Hi, Just letting you guys know that you are pushing the OneDrive agenda way too much and you are repeatedly misguiding and misrepresenting users on how and where they should store their files, without acquiring proper permission, without disclosing proper procedures, and without informing users on the consequences of their decisions. It's not your place to dictate to users how they should store their files and where to store them and organize them. Additionally, I have brought this up to support in the past: Windows Updates get installed and before I can even login, I get these blue screen prompts to go back to using Edge, as well as to use OneDrive, and to "Backup with OneDrive." The users are essentially being pushed or tricked into agreeing with whatever you want them to do and this is completely wrong. Where do these backups go? What are the folder structures? What "apps" get backed up? How do you offer Restoration in the event of a failure? What is the proper procedure to recover lost files? Do you have File/Version History? Who said it's correct, for example, to synchronize the Windows Desktop among computers? Who is issuing all these incorrect procedures on file management, backup, and synchronization?3Views0likes0CommentsExcel Online Synchronization Issues
Good day, I have noticed recently that the excel online file, stored in our sharepoint drive, takes long to upload changes. It takes about 3 mins. It used to take about 30 seconds. It even takes longer if the excel file is opened by multiple users. What could be causing this problem? Kindly assist.84Views0likes2CommentsOneDrive not syncing
Hi, I have added a folder to my OneDrive using a browser, waited for over an hour but it still doesn't show on my PC. OneDrive on my pc says "your files are synced" which is not true. Due to the general lack of verbosity in OneDrive, there is no way to tell when it will check again or when it hat checked last. Due to the lack of ease of use in OneDrive, there is no "sync now" button I would like to stop wasting money and continue my working day, what should I do? Regards, Robert.11Views0likes1CommentIssue with accessing personal vault on OneDrive app post restart
When I opened my onedrive mobile app today the app pushed a message saying that a restart was required. I restarted the app and it told me to set up my personal vault. I've been using my personal vault for several years now so no set up was required. When I logged into my personal vault, all of the files within it were missing. They're available on the online version of onedrive but not in the app version. There's nothing in the recycling bin and there's no recent activity to suggest mass movement/deletion of files. I've restarted the app multiple times, tried with and without wifi, and have tried on different devices - all are showing an empty vault. Has anyone had this problem? Is this a syncing issue or a bug with the new app?34Views1like1CommentOneDrive Office Hours | February 2025

Hello I have tried the following to exclude from Search a folder with the name "TEST" in my OneDrive root, as specific User have access to that folder by using a flow only they can see the created documents in search results. I need to hide that documents and I am deleting that documents after an Email is send from that flow, but its essential that nobody can find the documents over the search in SharePoint. So I have excludes the path to the folder by using the following steps: (1) Went to site settings of my OneDrive (2) Clicked on "Result Sources" and was setting up a "New Result Source" (3) Created the following query with the QUERY BUILDER: path:"https://xxxxxxxxxxxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/UserName_company_de/Documents/TEST" -ContentTypeId:0x0120* (4) Test was showing NOT that folder (5) Checked if the folder was showing up without CONTAINS NOT by using the same query without "-" "ContentTypeId:0x0120*" and it was working, folder was showing up as only result. (6) Set that "Result Source" as DEFAULT. After that I tried to search in OneDrive, the folder still exist in the search results. I tried the same from the Home Page in SharePoint Search field, same result, I can see the folder... If somebody knows another way please let me know ;) Thanks in advance.

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?19KViews2likes9Comments
