Why can't i see the settings for OneDrive when i right click on the OneDrive icon in my Taskbar?
Hi there, I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me with this issue that i'm having. I'm trying to access my OneDrive settings because my folders are not syncing. So that i can synchronize them, i know i have to go to my OneDrive settings. When i right click on the OneDrive icon in the taskbar, there is no "settings" option that comes up, which is really weird because i have seen it there before and i know that it should be there. Any help here will be appreciated. Thank you, Sean.

Files On Demand settings lost on a fresh Windows 10 install
Hi All In my company, i use Windows 10 + OneDrive for Business + Files On Demand. The main reason is that i store a loooot of data in OneDriver, most of them i don't need locally and anyway my company laptop hard disk is smaller than the size od data i am allowed store in the cloud. My company IT Dept sometimes need to reinstall out laptops with a fresh Windows 10 install. But in that case, my Files On Demand settings are lost, ie OneDrive on the fresh Windows 10 install will start dowloading again EVERYTHING from the cloud and i have to set-up manually again my folder-by-folder setting of Files On Demand, with is extremely long to do and almost impossible since i can not remember the setting for each folder. It also make the download extremely long for nothing as the vast majority of my data is only needed in the cloud. Is there a way no to loose this Files On Demand setting on a fresh Windows 10 install, ie to have this setting stored not locally on the client side but on the server side ? Most sincerely Gregory

Question about settings for Sync button and modern app authentication
Hi guys I have two questions about the settings which is possible to configure over ODFB admin portal: Setting: Sync > Checkbox "Show the Sync button on the OneDrive website" Question: What is the sense behind this option? Let's say I will uncheck this option and the Sync button will get hidden. So the use will not be able to start local synchronization over web. OK But if he still would like, he could (even this button is hidden) do the synchronization by downloading the client and enter his credentials. Provided of course, that the local synchronization if allowed. --------- Setting: Device access > allow access from apps that don't use modern authentication Question: This is more a general quesiton. So which apps could have access? Do you have some examples? Is there also an store with apps which could be integrated in Office 365 or OneDrive For Business? I'm asking this quesiton because I have never seen apps like that. Maybe you have some examples. Thanks in advance.
