Why can I not see the 'People' section in Photos on the OneDrive app that is depicted in the following Microsoft support topic titled 'Group photos by people'. The purpose is to enable users to find photos that have particular people in them. Great feature, just can't find it in my OneDrive apps on either my Business or Personal Microsoft 365 services? Group photos by people - Microsoft Support Is this a new feature that hasn't been rolled out yet, and if so when is it coming?19KViews2likes9CommentsOneDrive Context Menu Missing on Windows 11
OneDrive Context menu missing Hi guys, I’m having some issues regarding OneDrive and it’s Context Menu not being present on files. Environment: Windows 11 23H2, Intune managed OneDrive Build: 25.005.0112.30003 (64-bit) Affected users: all I tried all the fixes I could find on the Internet, but none have helped. Devices don’t have issues with synchronization, they only have an issue with the Context Menu missing. I can only see Always Keep on this Device and Free Up Space. Even if I press Show More Options, only the same only two previously mentioned appear. Is there anything else which I could have missed? Intune policies – no one seems to control such a thing, the context menu. Is there really not a known fix for this issue? 1. UAC control - ⦁ How to change the User Account Control policies to allow OneDrive context menus - Microsoft Support In my case, both explorer and onedrive are with No, at the Elevated status According to the above article, the following Local Security policies are in place: 2.

For a few years i used an university MS-account with 2TB OneDrive storage. Now these cooperation runs out and i made my own MS account with those 1TB OneDrive storage. I have like ~500GB of data in that old OneDrive and right now try to copy everything to my new personal one... But the uploadspeed is horrible! Referring to speedtests I have like 50Mbit/s (Ethernet so quite stable) so ~ like 6.25MB/s upload. The maximum onedrive reaches is like 1.5MB/s.... and in average i get like 750kB/s... My PC is already running for 2 days... Do you have any idea to solve this problem or is this just something i have to accept? Is it possible that institutions like universities have better uploadspeeds, or are just prioritized and so on? Thanks in advance! BR100Views0likes7CommentsStop OneDrive backing up photos

Please help!16Views0likes0CommentsOneDrive link not working once shared
When sharing a video over OneDrive to someone else, once the other person gets the link...it just open the thumbnail and says wait for browser to start downloading..and it just stays this way for infinity. Workaround for this is to create folder, and share the folder instead. Tried same video over google drive it works without issue. This was a problem for me like a year ago. Is there some reason for this?35Views0likes0Commentshow to save two different computers seperately with the same microsoft account to one drive?
how do you save two differnt (or more your PCs) to the same one drive so they don't blur together? As my computers age, I tend to change them and thought I could save my old PCs to the cloud under one drive. Now I am confused. I think I might have done this before but I'm not sure. Since my new PC purchases, it drops all of my then current PC down into the device. My first new one was just a notebook and I wanted it to remain emptish/clean of anything in order to think. Also a notebook brain is not too big. I had it sinking, but I'm not sure how now. My new desktop also automatically just dumped the old PC (windows 10) to this new PC (windows 11) which I like sort of blank so I can relearn the computer and to start new. I only use one Microsoft and think they made it a law that we, the consumer, only has one Microsoft account, free or paid per person. Please help!5.6KViews0likes2CommentsOld Onedrive storage location on External HD causing problems with Windows apps on laptop
Hi Everyone, Until a few months ago, I used to work in an organisation, where I was given an office laptop linked to a Microsoft Onedrive account ("Official Onedrive"). I had set up a personal external HD (Per-HD1") to act as a storage location for this Onedrive account. Periodically, I would connect this Per-HD1 to my personal laptop, open the Official Onedrive, and it would sync my office data to the Per-HD1 in a sub-folder called "Sync-latest". I also had a personal laptop, an HP 2009 model, where I had built up, over the years, a sizeable inventory of personal documents. Other personal documents were saved on another external HD ("Per-HD2"). And lastly, I also used to have a personal Onedrive account since many years, which I used for storing some random news cuttings, etc, consuming less than 20% of the Onedrive allowance of 5GB. A few months ago, I left that organisation. At this point, (a) my office data was saved in Per-HD1 (b) my personal data was saved partly in the 2009 laptop, partly in my Per-HD2, and partly in my personal Onedrive. As I wanted to buy a new personal laptop and trade-in my old 2009 laptop, I copy-pasted my personal data from my old 2009 laptop to Per-HD1. I then bought the new personal laptop, loaded with MS Office 2021 Home & Student Edition, Windows 11, and simultaneously traded-in the old 2009 laptop to the seller, after formatting the hard disk. I then did the following: a) CUT-PASTED my personal data from Per-HD1 to my new personal laptop's C drive under "Documents" folder b) CUT-PASTED my last office data from the "Sync-latest" sub-folder in my Per-HD1 to my new laptop's C drive under "Documents" folder. Just to re-emphasise, the "Sync-latest" sub-folder on my Per-HD1, is the external hard drive location, where I used to sync my office data from my Official Onedrive. c) created a few more Word/Excel documents in my personal Onedrive. So now, my documents are spread out as follows: Some are in my personal Onedrive Some others are in my C drive under "Documents" Some others are in my Per-HD2 My Per-HD1, which does not contain any of my useful or relevant documents any more, but which is the source of the problem, now looks as shown below: CANNOT PUBLISH THE SCREENSHOT, LET ME KNOW HOW TO, SO THAT YOU GET A CLEARER IDEA OF THE PROBLEM The three folders shown in the red box above, have the following contents: 1. The "Sync-latest" folder has the following two (lowest level) sub-folders: (a) "Desktop" as shown below - which contains shortcuts to some personal documents (not from my old employment) which are located either in my personal onedrive, or in my Per-HD2, and whose shortcuts I created and sent them to the desktop of my personal laptop. CANNOT PUBLISH THE SCREENSHOT, LET ME KNOW HOW TO, SO THAT YOU GET A CLEARER IDEA OF THE PROBLEM and (b) "Screenshots" as shown below - which contains the screenshots that have been copy-pasted on this page, as shown below: CANNOT PUBLISH THE SCREENSHOT, LET ME KNOW HOW TO, SO THAT YOU GET A CLEARER IDEA OF THE PROBLEM As you can see, the "Sync-latest" folder on my Per-HD1, which used to earlier contain my synced office data from my Official Onedrive, and from where I had cut-pasted all my office data to my personal laptop's "Documents" folder, is still somehow "active" and contains the shortcuts that were created on my personal laptop (how??), as well as screenshots that I take from the screen snipper application on my personal laptop (how??) !!!! 2. The "OLD BACKUPS" folder contains my superceded office data 3. The "OneDrive Temp" folder looks as shown in the screenshot below: CANNOT PUBLISH THE SCREENSHOT, LET ME KNOW HOW TO, SO THAT YOU GET A CLEARER IDEA OF THE PROBLEM I noted that the above strangely numbered sub-folders were created at the time of the last syncing of my office data with Per-HD1 on the dates indicated. I recall running into some sync issues back then, but then was able to somehow (no idea how) ensure that all my office data was properly synced and available on Per-HD1, before I returned the office laptop. I have noted that deleting these sub-folders causes some unexpected problems, so restored them back from the Recycle Bin. So the PROBLEMS which require an urgent resolution are: 1. If I do not connect Per-HD1 to my personal laptop before starting it, OR if I delete the "Sync-latest" folder in Per-HD1, two major things happen: (i) each and every app on the home screen as shown in the screenshot below (in red boxes) disappears, but if I shut down the laptop, reconnect PerHD1, and then restart the laptop, these apps re-appear on the desktop and taskbar. CANNOT PUBLISH THE SCREENSHOT, LET ME KNOW HOW TO, SO THAT YOU GET A CLEARER IDEA OF THE PROBLEM (ii) none of the documents using MS office (Word, Excel, PPT, etc) can be opened, regardless of where they are stored - C drive, PerHD2, or personal Onedrive. NB: Non-MS Office documents, eg. PDF, wherever stored, can however be opened 2. If I delete the "OneDrive Temp" folder, some problem happens, whose details I have forgotten, and do not want to re-create the problem for fear of losing access to my data. In sum, as you can see, it looks like Per-HD1 has somehow got a "stranglehold" on my personal laptop, due to the fact that it used to be my Official Onedrive sync location. I need to, without losing any data, delink Per-HD1 from my personal laptop, otherwise I will have to forever carry Per-HD1 around with my laptop wherever I go. Just in case it is relevant to the issue, I had delinked my official Onedrive account from my new personal laptop, before giving my office laptop back to the organisation. And I had also delinked my old 2009 laptop from my personal Onedrive account. So now, my personal Onedrive account is linked only to my new personal laptop.38Views0likes1CommentOneDrive / Android automated camera roll back up without sync
Hello I am unsure if this is a Microsoft or Android issue so apologies if this isn't the place. I wish to have my Android (s21) camera roll automatically back up to OneDrive but without the two syncing together. If I wish to delete a photo from my phone I do not want this to delete from OneDrive but currently they do and I cannot find a solution to just have the camera roll back up without the sync in place. Is anyone able to produce a dummies guide to achieving this as I am not grasping other instructions I have found online. Many thanks for any assistance.224Views0likes2CommentsOneDrive is forcing users to login to upload content
All the settings appear to be correct so what is going on? As soon as they click the upload button they are forced to login and they don't have an MS account. This is not a cachine issue as I've tested it in EDGE with my gmail account and I never use edge This is for simply sharing a folder to others to contribute too.31Views0likes0CommentsOnedrive is asking users to sign in to upload
I have setup the proper security so I'm super confused on why an external user, non m365 is required to sign in to upload a file. After I setup the blow settings I share the link from the Copy Link button. it's not a caching issue. It's happening for me in edge which i never use and other users devices12Views0likes0Comments
