Default Versioning Settings - Number of Versions to retain
It appears that the default versioning settings for OneDrive are for 500 major versions. Is there a way to reduce this default globally? It doesn't appear so via the GUI but was wondering if perhaps there was a way to set this via powershell?
What does the archive experience for OneDrive look like after the change to unlicensed accounts?
Based on this change, OneDrive accounts will be set to archive: Unlicensed OneDrive accounts subject to a retention policy, retention period, or legal hold will be automatically archived after 93 days of license removal. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/unlicensed-onedrive-accounts#enforcement-of-policy-changes-for-unlicensed-onedrive-accounts To test the experience, we attempted to run the PowerShell script used to archive a SharePoint site to a OneDrive site: Set-SPOSiteArchiveState https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-online/set-spositearchivestate?view=sharepoint-ps However, it does not appear that a OneDrive site type is supported with this script. Does anyone know what "archived" actually means in the context of a OneDrive account? Also, what will the experience be both from a user perspective and from an admin perspective? In SharePoint, there's a message indicating the site is in an archived state and admins can see a list of all archived sites via the admin center. I think a lot of confusion would be avoided if OneDrive "sites" appeared in a list like SharePoint sites do within the SharePoint admin center. Thank you!
Can I Use OneDrive to Share PowerPoint Files With a Broad Audience
I am a recently retired professor. Several years ago, I wrote an introductory Statistics textbook called Clear-Sighted Statistics. This work is an OER (Open Educational Resource). It is available on the CUNY Commons and the U of South Florida OER website. This work has 19 chapters. Each chapter has Excel files. To date, this work has over 40,000 downloads. Unfortunately, I am not able to upload my PowerPoint lecture files to the two OER websites mentioned above. These files are such too large. My Questions: 1) Is it possible for me to use OneDrive to share this OER's 19 PowerPoint files with a large audience when I do not know who I am sharing with? I have 1TB of storage space that I get with the Microsoft 365 subscription that I buy. (As a retiree, my university no longer gives me a subscription.) 2) My work has a Creative Commons license. I want people to download my PowerPoints. I allow people to share derivatives of my work for non-commercial purposes only as long as they give me attribution. But I do not want anyone to change the files that exist on OneDrive, nor do I want them to add any files on my OneDrive site. How do I do this? Thanks, in advance, for your suggestions. Tiki-10025Unlicensed OneDrive User Accounts - MS licensing changes?
I recently reviewed this article on changes to unlicensed OneDrives (departed users): Manage unlicensed OneDrive user accounts We currently have the user's OneDrive retention for deleted users set to 730 days. This allows for plenty of time to restore/recover/review data on a departed user's OneDrive. Looking at the Microsoft article, this now means that we would be charged for data retention over 93 days, since the OneDrive will be archived. We don't have Microsoft 365 Archive enabled, but if seems if we want to retain deleted OneDrives past 93 days, we need to do this. Has anyone done this? I don't want this to become prohibitively expensive for us. I assume that if we don't subscribe to MS Archive, the retention period is ignored and the OneDrives are deleted anyway? Comments welcome.
Pdf files not syncing to OneDrive
Greeting all, Seeking any advice you may have to resolve the problem I am having: > pdf files on my old computer are NOT syncing / showing up on OneDrive online (web), and thus not accessible from my new computer (Lenovo Yoga, Windows 11), despite having the same Microsoft OneDrive account activated on both devices... Word, powerpoint, excel all seem to be syncing... just not pdfs? I've tried unlinking both computers from OneDrive several times, with no effect. All files sync successfully, EXCEPT for pdf? I CAN manually upload a pdf document to OneDrive online, which then appears in the OneDrive of both devices... but existing local folder pdfs don't upload/sync automatically. Thanks in advance for any tips you have!

So basically, looking for ways to easily setup restrictions do Microsoft entra hybrid joined, Microsoft entra registered, Microsoft Entra joined. Just not seeing a clear-cut way to restrict.
OneDrive Issues
The OneDrive on my laptop isn't allowing me to upload any files as it is saying I don't have any storage available, but when I open OneDrive on the browser, it shows more than sufficient storage as I pay the subscription fee. Is there any reason as to why this is happening? I have contacted Microsoft support, which have been no help at all, giving solutions to problems which is not the issue I'm experiencing. The Microsoft support page is no help at all and trying to raise a support ticket is more or less impossible as the website keeps blocking the request. Now bear in mind i have went again and paid the subscription fee now for a second time to see if this fixed the problem, and no luck, took the money and no difference. I have uninstalled OneDrive from my laptop, I have reset the onedrive, i have tried all imaginable tasks, with no help from Microsoft Support. Does anyone have any solutions to this? Also, would anyone know how to get in contact to get the refund for the duplicate subscription fee?Unlink OneDrive folder in Windows 10
Hello I have problem with OneDrive. User is not signed in OneDrive but the folder 'C:\Users\%username%\OneDrive - My Org' exist and you can browse all file names and open files which are cached locally. I have found out that you can clear saved user credentials by deleteing this json file (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/clear-onedrive-cached-credentials-5b7d944e-89ce-4fbd-812c-a1d93645cfd1) but this does not help because the user is not logged in OneDrive. del /q /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\PreSignInSettingsConfig.json" In this document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/troubleshoot/sync/onedrive-local-folder-name-not-updated it's guided to unlink the user account from OneDrive Settings but this cannot be done because user is not logged in OneDrive. I have also deleted this reg key as suggested in the document but this this did not help. reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive" /f 2>nul Only solution so far have been backing up all files, then removing the whole user profile but this is not practical. I would like to unlink the OneDrive by using PowerShell or a batch file.
