I am new to One Drive. I would love to have my files in the 'cloud' so I can get to them from any computer. Here the problem I am having. My main computer ( a desktop) has a 500 GB SSD drive for my system, programs, etc. which is drive C:. I have all my data stored on a separate 1.0 TB HDD drive. I want to have my data files stored in the 'cloud'. I don't want them on my system drive. For some reason when I put my data into the 'cloud' it makes a copy of the OneDrive on C: and eats up all my available space for the system. What am I doing wrong? Or can this be fixed and I am asking the impossible? Thanks.1.6KViews0likes2CommentsThere was a problem signing you in
OneDrive says "OneDrive isn't connected" and offers to Sign In. Attempting to do so results in an unhelpful screen that says "There was a problem signing you in" without any explanation. The account works perfectly well if used online from a browser. OneDrive can be accessed with no issues from the browser; it only fails when using the sync app in the local computer. OneDrive was previously working perfectly well on the same computer. The failure to login is a recent occurrence. Things I have already tried: - Unlinking the PC and trying to re-add the account (same error when logging in) - Uninstalling and reinstalling OneDrive - Deleting cached account from the credential manager - Checking for Windows updates - Running sfc /scannow The problem started occurring shortly after applying the latest Windows Update, although I am not sure that both things coincided in time. The computer is running WIndows 10.1.5KViews2likes6CommentsLatest release for MacOS (23.189.0910.0001) - perpetual re-synchronisation of every file?
Mac Studio Apple M2 Max running latest MacOS 13.5.2 (22G91) Following installation of the latest version of the OneDrive app (23.189.0910.0001), OneDrive did a full re-synchronisation of each file, processing ~280,000 changes. Left the app to do its thing. 12-15 hours later, all files sync'd. Shut down overnight. Rebooted. All good. Shut down overnight. Rebooted. Another full synchronisation.

Please see the screenshot. The situation is as this. A new Dell notebook was purchased and initial Windows started. With this, OneDrive was deploying a shortcut, named المخزن الشخصي, in arabic, which relates to the Vault feature. Firstly, no one requested vault to be active or enabled per default. Secondly, deleting this shortcut will re-create it instantly - in the wrong language Vault was disabled online (a very peculiar process btw. - instead of disabling it within the app's settings) - but the character are still wrong and the shortcut cannot be deleted or changed. Please review and, if possible, sketch a solution. Kind Regards1.2KViews0likes1CommentOneDrive folder share with anyone unexpectedly requires signin
Hi Team I have a family subscription of MS365. I wanted to create a file drop for someone else to drop photos into. In a web browser (Brave), I signed into my OneDrive and I created a folder, clicked on the Share icon, then under Copy link, ensured the option was set to Anyone with the link can edit (no expiry or password requirement was set), then clicked on Copy to generate the link. Upon testing this link, I can open the folder and view its content, but when I try to upload by drag/drop or with the upload button, it always redirects to the login page, so the end user needs to create their own MS account or signin into the MS account. Since the note for the option for Anyone says "Share with anyone, doesn't require sign-in", it is unexpected behaviour. I tested this issue on various devices, and with the end user as well and it's the same behaviour. Is there a workaround for this issue?794Views1like0Commentssharepoint server 2019 on-premise , onedrive and ms office 2019 pro plus
Hi. I have a Sharepoint server 2019 on-premise 16.0.10404.20003 version, with installed onedrive. Onedrive client on PC 23.226.1031.0003 version, that connected to sharepoint onedrive via AD account. I can upload and download files via explorer, everything works fine. I can edit files via office online serve on-premise individually or in collaborative editing. But i can't edit existing files, or create new one in Onedrive localy on PC in ms office 2019 pro plus. When I try to save file it says just "File not saved". No errors in System ivents on pc or server. Please tell me what could be the reason, all my guesswork is over.727Views0likes0CommentsOneDrive People feature ignores some folders
Despite activating the People feature several months ago, it appears to have overlooked numerous subfolders within my image collection. These folders are organized manually by year and date, with the issue primarily affecting older folders predating approximately 2021. While the feature successfully analyzes and categorizes newer photos, it consistently skips over many earlier folders. Is there a method to compel the OneDrive People feature to include these overlooked folders in its facial recognition analysis?692Views1like4Comments
