OneDrive folders when switching to a new computer
Hi All Let me first explain what I have setup I have created my OneDrive on my computer to sync only selected folders to my SD card. (Many reasons and I have found this very useful) I customized the OneDrive location using this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/install-onedrive-on-an-external-drive-6307e24b-d7a4-493f-bf43-47345b2c11fe I now have a new computer and will be just moving this SD card over and all my data should be there and ready to go. I have only selected some of the OneDrive folders to sync and of them some of it is made locally available so I can work on them even if I am off line (like traveling on a plane with no internet) or am in the woods or very remote locations where I get no connectivity. Now to the question I plan to setup my new computer with the SD card and hopefully can follow the article (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/install-onedrive-on-an-external-drive-6307e24b-d7a4-493f-bf43-47345b2c11fe) and once more link up the SD card (with all the information it has locally) Where does Windows 10/OneDrive store information about which are the folder I have selected and what to do with them? I cannot find this information and maybe I do not need it - unsure about this. If I do as stated in article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/install-onedrive-on-an-external-drive-6307e24b-d7a4-493f-bf43-47345b2c11fe with the old SD card in my new computer will I be up and running or is there something I should follow to make this work well. Remember I cannot have the SD card in two locations to know the information. Any guidance or pointers from any one who has done this would be very helpful. I wish MS helps people who want to customize or adapt things by giving more clear instruction on how they design or document so people can customize. I struggle with this and how MS does their software. While on OneDrive - anyone written batch files on the computer to create onedrive folders, then share it with users along with setting expiration dates? These can be done on the browser, but one folder at a time with clickoholic interface and it gets repetitive very quickly if you have to do this for 40 students every semester - Of course MS has not way of doing this at all (at least to my knowledge and my reading)
Shortcuts to Folders Synced Between Two Computer Desktops
I have OneDrive installed on a work desktop and a laptop I use at home and when traveling. I sync the desktop between both machines. I want to have a shortcuts on my desktops that open OneDrive folders. This previously worked fine for me. But I recently had to reinstall OneDrive and I am unable to configure it properly now. The shortcut works on one machine or the other, but not both. If I create the shortcut on the desktop it works correctly there, but not on the laptop. If I create it on the laptop, it won't work on the desktop. The failing "folder" looks like this: Because the file path is slightly different (because of unique usernames) I tried using a variable instead: "C:\Users\%username%\OneDrive - Company Name\Work Files" But that still didn't solve the problem. Can someone help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!".tmp.driveupload"
I am having an issue where my word doc (set to autosave to OneDrive business desktop app) on my PC is suddenly saved in a ".tmp.driveupload" folder online under a different file name (random numbers), with autosave switched off. If I do not notice this happening, the change to the document is not saved under the expected folder and file name, resulting in no change made to the file I opened. The only workaround I've found is to "save a copy" and overwrite the file I opened in the original folder. This only works if I notice the sudden name change and file save in the tmp folder. If I don't, the changes are lost because the tmp file is deleted (to recycle bin) on exit and the tmp folder is not synced to my PC. I have to go online to the OneDrive business website, guess which file it may be, restore that from the OneDrive recycle bin, and hope it is the file I was looking for. The frequency of this happening means that there are numerous tmp files under pseudo file names to scour through. One-hour plus on the phone with MS Office subscription support is of no help.
Missing OneDrive options in classic context menu - Windows 11 24H2
HI A few days ago, OneDrive options have gone from the Context Menu (classic - I didn't go back to a new context menu). That happened on two computers OneDrive version 25.149 (I enabled preview as I thought it may solve the problem, the issue happened once I was on the production version) I found an old topic there with registry key deleting, but I don't have these keys. My menu looks that: No option for OneDrive - share, download, save on disk, previous version. OneDrive is set to files on demand. Is there any option to restore this option? Without resetting OneDrive/reinstalling it?
Forcing share to Onedrive business
Background: I have Onedrive personal & business both set up and working. I have a shared link that I want to connect to my onedrive business. Onedrive auto logs in to my personal account regardless of the chrome profile, login status of either onedrive, browser used etc. Apparently the ultimate solution is: open an incognito window, paste the sharing link which opens onedrive online un-signed in. Now: I enter my business account login (a *.onmicrosoft.com account) and before even getting a password screen I get Interestingly (to me), if I open the same browser, type onedrive.live.com, click signin and enter the same business account it logs in fine. Please help, thanks in advance. Mullin

I have a pc with onedrive business. It hosts my personal files and a a library shared across the workgroup members. Files are hosted in a certain directory of the "D" disk. Now the question: I would like to make it possible that a different windows user that belongs to the same sharepoint workgroup can sync the same windows folder on the D disk after logn to windows. My problem is that the file in the library should mantain the same paths even if the windows user changes, so I cannot create a different syncng folder for each windows user (not to mention the waste of space). Is there a way to achieve this?Corrupted Excel file ? / Fichier corrompu ?
Corrupted Excel file? Hello I had just finished my Excel file (two hours of work) saved on OneDrive when suddenly the file screen went black. When I tried to open my file saved on OneDrive, it didn't work. When I try to open the downloaded file, I get the following error message: “Sorry... Excel cannot open two workbooks with the same name at the same time.” If I try to open it via the OneDrive website, I get the error message: “We're sorry, we can't open this workbook in the browser because it is hidden.” I am using Office 365. It seems that the file is corrupted. Is there a solution to recover my file? Thank you in advance for your help. ------ Bonjour Je venais de terminer mon fichier excel (2 heures de travail) enregistré sur "one drive" quand subitement l'écran du fichier est devenu noir. Lorsque j'ai voulu ouvrir mon fichier enregistré sur one drive cela n'a pas fonctionné. Lorsque je tente d'ouvrir le fichier téléchargé j'ai le message d'erreur : "Désolé... Excel ne peut pas ouvrir en même temps deux classeurs portant le même nom". Si je tente de l'ouvrir en passant par le site one drive j'ai le message d'erreur : "Nous sommes désolés, nous ne pouvons pas ouvrir ce classeur dans le navigateur, car il est masqué". Je suis sur office 365. Il semblerait que le fichier soit corrompu. Existe-il une solution pour récupérer mon fichier ? Merci d'avance pour votre aide
