2079 TopicsCan'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.34Views0likes1CommentSubfolders 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?19Views0likes1CommentCan 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.Solved99Views1like2CommentsMissing 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?495Views2likes5CommentsAfter 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.65Views0likes1CommentTrouble Putting 2nd One Drive on Windows Explorer
Hello: I have several computers. On my first computer, when I open file explorer, it shows TWO separate instances of OneDrive, one personal and one for my company (See illustration). On a second computer, I was setting up One Drive, and the only option it gives me is my Personal One Drive link in file explorer. I tried just about everything to add the second one drive (Office 365) link to my file explorer, but could not make it happen. How can I accomplish having both one drives in file explorer as shown in the illustration? Thanks!

My company is experiencing an intermittent problem where sometimes a OneDrive for Business file shared with the setting "Anyone with this link can edit" prompts the user the file is being shared with to request access. If the user tries to open the file a second time, they can then access the file without requesting access. We're wondering why that access request prompt sometimes happens and how to prevent it. It doesn't happen consistently, so we're having trouble reproducing and troubleshooting it. Has anyone seen this before and know how to fix it?123KViews6likes116CommentsOneDrive folders when switching to a new computer
Hi All Let me first explain what I have setup I have created my OneDrive on my computer to sync only selected folders to my SD card. (Many reasons and I have found this very useful) I customized the OneDrive location using this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/install-onedrive-on-an-external-drive-6307e24b-d7a4-493f-bf43-47345b2c11fe I now have a new computer and will be just moving this SD card over and all my data should be there and ready to go. I have only selected some of the OneDrive folders to sync and of them some of it is made locally available so I can work on them even if I am off line (like traveling on a plane with no internet) or am in the woods or very remote locations where I get no connectivity. Now to the question I plan to setup my new computer with the SD card and hopefully can follow the article (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/install-onedrive-on-an-external-drive-6307e24b-d7a4-493f-bf43-47345b2c11fe) and once more link up the SD card (with all the information it has locally) Where does Windows 10/OneDrive store information about which are the folder I have selected and what to do with them? I cannot find this information and maybe I do not need it - unsure about this. If I do as stated in article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/install-onedrive-on-an-external-drive-6307e24b-d7a4-493f-bf43-47345b2c11fe with the old SD card in my new computer will I be up and running or is there something I should follow to make this work well. Remember I cannot have the SD card in two locations to know the information. Any guidance or pointers from any one who has done this would be very helpful. I wish MS helps people who want to customize or adapt things by giving more clear instruction on how they design or document so people can customize. I struggle with this and how MS does their software. While on OneDrive - anyone written batch files on the computer to create onedrive folders, then share it with users along with setting expiration dates? These can be done on the browser, but one folder at a time with clickoholic interface and it gets repetitive very quickly if you have to do this for 40 students every semester - Of course MS has not way of doing this at all (at least to my knowledge and my reading)139Views0likes3CommentsShortcuts to Folders Synced Between Two Computer Desktops
I have OneDrive installed on a work desktop and a laptop I use at home and when traveling. I sync the desktop between both machines. I want to have a shortcuts on my desktops that open OneDrive folders. This previously worked fine for me. But I recently had to reinstall OneDrive and I am unable to configure it properly now. The shortcut works on one machine or the other, but not both. If I create the shortcut on the desktop it works correctly there, but not on the laptop. If I create it on the laptop, it won't work on the desktop. The failing "folder" looks like this: Because the file path is slightly different (because of unique usernames) I tried using a variable instead: "C:\Users\%username%\OneDrive - Company Name\Work Files" But that still didn't solve the problem. Can someone help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!129Views0likes1Comment
