OneDrive file blue in progress icon meaning?
I uploaded some videos to my OneDrive Photos section, but they don't show up under Photos. It shows up under Files -> Photos with a blue in progress icon next to it. This didn't happen a month ago, and I couldn't figure out what the icon meant. At first, I thought it was syncing, but it's been 11 hours, and it's still there. Any ideas? thanksOnedrive Web search : "Location" column always shows "My Files" for folders path
reproducible bug in the OneDrive web search results Summary: the "Location" column systematically displays "My Files" for folders, regardless of their actual location in the directory tree. This does not affect files — files correctly display their real path in the same column. Expected behavior: The "Location" column should display the actual parent path of the folder (e.g. My Files > Subfolder A > Subfolder B ...). Actual behavior: The "Location" column displays "My Files" for every folder result, regardless of where the folder actually sits in the hierarchy. Note: The same search correctly shows the real path for files inside those same folders. The issue is exclusive to folder-type results. Environment: Account type: Personal Reproducible: Yes, 100% consistently Impact: This makes it impossible to disambiguate between folders with the same name located in different parts of the tree when using search. Please let me know if additional information or screenshots would help. Thank you.
OneDrive changing dates
I have an S24 ultra with pictures dating back to 2001 till the current day. I have thousands of family photos that I was able to gather and organize, and wanted them to be synced with OneDrive so I can access them on my PC and my phone. I decided to get OneDrive to be able to upload ALL of my gallery to OneDrive however, I noticed that around 80% of everything getting uploaded has its dates changed to the time it was uploaded, while a handful remains accurate. I made sure it wasn't the way I was viewing the folder and files, and checked the properties/info of the files and saw that all the dates and data were changed. Is there any way to fix this or prevent this from happening?
OneDrive on MacOS Eating Up Huge Amounts of Storage
Hardware: M3 Max MacBook Pro 14" (14 Core CPU/30 Core GPU, 36GB, 1TB) Software: MacOS 26.4 OneDrive Version: 26.002.0105 (Mac App Store version) I use OneDrive to sync files between my PC (primarily used for gaming) and my MacBook Pro (pretty much everything else) mostly because I'm paying for Office 365. I've noticed in the MacOS storage storage section of settings, there's something taking up ~170 GB of storage. Digging around, I found the culprit: Library>Cloud Storage>OneDrive is currently sucking up ~143GB of storage. It seems like OneDrive is keeping large numbers of files stores locally. Legitimately have no idea why this is the way it is, or how to solve the issue (or if there is even a resolution). Like, why bother with files on demand when the application is going to store half the files locally, anyway?
anyone else keeping files on two clouds just in case onedrive goes down?
hey everyone seen a few posts here about files going missing or sync just stopping randomly and it got me thinking about how much we all just trust one cloud completely my situation is i have onedrive for work, google drive for stuff i share with clients, and dropbox still has old project files from years ago that i never got around to moving. so im constantly opening three different tabs just to find one file. pretty annoying honestly couple months back onedrive just didnt sync a folder for a few days. i only found out when i needed something on another laptop. nothing was actually lost but it made me a bit nervous about having everything in one place with no backup plan so i started looking for something that just shows all three drives together. found a tool called All Cloud Hub (allcloudhub.com) and been using it since. it puts all your connected drives into one dashboard so you can search across all of them at once instead of checking each one separately. you can also move files directly from onedrive to google drive without downloading anything to your computer first which saves a lot of time it connects through oauth so your login details never go to them and your files stay in your own accounts. nothing gets copied to their servers. free plan covers up to 3 cloud accounts which was enough for me wont fix microsofts sync issues obviously but at least if something breaks on one side your files are still somewhere else does anyone else do something like this or is it just me being paranoid lol
OneDrive Photo Memory email template
Is there a way to provide feedback on the "photo memory" email template for OneDrive? It recently changed in a way that seems like it was not written proper English or for the US locale my account is in. Maybe it was AI-generated and not proofread? Note how it used to have the subject of "Your memories from this day" and indicate dates like "Month DD". Now as of Feb 12 it instead in the subject has a shouty (with the exclamation mark) backwards (to a US user) of "DD Month!", which reads very strangely, and the "Over the years" text after that is an odd fragment. It seems this string was not properly reviewed and should be revisited. The email itself is also really odd and has leading zeroes for single digit day numbers, which is also demonstrative of a lack of attention to detail: The call to action of "Check it out" also is oddly written and would benefit from "Check It Out" as the casing, or a more natural string like "Open in OneDrive" which actually is descriptive of what happens. Also: one thing that has always bugged me about the email template before the recent change was that the email itself does not indicate which year a photo came from. It should not require I jump into the OneDrive app to check what year a photo is from! (I realize this is the OD4B forum but not sure where else to submit this feedback other than directly pinging people I used to work with at Microsoft) Thanks for reading!
