SharePoint permission change notifications not working
Problem: Trying to get Microsoft Graph change notifications when permissions change on SharePoint/OneDrive drive items (sharing, inheritance breaks, access grants/revocations). Using Prefer: includesecuritywebhooks on subscription creation as documented subscription creates successfully, but the header appears to be silently ignored (notificationQueryOptions is always null in response, Preference-Applied header is always empty). What works: Regular content change notifications fire fine. What doesn't: Zero security notifications on any permission change. Subscription request: POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions Prefer: includesecuritywebhooks { "changeType": "updated", "notificationUrl": "https://...", "resource": "drives/{driveId}/root", "expirationDateTime": "2026-06-12T00:00:00Z" } Permissions (all with admin consent): Files.Read.All, Files.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Read.All, Sites.FullControl.All, Directory.Read.All Already tried: Both v1.0 and /beta endpoints same result Every relevant permission combination But the official document says it should work: Link to documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/concepts/scan-guidance?view=odsp-graph-online#receiving-webhook-notifications-for-security-events Any working example or confirmation of current status would be extremely helpful. Happy to share more details or test specific configurations.
Prevent File download for all users for all files on OneDrive and Sharepoint
Hi! Is there any way to absolutely prevent download of files from SharePoint and OneDrive for all files and all user in my organization? Actually, I want to prevent any local work or local data store on my-users's computers. It means that i want also disable the "open on Desktop app" button, and the printing options. All the work is done via the browser. I know that it is possible per file or per library on SharePoint, but i want to set it as mandatory unchangeable policy for all my users. Thank you!
Sharepoint link shared with me does not seem to be working
Hi, With my new job I was shared a link to my personal gmail address for a folder of documents I need to become familiar with. This was done with an invite link to a Sharepoint folder the documents are kept in to my gmail. When I click the link it prompts me to log into my outlook account. When I log into my account with the same gmail address as the one the link was shared to I do not see the folder that was shared to me. I tried logging into my gmail on outlook and clicking the link again, to the same result. Both times what I see is a web based outlook page with no emails, no documents shared on the “shared with me” tab of one drive and the only documents present are the cloud backup of my personal computer on one drive. I tried downloading the sharepoint app and logging in this way, but it says I need a school or work email and I can’t log in with a personal email address. It’s important I be able to view these documents. I would appreciate any help telling me how to access them.Root folder for OneDrive synced SP libraries - custom name?
I am migrating local network shares to SharePoint libraries that are meant to be synchronized to local devices via OneDrive. I will use Intune policy to auto sync set of libraries. When libraries are synced they are saved in the path as below: C:\Users\ExampleUsername\Example Company Limited\Actual Site - Documents In the navigation bar it looks something like this: Is it possible to set a custom name for the Company folder without actually renaming the Entra ID tenant name? I tried the policy that sets a custom OneDrive sync folder by setting the below reg key. This worked for OneDrive sync root folder but the SharePoint sync folder remained unchanged. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive\CustomSyncRootFolderName Background to my question: Portion of data that is to be migrated has long paths. Once synced via OneDrive I will be facing long path errors due to Windows Explorer limitation that can only handle paths under 260 characters long. Based on my testing the files will stil sync and be "browsable" but users won't be able to open them or modify. I want to shorten the SP sync root folder name to reduce the full path to under 260 characters. The below example path is 72 characters long which takes a significant chunk of 260 characters that Windows Explorer can handle. C:\Users\ExampleUsername\Example Company Limited\Actual Site - Documents I am already looking at renaming folders and libraries and flattening the data structure but there is a limit to what I can acheive there due to the client requirements. As such I am trying to trim path lenght whenever I can.
Upcoming change: Retirement of noise suppression capability for ODSP video
We're writing to inform you of an upcoming change to video playback features in OneDrive and SharePoint. What's changing: Starting July 1, 2026, the noise suppression feature for video playback on OneDrive and SharePoint will be retired. This feature, which reduces background noise during video playback, will no longer be available in the web playback experience. Based on usage data and our ongoing effort to streamline the video experience on OneDrive and SharePoint, we've made the decision to deprecate this capability. Please share your feedback through Noise Suppression Feature Survey so we can continue to improve the video experience on OneDrive and SharePoint. What this means for your content: Your video content is not affected. No original files will be modified or re-encoded – this change only impacts the playback experience. Noise suppression will no longer be available as a playback toggle option when viewing videos stored on OneDrive or SharePoint. No changes to other video and audio playback features – including playback speed controls, captions, and transcripts – remain available and are unaffected by this change. What administrators need to know: No admin action is required. The noise suppression option will be removed automatically after the retirement date. There are no tenant-level settings to manage for this change. Alternative options: If noise suppression is important to your workflow, please consider these alternatives: Pre-process your audio using a dedicated noise removal tool before uploading to OneDrive or SharePoint. Record in a quieter environment or use a directional microphone to minimize background noise at the source. We value your feedback: We understand this change may affect some of your workflows, and we want to hear from you. Please share your feedback through Noise Suppression Feature Survey so we can continue to improve the video experience on OneDrive and SharePoint. All other video playback capabilities on OneDrive and SharePoint remain fully available. We're committed to continuing to invest in features that help you get the most out of your video content.
SharePoint without Sync (Advice Needed)
Our biggest challenge with SharePoint is how to roll it out to End Users with no SharePoint Experience (many of these users are engineers/site based on slow(ish) internet connections. We have large (+100,000) document libraries with long paths. Sync has been a massive issue, the default behaviour has been to just use File explorer to access files, resulting in sync errors and accidental deletion of files. I am looking for advice on turning OFF sync (in the document library settings) I have concerns about doing this, as there are always times when it is easier to Sync, and this is essentially a global setting (set for all users) Has anyone had any real life use cases/experience of doing this. I cannot think of any alternatives.Total Size of Preservation Hold Libraries

I need to calculate the total space being used by items in Preservation Hold Libraries in our tenant. Thanks so much for the help in advance.
External Sharing log
Hello everyone, I am looking for a suitable solution for a customer case! The customer shares a lot of data with external customers via SharePoint and OneDrive. He would like to receive an overview / log of when the data was accessed and processed externally. The notifications can be used as standard - but this is not comprehensive, since the customer would like to have some kind of log. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a solution? Many THX
