OneDrive Sync Up Episode 22: File Archive with Trent Green
If you've been using site archive to manage cold data, you know the value of moving inactive content to cheaper storage. But sometimes you don't want to archive an entire site — you just need to archive specific files that haven't been touched in years. That's exactly what file archive lets you do. On this month's episode of Sync Up, Trent gave us a live demo showing how simple the experience is: Select your files, click archive, done. He also walked through the 7-day instant undo window (in case you archive something by accident) and shared how file archive can improve your Copilot experience too! File archive is coming to public preview in March 2026 for SharePoint sites. Admin-driven archive policies are on the roadmap for later this year.

3 file limit error in Personal Vault in spite of 1TB family subscription
I am having issues with my Personal Vault on One Drive. Its giving me error that I have hit 3 files limit in the Personal Vault on One Drive. In order to use more than 3 files , I have to upgrade to a 1TB plan. I am already a part of the Family Subscription and have 1 TB of space. I have just used 46GB of 1TB. Support is barely able to help me. Best they could do was tell me to logout and login. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my One Drive, and after setting up the Personal Vault, I am seeing the same issue. On 1TB , I can save as many files on Vault but I cant do for some reason now. It was working fine for last so many years but just today it broke after I edited and saved a file. Family subscription with 1TB allows unlimited files on Personal vault but basic plan allows only 3 files. Please help if anyone has a solution.
Can't get Onedrive to stop running on my computers
I don't want OneDrive on my computer. I have no need for it. I am currently switching from my desktop computer to my new laptop. I have gone to the Onedrive cloud icon on my taskbar on my new laptop and told it to unsync many, many times. Currently on my taskbar it has the line through it. When I look at Microsoft storage in settings, it shows that I have used 100% for Onedrive, yet I have unsynced it. My new laptop doesn't have any pictures in the picture folder. Is it trying to sync with my pictures on my desktop? I have a 1TB hard drive, I don't need Onedrive. IS IT TRUE MICROSOFT WON"T UNINSTALL IT? I really need some help please. Because of that, it has totally messed up using Outlook for my email and keeps telling me I can't SEND and in 19 days I can't receive email. Can you see what is inside the OneDrive that is supposedly full of files? And of course it wants me to buy more storage.OneDrive for Android: Camera Backup keeps uploading screenshots
Hi all, Every so often when I check OneDrive, I see my Android phone has uploaded screenshots as well as camera photos. In the Android app, when I check the Camera Backup setting, the "Back up device folders" has the setting "Camera, Screenshots" However, when I click that value, and go into the "Organise new backups in subfolders" list, the Screenshots folder is _not_ actually selected as one to be uploaded. If I turn the folder on, then off, OneDrive will temporarily not upload images from my Screenshot folder. But eventually, it decide that again it should do this. How do I make this behaviour stop permanently? P.OneDrive Office Hours | January 2026
