Files shared with Anyone sometimes prompt users to request acccess to the file
My company is experiencing an intermittent problem where sometimes a OneDrive for Business file shared with the setting "Anyone with this link can edit" prompts the user the file is being shared with to request access. If the user tries to open the file a second time, they can then access the file without requesting access. We're wondering why that access request prompt sometimes happens and how to prevent it. It doesn't happen consistently, so we're having trouble reproducing and troubleshooting it. Has anyone seen this before and know how to fix it?Files [READ ONLY] but no indication they are, so cannot save changes
I have the latest (ends in .1212) client and am still seeing an issue that has been there since the initial release back in Sept/Oct. I can open a file in Excel, either from the MRU list in Excel, using the File|Open menu, or double-clicking on a file in Windows Explorer. (Win10). The file opens and there is no yellow bar that says it is read only with the [EDIT] button to use the file. The title bar in Excel with the file name doesn't say [READ ONLY]. You only find out it is read only when you try to save, and Excel tells you you cannot and then offers to save a copy. The fix is to close and reopen the file. Then the yellow EDIT bar comes up. But of course you've lost any changes. This never happened with the old Groove client, so this is something unique to this new much improved client. I've reported this through official channels via the REPORT A PROBLEM menu in OneDrive but nothing ever substantive comes from it. "Run a /reset command", "reinstall", "resync the library", "oh yeah, we know about that, thanks" But we are getting close to release and I'd love to see this fixed.
"UPLOAD BLOCKED We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions
In word or excel I get an error saying "UPLOAD BLOCKED We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions to upload the file." and "The permissions on this file were updated and you no longer have the rights to view this file. If you previously made changes to this file, they may not be saved." These are my files that I created in my programs, save in my OneDrive. Why can't I use my files?! The discussions in this forum are no longer relevant to help with this problem. There is no "office tab" when you click on the OneDrive icon and select settings. The only discussion from 2023 is for a Mac OS. I am using Windows 11.Regular prompts from Defender Firewall about OneDriveFile Co-authoring
I receive regular prompts from Defender Firewall about OneDrive File Co-authoring. (FileCoAuth.exe) appdata\local\microsoft\onedrive\21.020.0128.0002\filecoauth.exe The file is identified (by defender) as being from Microsoft although the location (in my appdata) makes me suspicious that it could be malware [surely this is bad practice] and the fact that defender keeps blocking it (you'd think the OneDrive teams would have a working relationship with the Windows & defender team) doesn't add to my confidence. So questions: 1) Can anyone else confirm if this is really where MS keep this file? (what's wrong with program files etc.?) 2) Anyone know why defender keeps blocking it (My guess is that it's related to version updates and defender seeing a "new" app connection but why doesn't any update "deal" with issue? Especially as the defender dialgos often come up behind other open apps and go unnoticed for a while! 3) If other people aren't getting this, why am I? [I have a lot of trouble with sync in Onedrive - which I have thus far put down to having 5 Microsoft 365 tenants and personal drive active at the same time and editing across licences]
Upload Blocked: We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions to upload the file
For the last several days, I have had this message in Word/Excel/PowerPoint when I have been editing files that are synced to my machine using OneDrive for Business. It also appears when I open a file direct from Word Online, SharePoint Online or Teams. I have tried stopping the OneDrive sync, removing the files and then re-syncing, but I still get the same message. My files that are stored in OneDrive for Business and not in SharePoint Online are fine and can be edited and synced as expected. I am using Windows 10 Pro Build 1803 Any suggestions would be very welcome
