Windows OneDrive folder and file properties
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. Thank you
How To Turn Off OneDrive for Business Backup If you Can't Login?
I have a friend who's laptop she used for both personal and work, she has now left the company and one drive for business she has installed on her machine will no longer login due to her works Microsoft account being closed. The issue I have is that she had chosen to backup her Desktop, Documents and Pictures folder to Onedrive, this means these folders have been moved from C:\Users\Username\ to Onedrive, Normally if I wanted to turn off Onedrive backup and restore these folders back to her local drive, I would open OneDrive Settings and Select Manage backup and then turn off backup for these folders, which would restore the Desktop, Documents and Pictures folder back to the Local Drive (ie C:\Users\username\). As I am unable to login to OneDrive I cannot get to the Manage Backup Option in Settings. Does anyone know how I can restore the Location of the Desktop, Documents and Pictures folder without going to Settings in OneDrive?I don't know how OneDrive works (sync): delete a file, it deletes from everywhere (not backup)
Hello. Thank you all. I post this example because I don't know if I'm missing a step or I'm wrong about how OneDrive works and what for. If get synchronized with OneDrive for Photos folder (and its subfolders), it works good and photos from my cellphone are stored in device gallery and uploaded to OneDrive as expected. iF I delete one photo from my device, or to delete one photo in the Windows/PC, it deletes from OneDrive and all the Synchro Devices (as expected). How can I save my local files with a backup on OneDrive, deleting them from my PC or device folder and still have a "backup" stored in OneDrive? thank you again !
Undoing unsuccessful Onedrive 'backup'
Hello, As far as I can tell, this has been asked but not satisfactorily answered. My workplace encourages us to use OneDrive, and I need to move to a new laptop soon, so I thought I should finally accede. After seeing my colleagues struggle with syncing, I was happy to see a 'backup' tool instead. I checked the box to back up my Documents folder, which was then about 110 GB. I received no warnings about syncing to the OneDrive folder on my local machine (which I already use for a couple of separate projects) or redirection of my Documents path. After a day of file transfers, I realised that my disk space was being eaten up by a copy of the Documents folder in the OneDrive folder. The size of that Documents folder was now 110 GB, while my original Documents folder was now 95 GB. There were important files missing, so I tried a couple of things (such as turning sync off/on), but the situation is still basically the same. I would like to unroll this mess, but I have no idea whether there is a single complete version of my files either in the original location, in the OneDrive folder or online (where the Details tab says the Documents folder is 52 GB). Please help! I just want to go back to knowing where my files are. Thanks, Rose
Throttle copying our data
GoodDay community , We are supposed to switch over so that our users end up using OneDrive as their home drives and Copy a lot of large files to Azure Blob. We thought we had everything ready to copy during our testing but our network got so saturated due to the bandwidth consumed. We opened a ticket with MS premier support and our assigned PFE engineer to see how we could throttle Azure Blob and throttle down the copying speed to OneDrive. Microsoft said there was not a way to throttle and our google searches came out with nothing. We are looking for some software that is "reliable" but can throttle copying data to OneDrive and Azure blob. (Azure blob to give you an idea is sucking 80% of our internet connection (just one server). While budget can be an issue, we do not care at this point as long as we can get something reliable. We do not want something that does blackout hours as our operation cannot be interrupted at night. I am hoping we are not the first ones to run into this situation . Notice : my question posted on the other communities , and I still have no dependable answer ! ThanksIs there a way to tell who is using OneDrive for Business Backup
Hello! We have a client asking us - how do we confirm that all the users have OneDrive Backup enabled i.e this section: Yes, we have Endpoint Manager Policy enabeling "backup of known folders" - it shows it is deployed etc. but the client would like confirmation that users in the org have their files in these locations backed up to OneDrive. Any one know if such reporting exists at all? Thank you!
Cannot Stop backup of folder due to errors
In OneDrive settings - Backup tab - Manage backup, I want to unselect or Stop backup of Documents, but this option is not available due to errors. Fixing the errors would involve moving lots of things out of Important Folders that I really don't want to mess with. I do want to exclude Documents from the OneDrive backup. Is there any other way to access this setting?SS1: OneDrive integration with Edge
