Why doesn't OneDrive ever finish syncing?
I've got a Microsoft 365 Family Edition license, so it comes with 1TB of storage. I've used 49.6 GB of that storage. Every time I log into my Windows machines (both a desktop and a laptop), the white cloud indicates that it is synchronizing files. And that goes on for hours and hours and hours. Frankly, I can't believe it would take that long to finish syncing files when I haven't used that much. So, what in heck is going on? Why doesn't OneDrive ever finish?
QUICK way to create a link to a file in a shared folder
I set up a folder in my OneDrive space to be sharable. I can see that all of the files in that folder are shared as well. which is good. However when I try to generate a URL link to one of those files, I still have to go through several steps in a popup dialog that asks "anybody" vs. "specific people" and "edit" vs. "view". (Both seem to default to the wrong thing.) I just want to use the permissions already established for the entire folder, and quickly copy a link that I can paste somewhere. I'd prefer that no dialog show up at all -- just a link that I can copy, with the same properties as the parent folder. Neither the "Share" nor the "Copy Link" choices in the context menu does this. I have to change the properties every time. Is there any faster way to do this? In case it matters, I am utilizing the features of the OneDrive application for MacOS, and its extensions to the Finder tool there.
Deleted files during sync
Please, help to recover my files. A few months ago during sync my PC pictures of all my life were not sync properly. I stopped the sync, because it mixed all files from my working PC as well. After I stopped it i found out that almost all pictures that were not sync were just deleted. I couldn't find then neither in One Drive, nor in my personal PC, only empty Folders are left. Till now I didn't get any reply from Microsoft One Drive team, after 3 and more letters I just stopped. Please, help me to recover them. Because of One Drive I have lost all my digital archive of my pictures/images.
Lost Recent Version of File From OneDrive
I made steady progress on my maths investigation and at one point I spent 3 hours working on it. I've revisited the file a few days later to find ALL the changes made in the second 2 hours completely gone. There aren't any recovered documents and upon revisiting I noticed Autosave turned OFF despite having the file saved to OneDrive and not manually turning it off. Version history tells me that the last saved change was after the first hour, completely missing out on the subsequent 2 hours of important progress. Is there ANY way to retrieve this (somehow unsaved) work? And if not what caused this?
KFM - Silent Folder Move doesn't work until user selects it
I'm trying to set up Known Folder Move using OneDrive, but it's not doing it automatically when a user logs in. The user has to open OneDrive settings and manually start backup. I'm using OneDrive along with FSLogix office containers, with OneDrive caching enabled. I've configured OneDrive in GPO to silently sign-in, silently move, prompt to move, and prevent them from being moved back. I've installed OneDrive version 22.176.0821.0003 using setup.exe /allusers. These are my GPO settings: Silently sign in users to the OneDrive sync app with their Windows credentials: Enabled Silently move Windows known folders to OneDrive: Enabled Prompt users to move Windows known folders to OneDrive: Enabled Prevent users from redirecting Windows Known Folders to their PC: Enabled Use OneDrive Files On-Demand: Enabled But here is what is happening: User logs in desktop first time, and OneDrive silently logs in the user successfully. OneDrive does not migrate Known folders and does not prompt user. User must launch OneDrive client > Settings > Backup tab > "Start Backup". Then the OneDrive client informs the user that "Your IT department wants you to back up your important folders", and clicking "Start Backup" will start KFM correctly. It's my understanding that Silent Known Folder Move is supposed to be automatic without user intervention. I've checked the registry keys and all of them seem to be correct: But under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Business1, it shows the "kfmFoldersProtectedNow = 0" so it's not engaging something. So what do I need to do for Silent KFM to automatically work on first logon?
Conta do OneDrive excluída
Pessoal alguém pode me dar ajuda com um problema que eu tive com a conta do OneDrive eu tinha uma conta gratuita do OneDrive que renovava a cada 3 meses e essa semana recebi um e-mail informando que que a conta foi excluída A questão é que eu tinha alguns arquivos importantes dentro da nuvem e queria saber se existe alguma forma de recuperarWeird serious problem with shared folders in personal Onedrive after windows 10 update.
Hi there, Last week my PC got updates from MS for windows 10 , and after the reboot my Onedrive local client started doing weird things deleting folders and renaming them to names with -COMPUTERNAME behind them. My setup is as follows: I'm logged on to my own Onedrive In my Onedrive I have shared folders with data that other family members in a family subsciption shared with me. There is a lot of data in them, some have 660Gb of pics and videos. I added those shared folders to my Onedrive, so I can access them in my own explorer without logging on to another account. This setup has been working fine for years, up until this MS update... I noticed after the reboot that my Onedrive Personal client was deleting a lot of folders from the local Onedrive folder on my harddrive, but only the folders that have the shared offline data, they were in the recycing BIN. I tried to re-connect the Onedrive but nothing changed, the online view in my Onedrive was still intact , including the shared folders from other Onedrives, but locally these were gone. So at that point I saw a different file structure online compared to the one in my own Explorer. I then tried to restore them from the recycling bin, only to find out that Onedrive would rename them to 'ORIGINALNAME-WIN10' where WIN10 is my computername. It then started uploading all this data AGAIN to my online )storage, the 'shared (Gedeeld) folders were copied into my own drive with the label 'private' behind it, but that is absolutely not what should happen, my own drive would have been full within a day if I didn't break off this operation. Here you can see a screenshot of what was happening, while it was still 'syncing': I tried re-installing and re-connecting the Onedrive client, and also removing all the extra copies of the folders online AND offline, hoping it would resync the whole thing from the Original online shared folders. The shared folders just don't turn up anymore in my local view. Instead the Onedrive client started renaming even more shared folders that seemed untouched before, and uploading the contents to my own Onedrive.... So to make it absolutely clear what happened: the shared folders that were only in the Cloud didn't turn up locally anymore, the shared folders that were on both sides were renamed locally and copied back to the cloud as a new private copy folder (as you can see in the screenshot). Did MS change something with the last updates that forces shared data to actually be taking up space in your own Onedrive, where this was not the case before? Or is this just something that went corrupt on my own PC and can I fix it somehow? I can't imagine them changing something that has such an impact without any warning since it causes a lot of trouble for people using shared folders and also a LOT of network traffic if everyone with shared folders gets into these issues.... I hope some real expert on Onedrive can tell me what is going on, and esp. how to fix it? To be honest, this seems a PRETTY SERIOUS issue if other have it too... ;) MarcelOneDrive Personal not downloading
