Frustrated One Drive User.
I am new to One Drive. I would love to have my files in the 'cloud' so I can get to them from any computer. Here the problem I am having. My main computer ( a desktop) has a 500 GB SSD drive for my system, programs, etc. which is drive C:. I have all my data stored on a separate 1.0 TB HDD drive. I want to have my data files stored in the 'cloud'. I don't want them on my system drive. For some reason when I put my data into the 'cloud' it makes a copy of the OneDrive on C: and eats up all my available space for the system. What am I doing wrong? Or can this be fixed and I am asking the impossible? Thanks.
There was a problem signing you in
OneDrive says "OneDrive isn't connected" and offers to Sign In. Attempting to do so results in an unhelpful screen that says "There was a problem signing you in" without any explanation. The account works perfectly well if used online from a browser. OneDrive can be accessed with no issues from the browser; it only fails when using the sync app in the local computer. OneDrive was previously working perfectly well on the same computer. The failure to login is a recent occurrence. Things I have already tried: - Unlinking the PC and trying to re-add the account (same error when logging in) - Uninstalling and reinstalling OneDrive - Deleting cached account from the credential manager - Checking for Windows updates - Running sfc /scannow The problem started occurring shortly after applying the latest Windows Update, although I am not sure that both things coincided in time. The computer is running WIndows 10.Latest release for MacOS (23.189.0910.0001) - perpetual re-synchronisation of every file?
Mac Studio Apple M2 Max running latest MacOS 13.5.2 (22G91) Following installation of the latest version of the OneDrive app (23.189.0910.0001), OneDrive did a full re-synchronisation of each file, processing ~280,000 changes. Left the app to do its thing. 12-15 hours later, all files sync'd. Shut down overnight. Rebooted. All good. Shut down overnight. Rebooted. Another full synchronisation.

Brand new DELL machine, OneDrive shortcut in arabic المخزن الشخصي -- How to remove it?
Please see the screenshot. The situation is as this. A new Dell notebook was purchased and initial Windows started. With this, OneDrive was deploying a shortcut, named المخزن الشخصي, in arabic, which relates to the Vault feature. Firstly, no one requested vault to be active or enabled per default. Secondly, deleting this shortcut will re-create it instantly - in the wrong language Vault was disabled online (a very peculiar process btw. - instead of disabling it within the app's settings) - but the character are still wrong and the shortcut cannot be deleted or changed. Please review and, if possible, sketch a solution. Kind Regards
OneDrive folder share with anyone unexpectedly requires signin
Hi Team I have a family subscription of MS365. I wanted to create a file drop for someone else to drop photos into. In a web browser (Brave), I signed into my OneDrive and I created a folder, clicked on the Share icon, then under Copy link, ensured the option was set to Anyone with the link can edit (no expiry or password requirement was set), then clicked on Copy to generate the link. Upon testing this link, I can open the folder and view its content, but when I try to upload by drag/drop or with the upload button, it always redirects to the login page, so the end user needs to create their own MS account or signin into the MS account. Since the note for the option for Anyone says "Share with anyone, doesn't require sign-in", it is unexpected behaviour. I tested this issue on various devices, and with the end user as well and it's the same behaviour. Is there a workaround for this issue?
OneDrive People feature ignores some folders
Despite activating the People feature several months ago, it appears to have overlooked numerous subfolders within my image collection. These folders are organized manually by year and date, with the issue primarily affecting older folders predating approximately 2021. While the feature successfully analyzes and categorizes newer photos, it consistently skips over many earlier folders. Is there a method to compel the OneDrive People feature to include these overlooked folders in its facial recognition analysis?
Issue with adding a folder on external drive as onedrive
Dear All, I've been using OneDrive to back up my data, with the OneDrive folder located on my external SSD. However, after reinstalling OneDrive, it no longer allows me to select a folder on the external SSD. Does anyone know if OneDrive has discontinued this feature or if there's another way to achieve this? Thank you!
Sharing one drive
Hi, I have 1Tb one drive account and am saving all my photos from my samsung phone to there. My husband also has a samsung phone and I want his phone to save his photo to my one drive account as well to keep the photos together. I tried to log in with my email on his account but that would disconnect my phone. Two phones can't be connected to the same onedrive account. How could I save his photo to my one drive account? Thanks
