A bunch of files are missing from Desktop folders managed by OneDrive
I don't use OneDrive at all, but my mom who's not tech-savvy at all has it on her laptop. Today, she suddenly notices that a bunch of files from a folder on desktop have disappeared. It seems like all of the desktop are managed by/synced with OneDrive but there's some sort of error preventing her from seeing/access those files. Please see the screenshots. Since my 60+ years old mother is really not up-to-date with the tech, she can't tell me if she's done anything with OneDrive (she doesn't even know what it is and that she's using it), when the last update was, etc. But she is not computer illiterate enough that she would accidentally delete all these files from those folders herself. Is there any way of getting these files back and shut off OneDrive permanently so it won't sneak back onto her laptop with the next Windows Update? Thanks in advance!
Copy Paste issues within OneDrive web-based
So I was copying across a couple documents between 2000 and 4000 words each. I had three more to go and I noticed the clip board copied the last one, not the current one I copied. I thought maybe I didnt hit the button right so I right clicked and clicked copy then went to the new document and right clicked and selected paste. Still only gave me the the previous one, not the one I just tried to copy. I tested several other copy paste functions in other apps, or browsers, or programs and everything worked fine. I could copy something from outside onedrive and paste it in the document but I could no longer copy from one document to another within onedrive. It feels like a cashing issue so I cleared my cookies and cash, restarted the browser, still wouldnt work. I did system updates and checked to make sure my browser was up to date, everything was fine. I tried creating new documents to paste into and still wouldnt work. I restarted my computer and it was still having issues. Now I have a document with crap in it I dont need and I cant even delete the document because it tells me its currently in use and I know its not because I just did a restart. I dont know whats going on but it feels like the clipboard may be "full" but any documentation that I can find on how to clear my clipboard is for the app, not the web based version. HELP! I need to be able to copy and paste again!
OneDrive for Android: Camera Backup keeps uploading screenshots
Hi all, Every so often when I check OneDrive, I see my Android phone has uploaded screenshots as well as camera photos. In the Android app, when I check the Camera Backup setting, the "Back up device folders" has the setting "Camera, Screenshots" However, when I click that value, and go into the "Organise new backups in subfolders" list, the Screenshots folder is _not_ actually selected as one to be uploaded. If I turn the folder on, then off, OneDrive will temporarily not upload images from my Screenshot folder. But eventually, it decide that again it should do this. How do I make this behaviour stop permanently? P.
PnP Search Results Handlebars template saves but does not reflect on UI
Hi everyone, I am working with the PnP Search Results web part in SharePoint Online and facing an issue where a custom Handlebars result template saves successfully but does not reflect on the UI. I created a table-style Handlebars template with columns Document, Region, Country, Language, Status and Validation Date, one row per document. Documents are returned correctly and filters based on the same refinable properties work as expected. Debug output using JSONstringify(item) confirms that all refinable values are present. The same if-condition logic using item.RefinableStringXX works in a list-style layout, but in a table layout the template saves without errors and either does not reflect on the UI or renders rows with empty metadata columns. Inline bindings do not render unless wrapped in if blocks and even after fixing this the UI sometimes continues to show the previous layout. Managed property mappings, selected properties, indexing and library reindexing have already been verified. Has anyone experienced this behavior with PnP Search Results templates or knows if this is related to caching, result types overriding templates or a known limitation with table-style Handlebars layouts?
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.Delete Version History
Hello Team, I'm looking for help with deleting the version history of specific files in SharePoint, but retaining the last 10 versions. I can see that I can manually delete the version history, but this is going to be a rather long task for this particular file, or i can delete them all which we don't want. I've found powershell commands which will go through all files in a document library but nothing for a specific file. Does anyone have anything which will do this? Thank you.
Removing Teams from a Specific User Profile via Script in Intune
Hi, Working on a process with using PowerShell to remove Microsoft Teams from a specific user that is not the primary user of that computer on multiple Windows 11 devices using Microsoft Intune. However, I need a script to make this happen. Can I get some help from the community on this? Has anyone else seen this before? Thanks, ZC46
Built an Android app for OneDrive duplicate detection (something I wish Microsoft offered natively)
After years of dealing with duplicate photos and videos in OneDrive, I built a solution and wanted to share it with the community. **The problem:** - Samsung Gallery sync creates duplicates in both "Camera Roll" and "Samsung Gallery" folders - WhatsApp media gets backed up twice (original + shared copy) - App resets/reinstalls trigger re-uploads with "(1)" suffixes - No native duplicate detection in OneDrive **What I built:** OneDrive MediaOps - an Android app that scans for duplicates directly in the cloud. No need to download files to a desktop first. Key features: - Cloud-based scanning (no downloads required) - Algorithm visually identical photos even with different filenames - Preview before deleting - Batch deletion **Why cloud-based matters:** With 50GB+ of photos, downloading everything to run a desktop duplicate finder wasn't practical. This scans media directly via the Graph API. Available on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onedrive.mediaops&pcampaignid=web_share Would love feedback from the community - especially if you've been dealing with the Samsung/OneDrive sync duplicate issue.
