I lose Sharepoint sync
We have all company files shared in SharePoint and synced with OneDrive. Lately it has happened to us that some users, not all, suddenly have the synchronization fail, all at the same time, with a Onedrive notification appearing on the desktop saying "Folder was deleted. Folder will stop synchronizing. A copy of these files will be left on the PC". If the user doesn't realize it, they are still working on the files, but they are not syncing to SharePoint. Why could this be happening?
Syncing Sharepoint files using OneDrive on Windos Server 2019
Hi everyone. We are a small office and use Sharepoint in Microsoft 365 to keep our office files. We have an on-premises Windows Server 2019 server and is currently using OneDrive to sync Sharepoint files to the server. The folder that was created by OneDrive on the server is also being shared to all PCs in our office mapped as the J drive. We are using Active Directory. So, users can do changes to the files or create new ones from their PCs using the J drive and they get uploaded/updated to Sharepoint when OneDrive syncs the files. This part is working good as expected. The issue we are having is that there are 4 employees that work remotely so we shared the SharePoint folders with them and they installed OneDrive directly on the computers to get access to the SharePoint folders. If one of these 4 users creates a folder, this folder gets downloaded with the parent folder permissions on our on-premises server. But, if one of these 4 users adds a file, this file is being downloaded with Administrator permissions only so no one in the office can see the files until someone manually changes the file permissions on the server to allow users to get access to the file. We have tried almost everything we can think of to try to give the right permissions to the files downloaded from OneDrive but with no success yet. I would really appreciate any recommendations.Sharepoint synchronization issues
Hello all, for a project we chose Sharepoint 365 as data storage and created a link from the Documents library to OneDrive, so all data stored in Documents is synchronized with the users device (about 30 users are working in this project and are synchronizing this data). In the Documents library currently there are about 11000 folders (in the root) with subfolders and files each folder. The problem is, that changes are synchronized veeeeeery slowly. When a user creates a file/folder oder changes a file/folder locally it takes hours to days(!) until the change is synchronized to Sharepoint (online). We see, that the OneDrive app is searching and detecting changes, synchronizing changes and finishes synchronization, but the change is not synchronized, also the file/folder is still tagged with the "pending synchronization" icon. OneDrive restart, Windows reboot, nothing helps.. Sometime later (hours to days) the change is synchronized, but now other users have the problem, that this change needs to be synchronized with them and this process also can take hours to days. The problem concerns all users that are working in this project. So, all users are cery frustrated and we have no idea, what we can do. We hope there is someone who knows possible solutions. We use Win11, OneDrive 24.091.0505.0003, Sharepoint 365, 1Gb Internet connection Regards Florian
OneDrive: Unable to add shortcut for shared files under "My Files"
There are certain files that are shared with me in SharePoint. I have the editable rights for these files.I need to access these files in tableau. So I am trying to create a shortcut of these files so that the shared files are accessible through "My Files" folder in Tableau. I am referring to this Microsoft link but i am not getting the option "Add shortcut to OneDrive". https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-and-sync-shared-folders-to-onedrive-8a63cd47-1526-4cd8-bd09-ee3f9bfc1504?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us Can someone please help and advise what is wrong here.Can't resync between cloud and desktop
I have eight SharePoint Directories synced to my Desktop File Explorer (also known as OneDrive sync when initiating the sync function from the browser). Over the past month, 3 of those directories have come up with error messages that were only resolved by 'stopping sync'. Now, I can't sync them again as when I try to sync from the SharePoint directory in the browser, I get an error message saying "Sorry, we can't sync this folder. You're already syncing a shortcut to a folder from this shared library." Except, I'm not! The folder does not show the cloud icon on the desktop version (to confirm that its syncing) and the folder does not show up in my list of synced directories to restart sync (screenshot attached, taken from OneDrive icon/Settings/Account). I've even moved two of the folders into another location and it still says I'm syncing them. Can anyone assist please?
How can I automatically add a SharePoint shortcut to OneDrive as I add members?
Hi, I'm creating Communication Sites to restructure the file-share system, and I'd like to whenever I add members to a SharePoint site to have it as a shortcut on their OneDrive automatically for them. Can it be done via GPO or PowerShell or SharePoint interface? Thank you.
Cannot delete local folder for previously synced SharePoint location
I've got a Mac running MacOS 12.5 and OneDrive sync client version 22.151.0717.0001. OneDrive syncing is working fine, and syncing SharePoint libraries or folders works as well. However, when I STOP syncing a SharePoint location, the shortcut to that location seems to persist in Finder with no way to delete it. When I right/command click the shortcuts, there's no "Move to trash" option. Dragging to the trash does nothing (shows a "do not enter" icon in the trash window). I've quit/restarted OneDrive and tried restarting the computer. The only way to get rid of them is to "reset" OneDrive, which ALSO resets my OneDrive content sync (business and personal), so that's not a practical option for what may be a common practice (stopping syncing and cleaning up). Is there some additional permission or setting that needs to be enabled to delete these "left behind" folders?
