URGENT: Tenant Linked & New Licenses Active, Need Manual Sync Triggered (Ticket #2606160040010375)
Hello Community Managers and Microsoft Moderators, I am writing to request an urgent escalation to a Data Protection and Billing Supervisor regarding our open case: TicketID#2606160040010375 for our nonprofit, R. Fathers M.A.D., Inc. Our legacy grant subscription lapsed on May 27, and we purchased our new active subscription on June 15—a lapse of exactly 19 days. Current Status: The Data Protection Team has successfully linked our accounts. Our new June 15 subscription is confirmed Active in our Billing dashboard. All new licenses have been successfully assigned to our active users. Frontline support ran an eDiscovery search that came back empty because the metadata indexing pointers were severed during the grant decommissioning. Because we acted within the initial 30-day window, our data sits well within the 90-day retention threshold. We have completed 100% of the front-end setup steps on our end. We need a Community Manager to internally flag TicketID#2606160040010375 so a Tier-3 engineer can manually trigger the backend data re-index. This will reconnect our intact SharePoint and OneDrive files to our newly mapped user profiles. Our nonprofit operations are completely halted until this sync is pushed. Thank you for your immediate help.

Can a mobile app programmatically trigger the OneDrive mobile app?
Hi, I am developing a native mobile application (Android and iOS) and I would like to clarify what is officially supported when interacting with OneDrive on mobile devices. Specifically, I would like to know: - Is there any supported way (Android Intent, iOS URL scheme, or similar) for a third-party mobile app to programmatically trigger the OneDrive mobile app to create folders or upload files? - Or is Microsoft Graph API the only supported approach to create folders and upload files to OneDrive / SharePoint from a mobile application? I am looking for an official clarification on the supported approach. Thank you.
Local Onedrive files won't open when away from Wifi
Why can't I open a Onedrive file that is saved to my Surface harddrive when I am away from WiFi. I literally opened the file up while I was with WiFi, so when I travelled to the non-WiFi location, the file would be available, or updated, or not be corrupted, or not do whatever crazy thing it does when it can't connect. Sadly I forgot to plug it in so it had to restart and did an update. When I tried to re-open the file that is literally on my harddrive, it said "Excel cannot open the file because the file format or the file extension is not valid". This is ridiculous, and not the only time it has happened. Even if my Onedrive sync is up to date, at times when I am away from WiFi, when trying to open a file I get the same report. To be safe, I have made a practice to open the files I need to ensure that they will be available when I am away from WiFi. If the files are on my computer drive, why can't I open them?? Please give a better solution then me hoping it is going to work every time I go out.Why isn't there a PowerShell module for OneDrive?
Out of all the various applications that Microsoft produce, OneDrive stands out as an anomaly. Where is the PowerShell module for managing it? Some very simple requirements by developers are simply missing. A very simple one - can I test whether OneDrive is still synchronising and therefore I have to wait before my program/script progresses so that I'm sure we've got the latest versions or won't suddenly get "Cloud provider not running". OneDrive has been around years, this really perplexes me...
Congratulations, Microsoft products couldn't have been worse even if you tried.
I was thinking why should I bother posting about this, who would read it, and would it make Microsoft any better if someone reads this? But the world would never improve if no one reports this kind of bad design. So here we go. Why make it so hard to sign up for Azure, register an app, set up permissions, register an app in the MDN (whatever the F it stands for), just to be able to connect to build an ETL job that pulls from multi-tenant onedrive. Why so much text everywhere that it becomes unreasonable to read and find information that matters. Why pretend you have an AI called Copilot when it doesn't have access to data and all it does is spit back information from the docs. How to fix this? Put yourself in the shoes of someone new who's integrating Microsoft products for the first time. No assumptions. No required prior knowledge. Less text, straight to the point. No weird error messages with complicated Error IDs. If no one understands them, why bother bloat the limited screen space with it? Why not have an actual AI that can give concrete pointers instead of showing a link to a generic documentation page? This could go on, but I'm gonna practice what I preach and get straight to the point with the suggestions above. The only moat Microsoft has is the heavy corporate contracts that bind stupid corporations to use Microsoft products and services. The moment a new provider with simpler/faster/cheaper services shows up, developers and people working day-to-day with Microsoft services will gladly migrate over. My 2-cent bottle in the sea.OneDrive repeatedly misguiding users
Hi, Just letting you guys know that you are pushing the OneDrive agenda way too much and you are repeatedly misguiding and misrepresenting users on how and where they should store their files, without acquiring proper permission, without disclosing proper procedures, and without informing users on the consequences of their decisions. It's not your place to dictate to users how they should store their files and where to store them and organize them. Additionally, I have brought this up to support in the past: Windows Updates get installed and before I can even login, I get these blue screen prompts to go back to using Edge, as well as to use OneDrive, and to "Backup with OneDrive." The users are essentially being pushed or tricked into agreeing with whatever you want them to do and this is completely wrong. Where do these backups go? What are the folder structures? What "apps" get backed up? How do you offer Restoration in the event of a failure? What is the proper procedure to recover lost files? Do you have File/Version History? Who said it's correct, for example, to synchronize the Windows Desktop among computers? Who is issuing all these incorrect procedures on file management, backup, and synchronization?Uploading files to OneDrive Personal via API fails when filename starts with "Windows"
Hi everyone, We've encountered a strange issue with our backup tool that affects random users. Files with names starting with "Windows" (e.g., Windows.gif) fail to upload to OneDrive Personal accounts, regardless of whether we're using: Simple Item Upload (PUT request) Resumable Item Upload (POST to create an upload session) Both methods return a 404 Not Found error. Details: Simple Upload Fails after the PUT completes. Resumable Upload Fails during the session creation call. No issues with filenames not starting with "Windows." A similar unresolved issue was reported https://github.com/OneDrive/onedrive-api-docs/issues/1785. Sample Request & Response: Simple Upload: PUT /v1.0/drive/items/{item-id}:/Windows.gif:/content Authorization: Bearer [token] Host: api.onedrive.com Response: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Payload: json { "error": { "code": "itemNotFound", "message": "Item does not exist" } } Resumable Upload: bash POST /v1.0/drive/items/{item-id}:/Windows.gif:/upload.createSession Authorization: Bearer [token] Content-Type: application/json Response: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Payload: json { "error": { "code": "itemNotFound", "message": "Item does not exist" } } Key Observations: Random Accounts Affected: Issue occurs inconsistently across different OneDrive Personal accounts. No Request ID: Failed responses lack request IDs, making tracing difficult. Inconsistent Reproduction: I can't reproduce it on my account, but my colleague can. Uploading the same file via the OneDrive web interface works fine. Trying to force URL-encode the filename in the request results in the same error Questions: Has anyone encountered this before? Could this be related to reserved keywords or API filtering rules? Any advice on debugging this further, given the lack of request IDs? Thanks.
