Wow, what an incredible year of updates, new innovations, announcements, and of course, time with you all-our valuable customers, partners, and OneDrive users to gain valuable feedback that helps drive our product to be great! I wanted to wrap up the year with highlights of some of our key moments to and share resources for you to indulge in. Reflecting on OneDrive's Recent Innovations As we look back on our journey this year, we’ve introduced many features and updates to the OneDrive experience. From AI-powered capabilities to improved user interfaces, these updates help you work faster and more efficiently. Some of those highlights include: Copilot in OneDrive (Web) One of the exciting features we announced was the general availability of Copilot in OneDrive for web. Copilot is there to help you work faster and smarter by generating summaries for large documents, comparing differences between multiple files, and answering complex questions using stored data. Whether generating ideas for new documents or quickly finding insights, Copilot became a valuable productivity companion.

Now, you can view, edit, and organize your files at lightning speed—even when you're offline. Whether you're browsing through large libraries or filtering documents, everything feels faster, smoother, and more responsive. Colored Folders on Windows We introduced colored folders in Windows File Explorer, bringing a splash of color to file organization. You can customize folders with different colors, making it easier to organize and locate files. Whether managing personal projects or work documents, colored folders added a touch of personalization to file management. Colored folders in Windows File Explorer Sync Admin Report Export Capability (Public Preview) For our IT admins, we rolled out the Sync Admin report export capability in public preview this year. Enabling you to export detailed sync reports, gaining valuable insights into your sync performance and troubleshooting sync-related concerns more effectively. Enhanced OneDrive Search experience We understand that searching for specific files among a mountain of documents can be time consuming. That's why we introduced a suite of enhancements to OneDrive, designed to optimize the search experience. These updates made it quicker and easier for you to locate the files you need, making the whole process faster and more efficient than ever before. OneDrive’s next generation improvements As part of our continued commitment to bring the best OneDrive experience to you all, we introduced new enhancements to work better across M365 apps. The integration of the OneDrive app in Outlook allows you to access your OneDrive files directly from Outlook, making it easier to share and collaborate on documents without leaving your email. And we can’t forget about Media view helping you find and enjoy your media files easier than ever.

Recovering Files Lost After Changing OneDrive Folder Location
I lost my files on OneDrive after restoring the location to default. Here’s what happened: I set the Desktop location back to its default to remove the "OneDrive" keyword from the path. I clicked "OK" despite some warnings. As a result, all my folders on the Desktop disappeared. When I checked the OneDrive website, the files weren’t there either (I suspect the OneDrive sync hadn’t completed before I made the changes). How can I resolve this issue and restore my files?
some account can't upload files to Onedrive.
Some previously created accounts cannot upload files to OneDrive, but newly created accounts can. The uploadurl for the old account is“ https://my.microsoftpersonalcontent.com/personal........”,while the upload address for new account is “https://api.onedrive.com/rup/........”,and I didn't send the Authorization header and bearer token when i issue the POST or PUT call. I only send it when I issue the GETcall.is anyone know why and how can I solve it?
Remove 'desktop' links permanently
Hi All I already tried searching Google for it, but I can't find info on how to remove obsolete OneDrive icons from the desktop (Bureaublad). In this 'explorer' view I have in the tree the 3 working OneDrive folder links. However on the 'desktop' (Bureaublad) view I see old obsolete icons eg. 'CEAN B.V. (32 bits)'. When I right-click I get the option to delete (verwijderen) and it will be removed. It will however re-appear after refreshing the view. So how do I remove it permanently? Is it something in the Registry? If yes, where to look for it. I cannot find any settings in OneDrive itself. Thanks for any suggestion. With kind regards Ludo
Modification loss in excel files hosted on OneDrive
On December 4th I discovered losses of modifications in some files. When opening an Excel file I often work with, I was suprised since I was sure I added some lines into it a few days ago. I looked at version history and found a strange behaviour on December 4th: several versions on 29th November 15:06 with the same size. One of the 3 versions of 29th November 15:06 seem to be the latest in terms of modifications, even the size was similar. So I manually recovered this one. I did the same on a 2nd excel file to confirm the issue. Other files may be impacted. How can that happen? Could it be a ntp issue leading OneDrive not to know which version is the latest? I opened a case at MS support, but they closed the case w/o resolution. They even didn't try to understand the issue, just sending a TN how to restore a version of a file. But first I need to identify all the impacted files, then to find the correct version. I can't do these actions manually on hundred or maybe thousands of files. How could I proceed? Do u think it is related to Excel or OneDrive or to sthg else?App Folder is being named "Graph"
There is an issue where the App Folder is being named "Graph" instead of the intended Application Name for some users, specifically those uploading to "my.microsoftpersonalcontent.com." Scenario: 1 A user logs in to the application and OneDrive via OAuth. 2 The user uploads a file to OneDrive. Expected Outcome: The file should be uploaded to /apps/**MyApp**/SomeFile.txt Actual Outcome: The file is uploaded to /apps/**Graph**/SomeFile.txt The upload process utilizes the following special URL: OneDrive API: Get Special Folder https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/api/drive_get_specialfolder?view=odsp-graph-online The request is made using: POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/special/approot:/SomeFile.txt:/createUploadSession This returns a URL for posting the upload: https://my.microsoftpersonalcontent.com/personal/XXXXXXX/_api/v2.0/drive/items/YYYYYYYY/uploadSession?guid='XXXXX4-4YYYY-bCCCDDDDDDD'&overwrite=True&rename=False&dc=0&tempauth=d3f4f4f4f4f....NOW ON DEMAN | OneDrive Office Hours | November 2024 |
