48 TopicsThe Heart of Community – How Friendship Strengthens Our Social Circles
On building community. “Social connections are one of the most important factors in determining our well-being and longevity. Strong friendships benefit both individuals and the entire community. By prioritizing these relationships, we can build stronger, healthier communities." Psychologist Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad Friendship is vital for strong communities, providing emotional and social benefits. It fosters connection, trust, and belonging. Close friendships enhance personal well-being, reducing loneliness and boosting happiness. Research from the American Psychological Association shows that people with strong social connections are 50% more likely to live longer. Friendship's value goes beyond personal health; it positively impacts communities. Connected individuals are more likely to engage in social causes, collaborate on initiatives, and support each other, creating collective responsibility. This applies whether it is your local community, those that are part of your technical community, or hobbies you love like a book club or board game nights/groups. Host a community gathering – Organize a small event or gathering in your neighborhood to bring people together and foster new connections. Host a small meeting online for a quarterly check-in with friends. (I have a standing meeting with some college friends every other Sunday, sometimes there are two of us, sometimes six, sometimes we cancel, but having it on the calendar keeps it going. I find this time grounding and many times support just when I need it). Support local businesses – Frequent local shops and restaurants and engage with the owners and staff to build relationships within your community. (I recently debuted my DJing house music skills at a neighborhood benefit we did for our Los Angeles animal rescues for the wildfires.) Get to know your local business owners, chamber, rotary they are your neighbors! Volunteer for local causes – Dedicate some time to volunteer for community projects or organizations that resonate with you, helping to strengthen communal ties. One organization could benefit from even 1 hour of time and volunteering a way to make new acquaintances and friends. In the Microsoft Community space, a big shout out to those who produce both free and paid technical skilling community events and who run user groups - you are the purveyors of belonging and friendship. Be sure to check out all events in the Microsoft Community ecosystem on Communitydays.org. If you are a producer who creates events around Microsoft products, please list your event on the site! As we continue to spotlight and celebrate the individuals and initiatives that make our communities vibrant and connected, let us remember that each small act of connection and kindness contributes to the greater whole. By fostering friendships and creating inclusive spaces, we not only enhance our own lives but also build resilient, supportive communities. Let's all take a moment to reach out, engage, and uplift those around us, knowing that every gesture matters in the tapestry of community life. After twenty-four years in this space, I feel grateful to call so many of you friends of mine as well as colleagues. What is one way you can reach out to a friend today? #TheHeartofCommunity #BelongingMatters #CuppaCommuniTea #MicrosoftCommunity 🍵 Today I am drinking a cuppa Lemon Ginger tea from Bigelow Family Tea Blenders since 1945 - Fairfield, Connecticut.

I mistakenly synced my local OneDrive folder to the remote OneDrive using rclone, intending to update the remote with my local files. However, the sync went the wrong way, and now my local files are gone. Unfortunately, there’s nothing in the remote OneDrive Recycle Bin because all the files were originally on my local machine. I’m working on a Linux system and need to recover the deleted files from my local OneDrive folder. Is there a way to recover these files from the local Recycle Bin or any other method to restore them? Any advice or tools recommended for file recovery on Linux would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!382Views0likes0CommentsShared folder sync not possible anymore?! Workaround?
Hi guys We are using the OneDrive for Business. (Work) Around 6 months ago, I made a OD share with my colleague from the same organization. He was able to sync this share on his machine with the local OneDrive client. My colleague had a breake for 6 months, during this time he was not working on that share. Today he starts again with the work. We realized that it's not possible anymore, to sync the shared folder (where Im the owner of the share) with his local OneDrive Client. Accessing to the share over web is no problem. Why is that so? Is there a workaround? If not, this fact would make the cooperation work over OneDrive really useless. After research I did find this information: Source: Microsoft - Add and sync shared folders to OneDrive Thank you in advance.Solved8.4KViews0likes3CommentsNew Teams rollout schedule for GCC and GCC High customers

Hello, we got a problem with FSLogix. We are using FSLogix for about 3 years now and everything works, but there is a problem with the local folders (local_username folder). We got no redirections running, so there is just the default folders like temp being redirected in that local folder. As we got a new software which saves data temporary to the local_username\temp folder, we noticed that there is a problem with the folder creation / delete. FSLogix creates sometimes new local_username folders with numbers added. On some computers there are folders with numbers from e.g. 1-6. The actual used folder is the highest number. A problem now occures, because when logging on at another machine, the TEMP variable points at the local_username\temp folder with no number and this folder of course doesn't work because the acutal used folder set by fslogix is local_username5\temp for example. Why are these folders with additional numbers are being created and how to fix this? We can't find a solution. Thanks in advance for every help!474Views0likes1CommentJoin us April 20 for an insider look into the Microsoft Teams Emergency Operations Center (Webinar)
