Fresh Win11 install, fresh Office365 install, Onedrive backup no connection to OneDrive-service
Hi community, got a new laptop with win11. fresh installation, Installed Office 365 (family license) as first package. No firewall/Antivirus other backup software installed. Onedrive says it´s connected. But if I start to select folders (documents/pictures) to automatically backup, the feedback is "Problem with connecting to the onedrive-service" File length or file names can´t be the issue, same error if folders are empty (fresh installation) No matter if I´m connected through my router (LAN/WLAN), hotspot on my mobile phone, neighbour´s network. Tried all resetting options Microsoft and web search is giving. No other result. Can anyone help me? trying to reach the support leads to "this support is currently not available"
Unusual behaviour on my PC. Access to all Microsoft services blocked.
One Drive does not connect. Microsoft.com loads on Chrome & Firefox but the link to the Microsoft account login page is dead. Outlook.com does not load at all. Connect to VPN (same country) and access to all Microsoft services reappears. Disconnect from VPN, connect to mobile hotspot (different ISP) and problem appears again. Reinstalled windows and problem persists. Wiped HDD and installed Linux and the unusual behaviour continues on Firefox and Chromium. Weird! All other devices on broadband and mobile internet are behaving normally. Any ideas? Curse? Nation-State?
OneDrive - Mass File Deletion by OneDrive
I noticed in late July/early August that files in my OneDrive folders suddenly vanished. More than 25 years' worth data gone. Close to 300 GB of both personal and business data. Only the files were gone. The folders and file structure remained untouched. My OneDrive space is 2 TB. The Recycle Bin was empty. My OneDrive account has been active since OneDrive started and remains so without interruption. Through the forum community I learned that I am not alone with my frustrations. Microsoft Support scheduled a telephone call. The gentleman who called was rude. He said the only way files were deleted was by the user (i.e., me). That suggestion is ridiculous as it suggests I went into hundreds of individual folders and subfolders to delete files but leave the folder structure intact. The gentleman said there was no way OneDrive or Microsoft could cause that to happen. News flash. It wasn't just me. I later submitted a request for assistance by messaging OneDrive Support asking my issue to be escalated to the OneDrive Engineering Team for a One-Time Data Restoration (OTDR). I'm still waiting for a response or even as much as an acknowledgement of my support request. Does anyone else recognize this issue? What other ideas have others tried that worked to fix the problem? Any ideas on how I get my files back?
Allowing External Access
Hi guys, I want to allow guest external access for the folder. I followed the guide and video posted by Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/solutions/collaborate-on-documents?view=o365-worldwide I changed the setting in the SharePoint settings, in the identity settings, and I even changed the default permission from edit to view. The only change that went through is the default permission. When I go to my OneDrive and share something, the default is now view; however, I still can't share anything outside my organisation. Can anyone help me find out why? Does it take time for the settings to be pushed? Hope someone can help me.
Move files from Account A to Account B 165 GB data
I’ve been using Microsoft Office 365 Family for several years, sharing it with my family members. We have 6 accounts, each with 1 TB of storage. One of my accounts has now reached 985 GB, so I need to transfer files from Account A (my account) to Account B (my wife’s account). These files mainly consist of photos and videos — over 200,000 files in total. I tried transferring a 6 GB wedding shoot (.ISO format), but it took more than an hour. Re-downloading and uploading all the data isn’t feasible as my internet connectivity is limited to 100 mbps only. I’m looking for the best and most efficient way to move these files directly between OneDrive accounts.
One Drive Keeps Coming Back
So I recently updated to a new laptop. I completely resent that MS now defaults to everything going to OneDrive. I should be given a choice. I went through the laborious process of unsyncing, unlinking, and uninstalling OneDrive. It worked for the most part - except the Pictures Folder that was still pointing to a now unlinked Pictures folder. I managed to create my own Pictues folder and pin it. Fast forward to a couple of days ago. I wake up to my computer having been restarted due to an update. And lo - OneDrive is back and syncing again. I took a picture with my webcam and it automatically saved to OneDrive. I went in and unlinked the account again and I cannot understand why MS is so adamant that everything point to OneDrive. I should be allowed to back up what I wish to back up.
Block/prevent specific folders from being sync'ed
As OneDrive admins we would like to block/prevent specific folders from being sync'ed (i.e node_modules), using policies. In the roadmap there is this item: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?id=178292 that was supposed to be rolling by now, any information about its status? Thanks

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?
