OneDrive For Mac Problems
Hi there, For the last couple of months I've been seamlessly using the OneDrive integration for MacOSX which allows me to have my company SharePoint/OneDrive document folder shortcutted into my finder window; allowing me access without having to login to the browser SharePoint everytime. February 15, 2025 is the first day I noticed an error message saying that it was refusing to sync. The following day I received a message from OneDrive saying that some random file in my SharePoint name was too long and because of that it refuses to sync. Now, I've been on the edge of my sanity the past two days as I've tried effectively everything from deleting & redownloading OneDrive, to changing the location of the folders, to backing up my computer and factory resetting my harddrive; all to now avail. I can't even have the OneDrive software open long enough to poke around the settings because as soon as I open it up, I get an error message saying that a filename or pathway is too long and it rage crashes. I was I guess wondering if anyone else has found, over the last two weeks, this has been happening and how to fix it? I would like to have easy access to my company files again.
Can I delete data on my computer after transferring it to OneDrive?
I just started using our Microsoft 365 account. I want to collect my current files in a single archive. I have 1TB of memory on Onedrive. Is it okay if I delete all the data from my computer after transferring it to OneDrive? Or does all my data have to be on both OneDrive and my computer?
OneDrive and Windows File Explorer
Have a OneDrive structure with several levels of folders. There are several differant company names with the same file structure under each of them. I am sharing just certain folders with an individual but in File Explorer you cant see the names of the folders above the shared folder. On a MAC it shows the file structure from TOP to were the shared file is . Any suggestions? Thanks, BradTroubleshooting OneDrive Sync Issues: A Step-by-Step Guide

File Explorer slow in Onedrive Folders
Hi all I'm using the latest version of Onedrive together with an updated Windows 11 and FSLogix (latest version) with Office profile disks. When using the file explorer to open folders from onedrive folders in the middle pane, it takes 10-20 seconds till the next window opens. When navigating in the same file explorer window but with the left treeview, everything is fast. When opening a file from within Word, Excel, ... with the popup file explorer, everything is fast. So the issue is only when clicking in the main window of a file explorer. I've done already all the updates, sfc, dism, reinstalled Onedrive, ... The issue is with all users.
Slow OneDrive uploadspeed!
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! BR
Signing in
I'm having trouble signing in to my OneDrive on my Wife's phone (we have 365 - she is included). When I go through the sign-in process it gives me a number to select in the "Microsoft App". I don't know what that is ! So I opted for an email instead, which I received. That contained a link to the password reset dialog. I don't want to do that. How can I actually sign in the OneDrive ? ThanksCircular blue arrows never go away on many files
Win 11 user with OneDrive. I create a lot of photoshop PSD files and, from them, JPG files. At one point, those would all get a green checkmark after a bit, but for quite some time now, they all stay blue round arrow circles. Likewise for many images saved from Snipping Tool. I'm still able to save Word and Excel automatically to OneDrive, but I don't know what could have cause this to stop with picture files on my Documents folder. I've only used about 20% of my OneDrive space, so it's not about that. ... You can see the clear line of delineation in the image from Exploring attached. On Aug 5, I used Snipping Tool to create jpg "A" and it's got the green check. But everything since, like image "B", created exactly the same way, stays blue arrows. This keeps me from being able to access my work when on the road. Would love some idea what could be stopping these files from moving successfully, since I don't see any error messages anywhere. ... In the second screen print, you can see that it ALWAYS says "Syncing" in Exploring (Should it? Should it ever just say "Synched"?) and that I've not filled my quota. Help appreciated!
how 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!
