What words cannot be used as file names in OneDrive?
This is regarding OneDrive Business (latest version) synchronizing with SharePoint Documents store. User created a folder named "FORMS" at the root of the store and received the message from OneDrive: "Item name is not allowed in cloud". Rename "FORMS" or remove it from your <site name> folder." (Screenshot attached) I confirmed there were no characters or spaces before or after the "FORMS" and retyped it a couple times to be certain. I changed it from "FORMS" to "FORMS_CLUB" and it resolved the problem. Where can I find a list of the words that OneDrive does not allow to be used in folder/file names? Thank you in advance!Student account storage update?
Since Monday, 2/19/2024, I have been receiving emails on Outlook regarding my OneDrive storage. This is a student OneDrive account, which should provide 1TB of cloud storage access for a lifetime. Have there been any updates to the policy that might have changed it to 100GB, or is this possibly just a glitch in the system?
Onedrive sync
Hi, I need to move about 30gb worth of files from an on prem file server in to sharepoint, and allow staff to sync those files via onedrive client. (Add shortcut to onedrive option) - But, there is a LOT of files with the same names, but in different directories, Is this going to cause issues when onedrive attemps to synchronize the SharePoint library? Thanks in advance Dave
onedrive file redirection / disable
Hi, i have 25 users that are out of an active directory domain and has to do the following: 1- that the local folders for desktop, downloads, documents and images are synchronized in OneDrive by default and the users cant change this. 2- that the user can only save files in those folders (zip, word, excel, etc), and cannot save to the C or D drive or to a USB drive 3- that the files are available offline 4- that synchronization with OneDrive is mandatory and that the user cannot change it. Users are not local administrators, computers do not belong to a domain, or active directory, users have a basic Office 365 account and have 1 terabyte of space in the cloud. Any idea how i can achieve this? Thanks C.
Can't empty recycle bin in onedrive
I recently have started having OneDrive storage space issues. I have spent hours scouring message boards but none of them apply to my problem. The problem is that I have tried emptying the recycle bin using "advice" from other posts but there is NO button in my onedrive that says "empty recycle bin", only "restore". it says i am over my limit by 195% i know i'm not always the brightest star in the sky but unless i am a complete idiot, there is something wrong. please help, this is very frustrating update: I was finally able to find an "empty recycle button" but it was only available in the section where it said my account had been frozen due to lack of space. I clicked on it and it has been "retrieving the files" for 10 minutes now. something is not right.
Variable Performance when Creating or Removing Shortcut Folders for SharePoint libraries
When using the "Add shortcut to OneDrive" feature for a SharePoint online library or folder, we experience inconsistent performance with the local OneDrive sync application creating/initializing the local "shortcut folder". Sometimes the sync application processes "changes" very quickly--100s of changes per second. And sometimes it does so very slowly--10s (or less) changes per second. We experience the same inconsistent behavior whenremoving a "shortcut folder"--sometimes it's fast and sometimes it's slow. In my testing, the difference cannot be attributed to either the specific SharePoint library/folder or the the specific client machine. On my own machine, I have seen both the fast and slow behavior when creating a "shortcut folder" for the same SharePoint library. Can anyone provide any insight on what might be causing this inconsistent performance? Could any service limits be coming into play? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/throttling-limits#files-and-lists-service-limits Environment: Large SharePoint online libraries; Windows 11 client machines; current PROD ring OneDrive sync applications; Files On-Demand enforced via group policy; no rate limiting used for the local sync application.
Is there any way I can get a version of word document some months old?
Dear Folks It looks like I have accidentally deleted some text within a Word document which I input some months ago ( and outside period Word has versions for) but only realise now that it is missing! Is there any way I can recover an old version of this document?OneDrive Error - Unable to open file via Open in App
This error has occurred with one of our users. When they go to open a PDF via Open in App, they get 'Error 0x80070183 - The cloud sync provider failed to perform the operation due to low system resources' (see image attached). I checked the users C drive and it was quite full so I went on and deleted all the items from the OneDrive Cache, all items from their downloads, and went on to empty their Recycle bin. We checked this again the following day and the error still appeared. If there a limit to how much you need to have available to use this function? The user definitely has several GB free which I thought would be enough. I know OneDrive creates temporary folders to host files when using Open in App, so I understand the requirement for free space, but I'm not sure why it's so much, if that is in fact the cause. Any feedback here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris
