Hide spesific folder from OneDrive synk all users
We have a cloud application that uses the user's OneDrive while they are working with documents. These files are stored in a specific folder and are removed when the user checks in the files through the application. However, it seems the application does not handle users checking in files while they are syncing. I’ve looked into policies and settings in SharePoint Online and Intune, but I haven’t found a way to exclude the folder for all users. The only solution so far seems to be guiding users to do this manually. Is there really no other way to achieve this?
“OneDrive Storage Spike – Backend Audit Needed”).
My OneDrive usage has jumped from 276 GB to nearly 1 TB in under 30 days, yet my visible files total only ~66.5 GB on my PC and in my web OneDrive. I’ve: Emptied the recycle bin Deleted version history Verified no shared libraries or backups Confirmed that local and cloud file views match Despite this, the Admin Center shows 0.9 TB used, and I’m unable to open a service request. The Support Assistant bot is the only option available, and it does not escalate to a live agent. I need a backend audit to identify any hidden, orphaned, or misreported data inflating my quota. Please escalate this to a support engineer who can investigate the issue.After reinstallation OneDrive, the backup cannot be made due to another cloud service in Windows 11?
Hello everyone, I'm a Dutch Windows 11 user with the following problem: Since one of my Microsoft accounts has been disabled for private usage on my home pc I removed that account and it's folder from my local userprofile in Windows. Note: There was no other way removing it since I could not logon anymore. Even before that account was disabled the Explorer in Windows 11 is extremely slow. Taking about 30 seconds to open or browse files and folders. I found multiple people describing this issue on the internet. I tried running: "OneDrive.exe /reset" (as mentioned in the https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/reset-onedrive-34701e00-bf7b-42db-b960-84905399050c) to fix this problem with no result. I also tried running "wsreset.exe" (https://support.microsoft.com/nl-nl/office/onedrive-opnieuw-instellen-34701e00-bf7b-42db-b960-84905399050c?WT.mc_id=365AdminCSH_Smc) also with no result. At last I removed OneDrive from my pc. Deinstalling it, then rebooted my pc and reinstalled it. That resulted in the following (from Dutch translated) error: "Your Pictures folder in OneDrive can't be backed up because it contains other cloud storage. Disable cloud service syncing in this folder and try again." aakt van uw afbeeldingen-map in OneDrive omdat deze een andere cloudopslag bevat. Schakel de cloudservice synchronisatie in deze map uit en probeer het opnieuw". Since there seemed no way to remove the 'other' cloudservice. Hey I removed OneDrive to install it again. I decided to remove OneDrive agian from my pc by deinstalling it. After rebooting my pc I also removed all OneDrive foders from my %UserProfile% (I have a back-up on USB), then reinstalling OneDrive. You might guessed it, and yes your right I got the same error again! Apparently there is no supportpage on this error so I post it here. Maybe someone here knows it and can provide me with a solution? Thanks in advance! PS. I also have Apple's iCloud running on my pc, I also removed and reinstalled that program without problem thinking it might be the "other cloudservice" mentioned in the error. I use OneDrive for bussiness (School-Microsoft-account) this error I get is on my personal (non-bussiness) MS-account.How to color folders in OneDrive and File Explorer

Subfolders not staying on top in one particular OneDrive directory only (web based)
My boss and I both have Microsoft 365 for Business subscriptions. I access my OneDrive through Windows Explorer/File Manager, and I access his OneDrive online via Microsoft Online/Sharepoint (signed in as him). He accesses his OneDrive through Windows Explorer/File Manager on his PC. Everything works normally on his PC as far as how files and directories are displayed. Everything works normally when I access his OneDrive via MS Online, except for one particular subdirectory in his main directory for storing client files. Normally, with his OneDrive sorted Alphabetical Ascending, all of his subdirectories look like this, with sub-subdirectories on top in alphabetical order, and then files underneath in alphabetical order: But one of his subdirectories instead looks like this, with sub-subdirectories commingled with files, in alphabetical order: What on earth is going on, and is there some way to fix this? There's little point in having sub-subdirectories if I can't get them to display above the files, rather than being commingled. There are too many files and if I need to get to, for example, a sub-subdirectory called "Miscellaneous" it takes forever to scroll down to it. Can anyone help with this?Can we 'turn off' new OneDrive shortcut naming convention due to causing long filename backup fail
Microsoft has changed the default OneDrive folder naming convention to now include 'SITE NAME' - 'FOLDER NAME'. In our case, we create a dedicated SharePoint 'Project' (Site) and a few 'Document Libraries' within the Site for each project. The 'Document Libraries' include different permissions for external sharing and differing user purpose. The recent change now means that all linked OneDrive folders include extremely long names similar to the following: We also back up Sharepoint and also individual user computers on an external Windows server. However, the Windows system only permits a maximum total file path name of 256 characters. In the example above the addition of the duplicate '- 10092 Traralgon HV Maintenance' has added 32 un-needed characters to all file paths on the Windows machine and we are seeing multiple backup failures of individual files as a result. This appears as a very short-sighted 'forced' change by Microsoft OneDrive which is in direct conflict with Microsoft Windows machines?? The short question is whether there is any way to turn off the automated addition. We can manually remove the extra text and OneDrive - SharePoint syncing continues to work perfectly. However, this manual change must be made on each machine for each project which is not a viable solution. Similar folder naming was addressed previously but in reverse: 'Add shortcut to OneDrive' no longer includes site name in shortcut - just library name | Microsoft Community Hub https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5220424/why-does-add-shortcut-to-onedrive-library-change-t I'm surprised that there appears to be no other persons raising this as a concern which leads me to think that perhaps we are doing something unique or others simply haven't noticed the issue?? We have attempted to 'fix' the issue from within our Sharepoint 'flow' script (used to set up each project SITE), but without success. This folder naming appears driven by OneDrive, not SharePoint. Thanks in advance.
Can't Open Draw.io In oneDrive
When I click the Open button on a .drawio file stored in SharePoint/OneDrive, I only get the screen shown in the screenshot below. It asks me to download the file, but does not give me an option to open it online. I would like to know: How can I open and edit .drawio files directly in SharePoint/OneDrive (without downloading them to my local computer)? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
Missing OneDrive options in classic context menu - Windows 11 24H2
HI A few days ago, OneDrive options have gone from the Context Menu (classic - I didn't go back to a new context menu). That happened on two computers OneDrive version 25.149 (I enabled preview as I thought it may solve the problem, the issue happened once I was on the production version) I found an old topic there with registry key deleting, but I don't have these keys. My menu looks that: No option for OneDrive - share, download, save on disk, previous version. OneDrive is set to files on demand. Is there any option to restore this option? Without resetting OneDrive/reinstalling it?
