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.
Files are gone, folderstructure is there
Dear community, I have a one drive account with a extensive folder structure. Today I noticed that the folderstructure is intact (on my laptop and online) but the files are mostly gone for 90%, here and there a folder with some files. My account is a personal 356, have 1 terrabyte. I tried to restore the drive through the instructions I found online by Microsoft, go to settings, one drive restore, check recycle bin, etcetera. Nothing helped. I did not deleted the files manually. I honestly do not know what to do? Tried to get in contact with Microsoft but that is totally impossible. Is there anyone that has expirienced this also? I use onedrive now for many years and never had this. Please help
anyone else keeping files on two clouds just in case onedrive goes down?
hey everyone seen a few posts here about files going missing or sync just stopping randomly and it got me thinking about how much we all just trust one cloud completely my situation is i have onedrive for work, google drive for stuff i share with clients, and dropbox still has old project files from years ago that i never got around to moving. so im constantly opening three different tabs just to find one file. pretty annoying honestly couple months back onedrive just didnt sync a folder for a few days. i only found out when i needed something on another laptop. nothing was actually lost but it made me a bit nervous about having everything in one place with no backup plan so i started looking for something that just shows all three drives together. found a tool called All Cloud Hub (allcloudhub.com) and been using it since. it puts all your connected drives into one dashboard so you can search across all of them at once instead of checking each one separately. you can also move files directly from onedrive to google drive without downloading anything to your computer first which saves a lot of time it connects through oauth so your login details never go to them and your files stay in your own accounts. nothing gets copied to their servers. free plan covers up to 3 cloud accounts which was enough for me wont fix microsofts sync issues obviously but at least if something breaks on one side your files are still somewhere else does anyone else do something like this or is it just me being paranoid lolURGENT: OneDrive Restore Completed but Files Missing – No Engineer Assigned Since Dec 27
Hello, I am posting here as a last resort after more than 6 weeks of unresolved support. On December 26, 2025, I accidentally deleted a large number of files and emptied the Recycle Bin. On December 27, 2025, I immediately initiated a full OneDrive restore to a snapshot from December 19, 2025. The restore job shows: • Restore status: Completed • Thousands of restore events processed • However, hundreds of events failed (Save Conflict, Item Not Found in Recycle Bin) My storage usage dropped significantly (from 10+ GB to ~2.7 GB), and thousands of photos never reappeared. Restore logs show: • Multiple “Save Conflict” errors • Multiple “Item Not Found in Recycle Bin” errors • Backend SharePoint references (SPException) I opened an official support case on December 27, 2025. The current status still says: “A support agent is being assigned to your request.” No OneDrive engineer has contacted me in over a month. I am a paying Microsoft 365 subscriber. My questions: 1. Is there a way to confirm whether backend snapshot data still exists? 2. Does “Restore Completed” guarantee that the backend restore fully executed? 3. Can Save Conflict errors prevent large portions of data from being re-materialized? 4. Is escalation to the OneDrive backend team still possible beyond front-line support? This is not a basic user error case. The restore logs clearly show backend-level operations. If anyone from the OneDrive engineering team is monitoring this forum, I am urgently requesting technical escalation. Thank you.
File Type Version Limits
Hi all, In trying to solve an old issue I stumbled across this new feature currently in preview and am wondering if the file type arrays will be editable or if new arrays could be or will be added? I have a handful of file types which do not need 100 versions, let alone a version every 2-5 minutes, requiring frequent culling...

Hi everyone I have a strange issue that I haven't come across before. A customer has got an old subsite on SharePoint Online that was created with the STS#0 template (classic Team Site with no group) and they want to modernise their old wiki pages. This should have been straightforward as I was planning on using the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/transform/modernize-userinterface-site-pages-powershell. However, on this site they have two page libraries - the standard Site Pages library and then what looks like a custom page library (I've blanked out the name of the custom library as it contains the company name): All of the pages they want to modernize are in the custom library but the issue with this is that the only content type available is Wiki Page: This means that although the PnP PowerShell runs successfully against pages in this library, the new versions don't actually appear in the library. I assume this is because the modern Site Page content type isn't available in the library. I was under the impression that a site could only have one page library so I'm not sure how this site has the two. On a more urgent note I need to work out the best way of modernizing these pages. Currently the only way I can see is using Power Automate to copy the pages to the Site Pages library and then convert them there. The only issue with that is that there are links within the pages to other pages so I'd need to go through them and fix these once they've been moved. here are over 300 pages so I don't really want to do this. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way forward with this. Also, if you know how there are multiple page libraries I'd be keen to hear it as I haven't come across this before. Thanks in advance for your help.Renaming a folder with too many files
One of our teams has a Team/SharePoint site with an archive folder. Everything in there is old files, and they'd like to rename the folder. However, we get the error that it exceeds the list view threshold. I've spent the afternoon trying to find out how to get this folder renamed and so far nothing has worked. The general consensus is to create a filtered view, but I'm not sure what to filter it based on, as all of the files have been there and untouched for some time, causing most of the columns I could index be fairly similar (they were moved to SharePoint 3 years ago from an on-prem fileshare). One of the options I'd seen was to sync it using OneDrive and rename it locally but that still gave me the same error. I also tried renaming the folder from within Teams without success. If someone could provide some guidance for how to get this done, I'd appreciate it. Right now, I'm thinking I'll just have to move a bunch of stuff out of some of the folders to temporary locations, but even that is challenging as I'm not aware of a good way to get a count of items in folders and subfolders in SharePoint to know which are the best ones to move out.
External Sharing log
Hello everyone, I am looking for a suitable solution for a customer case! The customer shares a lot of data with external customers via SharePoint and OneDrive. He would like to receive an overview / log of when the data was accessed and processed externally. The notifications can be used as standard - but this is not comprehensive, since the customer would like to have some kind of log. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a solution? Many THX
Linking documents/pictures to other sites?
What is the correct way to use documents and images stored in a Home Site library on other SharePoint sites? I need to embed images and create hyperlinks to documents on pages in other sites. I have been using the “Copy link” button, which creates a sharing link with individual user permissions. The problem is that if I move the picture to another folder within the same library, the image sometimes disappears from the page. Occasionally the share link still works after moving the file, but not always. What is the recommended way to do this, and is it fully supported?
