, which somehow sometimes works temporarily but on the whole only takes time with the amount of data, is there no easier reset or cache clearing option? or is my plan with the sharing of folders from 2 family subscriptions and 11 Microsoft accounts on 1 main account for up to 12 TB of data simply too much? MFG ----------------------------------------- German Version: Hallo, Meine OneDrive Synchronisations App für Windows 11 Synchronisiert nicht mehr, er bleibt bei einem fertigen Download (26.9GB von 26.9GB bei 0,0 Kb/s) hängen und macht nicht mehr weiter. Ein Upload hat ursprünglich auch nicht (mehr) geklapptn, Ich habe den Speicherplatz zwar freigeräumt bzw. verschoben, aber es passierte in der App nichts. Ich habe mich erneut in der App angemeldet und es muss alles synchronisiert werden, bleibt aber wie gesagt jetzt bei dem Download hängen. Im Internet habe ich viel dazu gelesen und probiert wie z.b. der reset, was zwar irgendwie manchmal zeitweilig funktioniert aber im großen und ganzen auch nur Zeit bei der Menge der Daten schindet, Gibt es keine einfachere Reset oder Cache leeren möglichkeit? oder ist mein Plan mit dem Teilen von Ordnern von 2 Familien Abos und 11 Microsoft Accounts auf 1 Haupt Account für bis zu 12 TB Daten schlicht zuviel ? MFG
Why are all the files I copy in OneDrive only in OneDrive ?
Hi. I recently copy all my documents in OnDrive for save, because I am writting my PhD thesis and want some saves. The problem is that I wanted to keep my files in normal files, on my computer, and have a copy in One Drive. But now, each and every files that I copy are only in OneDrive. Each files of my computer are now sync with OneDrive. But I want to keep files on my computer and copy them in OneDrive only when I want to, not automatically because now I don't have any normal files on my computer. How can I repair this ? Thank you in advance,OneDrive Direct Download Link
Hi all, My Problem and Question This question pertains to OneDrive for personal use. Microsoft recently made a change to the link format from the embed feature and made my direct download links obsolete. I would retrieve these links from the embed feature in OneDrive and the links looked like what's shown below. The link would directly serve the file to whomever accessed it without them ever having to interact with OneDrive. With the changes Microsoft recently made to OneDrive, is there a new way of getting links that have this functionality? Old link format (no longer works): https://onedrive.live.com/download?resid=XXXXXXXXXXX&authkey=XXXXXXXXXXX My Own Digging I've scoured several forums unable to find any solutions. I have found a temporary solution; however, the links generated via this method only have temporary authentication, so they expire after a day. Perhaps it could be a real solution if I could figure out how to get a permanent auth token for a personal OneDrive file. I'm retrieving the link from the GET request when clicking the download button on a file from a publicly shared link. Link format: https://my.microsoftpersonalcontent.com/personal/{resid}/_layouts/15/download.aspx?UniqueId=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&Translate=false&tempauth=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&ApiVersion=2.0 Thank you to anyone that has input!Opening OneDrive files from Finder on Mac does not enable Autosave like on Windows.
Hello all. I am having an issue with using OneDrive on Mac. If I open a file, say a Word doc or PowerPoint, on OneDrive through Finder, the Autosave feature will not be on by default. If I do the same action on Windows through file explorer, it opens with Autosave turned on. When I try to turn on Autosave in Word, it prompts me to upload a new version onto OneDrive. This would make a new copy. And that new copy, if opened from Finder, still will not have autosave turned on. However, when I open the file from within the Word application or Excel or PowerPoint, autosave is turned on automatically. I would like for files opened from my OneDrive folder in Finder to open with Autosave turned on by default. This is how it works on Windows.
Can I delete data on my computer after transferring it to OneDrive?
I just started using our Microsoft 365 account. I want to collect my current files in a single archive. I have 1TB of memory on Onedrive. Is it okay if I delete all the data from my computer after transferring it to OneDrive? Or does all my data have to be on both OneDrive and my computer?
Recent files
Recent files show files have been accessed today within minutes of this message. I have not accessed these files in most cases in months and in some cases years. I have tried Microsoft support but they haven't been able to help. Example: I have a word document called AC placement. I have not opened that document in more than a month. In the Recent area it shows that I accessed that document at 3:20 PM today, minutes before this post. I have excel document callled Sprinklers which I have not opened in 6 months. It lists ti as opened on 10/19/2023 at 12:10 PM. I am trying to understand if there is a probelm with oneDrive or is someone else accessing my documents through oneDrive.
