Can OneDrive mobile sync a specific local folder on Android or iOS?
Hi, I would like to understand what is officially supported regarding folder synchronization in the OneDrive mobile app on Android and iOS. Specifically: - Is it possible to select a specific local folder on a mobile device and configure OneDrive mobile to automatically sync that folder? - Or does the OneDrive mobile app only support manual uploads and limited automatic features such as camera roll backup? I am looking for an official clarification on the supported behavior of OneDrive on mobile devices. Thank you.
OneDrive for Business sync client issue - not finishing
Hi all, I’m experiencing an issue where OneDrive does not finish synchronizing. It runs for about an hour. Upload is not starting until download worked fine. Everything seems to set up correctly: Internet connection is working No large file involved (9,9 MB of 10,3 MB) Logged in sucessfully Free space available loacally and in OneDrive No sync conflicts E3 License is active and paid No Windows updates Pending (Windows 11, version 24H2) Tried solutions: Restarted OneDrive Restarted Windows Paused and resumed sync Stopped and restarted sync What i am wondering: My local OneDrive version is not listed in the https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/office/onedrive-versionshinweise-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0 .... How can I identify the specific file causing the issue? I don’t see the filename currently being processed. Help highly appreciated :-) Regards, Eric".tmp.driveupload"
I am having an issue where my word doc (set to autosave to OneDrive business desktop app) on my PC is suddenly saved in a ".tmp.driveupload" folder online under a different file name (random numbers), with autosave switched off. If I do not notice this happening, the change to the document is not saved under the expected folder and file name, resulting in no change made to the file I opened. The only workaround I've found is to "save a copy" and overwrite the file I opened in the original folder. This only works if I notice the sudden name change and file save in the tmp folder. If I don't, the changes are lost because the tmp file is deleted (to recycle bin) on exit and the tmp folder is not synced to my PC. I have to go online to the OneDrive business website, guess which file it may be, restore that from the OneDrive recycle bin, and hope it is the file I was looking for. The frequency of this happening means that there are numerous tmp files under pseudo file names to scour through. One-hour plus on the phone with MS Office subscription support is of no help.
Force OneDrive/Excel to return the local file path instead of a cloud URL
Hello, I have all my 3D models stored in a OneDrive-synced folder, including the Excel file that controls many of the model parameters. I work on three different PCs, so using OneDrive for synchronization would be ideal. However, my modeling software Solid Edge runs into a specific issue: it does find the linked Excel file in the OneDrive-synced folder and attempts to open it, but as soon as it tries to read the parameters, it gets stuck in an endless loop. The reason is that Excel no longer provides a normal local Windows file path for the workbook—even though the file is fully available offline. Instead, Excel exposes the OneDrive/SharePoint URL, and Solid Edge cannot process this URL, which causes the loop. What I have tried so far: Enabled “Keep files on this device” for the entire project folder Completely shut down OneDrive (disabled it and killed all OneDrive processes in Task Manager) Tried changing the stored Excel path inside Solid Edge from a local path to the OneDrive URL — Solid Edge does not accept URLs as valid paths None of these attempts solved the issue. If anyone has a reliable method to make Solid Edge read a OneDrive-synced Excel file as a local file path, I would really appreciate your help.OneDrive error code 0x8004de26
We are a school system and are having an issue with our OneDrive app not allowing us to sign in. Things had been working until about 2 weeks ago and things stopped. We are having the issue across multiple users. We are on Windows 11 laptops and desktops and are trying to sign into the app to get items saved in on the desktop to syn with OneDrive accounts in the cloud. The sign-in process either simply spins or we get error code0x8004de26. I am wondering if anyone has resolved the same issue or has ideas? Thank you.
OneDrive Personal folder redirecting to OneDrive Enterprise
I am having a new issue with my work computer (AD registered) that has been working correctly for about five years with both my O365 and my personal OneDrive accounts. Both OneDrive folders are unique to each other in the root of my user folder, they are not sharing a common directory / folder and they have unique names too. (noted as problem for some users) However something has occurred in the last month (not sure of precise date) where my personal OneDrive account stopped syncing correctly. It will not upload or download files. It indicates it's synchronized but if you change files in the cloud or on the local machine it will not actually transfer anything. I tried performing a link and unlink and also tried performing a onedrive.exe /reset and neither has worked to restore operation. When relinking OneDrive it will pop up an error message saying "we're having trouble connecting to the onedrive service" when it's starting it's linking process and shows the initial folders to potentially be backed up (which I'm not using on this machine). So one thing I noticed during my troubleshooting is that if I double-click on my Personal OneDrive folder it redirects to my Enterprise OneDrive folder. I'm wondering if some kind of loop is being created, even though each OneDrive account has a unique folder that has a unique name it keeps redirecting to the Enterprise folder. I'm wondering during startup is the same thing happening and the OneDrive Personal instance is getting redirected too and creating some kind of weird loop or something? I've even tried exiting the OneDrive Enterprise client while the OneDrive Personal client is starting and still the same result. I'm totally stumped at this point...
Onedrive continously signing out
Hi, I wondered if anyone can help.... Onedrive used to sync files from MS Teams Sharepoint like a dream until about 10 days ago. Now the desktop client seems to drop connection constantly as though the network is droppoing or firewall is blocking things.... Before I started there, I thought I would ask if anyone else has had this recently.... Nothing I do makes OneDrive stay signed in.... I have already ensured my Dell 7310 is fully up to date on Bios and software. Signed out of MS Teams, O365, Onedrive Cleared cache from C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\OneDrive Full shutdown, restart, login everywhere and OneDrive signs in sees 15 changes and signs out..... I have even unlinked the laptop, done the above again, relinked the laptop, it syncs and then signs out..... Has anyone got any ideas??Avast Antivirus False Positive for OneDrive Files?
Avast free version on a 32 bit Windows 10 machine keeps popping up that it's quarantining 2 files on OneDrive. I close the dlg box, and it pops up again. It says the files are located in C:\OneDrive\Temp\S-1-5-21-1654843628-3381493285-3727955867-1001\ I can't see the files (I think) because Avast keeps throwing them into the Virus Chest. But I've attached screen cap of Avast alert details where it shows 2 files with really long names and .temp extension. I'm guessing that the 2 "threats" are false positives and that OneDrive simply creates them for sync or other purposes. Any way to find out if OneDrive creates this kind of file at this location? Only other possibly related thing was that while sync'ing OneDrive on the same day that Avast started popping up, OneDrive flagged a virus in a file that has lived on my drive for months at least. It was in a totally different directory. I did delete it and sync continued fine. The file was "FoxitReader901_enu_Setup_Prom.exe" and was sitting in my Download directory. I'll attach a screen grab of that too. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Allowing External Access
Hi guys, I want to allow guest external access for the folder. I followed the guide and video posted by Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/solutions/collaborate-on-documents?view=o365-worldwide I changed the setting in the SharePoint settings, in the identity settings, and I even changed the default permission from edit to view. The only change that went through is the default permission. When I go to my OneDrive and share something, the default is now view; however, I still can't share anything outside my organisation. Can anyone help me find out why? Does it take time for the settings to be pushed? Hope someone can help me.
