Please help, OneDrive sync and missing/deleted work files
I have OneDrive installed on both my PC and laptop because I use OneNote sometimes. The other day while I was on my PC, OneDrive randomly decided to sync my laptop and PC, I think, and all my files from my laptop were on my PC. This is a big problem because my PC is for personal use and laptop for work. Then I deleted some files thinking they were still on my laptop anyways. But today when I opened my laptop, all of my work files were gone. My desktop was just my PC desktop. I need help because the work files were really really important and I'm freaking out. Why would OneDrive do this? They are separate, I don't want them synced. Please help. Can I recover them?
Getting frustrated trying to find where my new laptop is putting files
I keep having to hunt around to find where files are being put! Everything by default goes into OneDrive Personal Folder. Being cynical, I can't help wondering if this is a cunning plan to fill up OneDrive so you have to buy more storage!
Help with Onedrive and Samsung Gallery
Hello. I am a Samsung user. I understand that the backup features between Onedrive and the Samsung Gallery are ending. The notice on my device says to download the original files before the connection between Samsung and Microsoft officially ends or they won't remain on my phone, but whenever I try to do this I only get very few items available to download and it says these available items are only items 'not already on your phone'...which I don't understand. I simply want to keep what is *already* on my phone that I have backed up with Onedrive so I don't lose it later, as instructed. I don't understand. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. I would like to keep photos and videos already on my device on my device so when the collaboration is over I'll still have them there. I think backing them up up on One Drive means that if I cut off the sync on the Gallery's end, it'll just remove the images synced to Onedrive already right out of my phone gallery and keep them on Onedrive. I am very confused. Help, please. Thank you! Someone suggested simply removing separating my Microsoft account from my Samsung account but I don't know if that's the answer either.Onedrive file sync issue
I just recently had an issue where my files were not synced because i had run out of onedrive storage space so i just got rid of a bunch of unnecessary files sitting around which freed up a ton of space. The files still werent synced so i resett one drive to sync them back up but when i did that it just restored the files i had just deleted. I kept trying over and over again but the same kept happening and now i cant sycn my files. Ive tried everything, restarted my computer. Reinstalled onedrive but its all not working and my files and folders wonf sync. What do i do to fix this?
One Drive Data recovery
I have deleted my One Drive completely almost 7 weeks ago. This was an intentional clean-up, but secured by a backup on a real SSD disk. And now that SSD disk had gone, and that was unintentional. Is there any way i can recover my data ? The data flies were only available online and never synced with my MacBook.
OneDrive “Share” window stuck loading from File Explorer (works on web)
Description: Hi all, I'm experiencing an issue with OneDrive where the "Share" option from Windows File Explorer gets stuck indefinitely loading (blank window with spinner). Details: The issue occurs only when using right-click → Share from File Explorer Sharing works correctly from OneDrive web interface Issue is affecting multiple users in the same environment OneDrive sync itself is working normally Troubleshooting already performed: Reinstalled OneDrive completely (clean install) Cleared local cache and removed residual folders Reinstalled Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime (Evergreen x64) Cleared Windows Credential Manager entries Reconnected Work/School account (WAM reset) Tested on different networks (including mobile hotspot) Windows fully updated Environment: Windows 11 (corporate environment) Microsoft 365 / OneDrive for Business Observation: The issue seems isolated to the File Explorer integration (possibly WebView2 or WAM-related), since web sharing works fine. Has anyone experienced this behavior recently or is there any known issue with the OneDrive Explorer integration? Thanks in advance.
onedrive sync issues
Hi We use OneDrive for Business and need a solution for sharing files and folders among a team while maintaining proper access permissions. Currently, each team member's Desktop and Documents folders are synced with their own personal OneDrive for Business account. In addition, we have a separate common OneDrive account that has been added to all team members' PCs, and all team members have Owner permissions on that account. When a user creates a folder or saves a file in the shared OneDrive location, it is actually being created under the common OneDrive account, not in the user's personal OneDrive. While this allows everyone to access the same files, we frequently experience synchronization conflicts and sync issues between users. What is the Microsoft-recommended approach for this type of collaboration? Is using a common OneDrive account with multiple owners a supported best practice, or should we instead use a SharePoint document library (or another Microsoft 365 solution) for shared team files, permissions, and reliable synchronization? ThanksHow to get rid of old Onenote files in Onedrive
I've been using Onenote for many, many years and over that time I have collected several unused files that seem to be un-deletable on Onedrive. I have deleted some of them within Onedrive from time to time but the names seem to remain. Here is what I see. When I click "Files" in One drive I see folders and under that documents which contains my only current Onenote database. The one I use. But, then I click "home" and see six old unused data base files that cannot be deleted. When I click on some of them the screen says "Sorry, something went wrong - Item may have been deleted by another person" Another file will say "This item might not exist or has been deleted". I am the only one who uses this account. I'm not sure what HOME is or what its function is as it doesn't show any folders or files that are active. It only shows these abandoned Onenote databases that nothing can be done with. So, Is there a way to clean this up or is it just not worth the effort. Since I don't know what the function of Home is I'm not sure if it matters. Thanks for any enlightenment.finding photos by date on One Drive
On the All Photos page the search field states: Find photos by date, tags, location and more. However, when I type in a date it shows zero results even though I have many photos with that date on my OneDrive. I use the same format OneDrive uses. For example: Dec 24, 2023 Any suggestions?
