Mac: OneDrive Couldn't Start: Please restart your computer and try again
When OneDrive updated on 9/11, with build 26158.0816, I started to get this error: OneDrive Couldn't Start: Please restart your computer and try again. Error codes: FilterStatus::-3 (0xfffffffd) [Permanent] [SyncRootManagerTools.cpp:128 `Odfs::Fs::CommonPlaceholders::CommonSyncRootRegisterVnop`] I have powered off my Mac and rebooted. Restarting OneDrive does nothing. It keeps giving me this error and as a result, I also cannot live edit docs using the thick clients (Word, Excel, etc). Files I have modified with them are stuck on my Mac. I am looking for tips. Please do not ask me to unlink/de-register all of my Onedrive sync'd shares.
Please help, OneDrive sync and missing/deleted work files
I have OneDrive installed on both my PC and laptop because I use OneNote sometimes. The other day while I was on my PC, OneDrive randomly decided to sync my laptop and PC, I think, and all my files from my laptop were on my PC. This is a big problem because my PC is for personal use and laptop for work. Then I deleted some files thinking they were still on my laptop anyways. But today when I opened my laptop, all of my work files were gone. My desktop was just my PC desktop. I need help because the work files were really really important and I'm freaking out. Why would OneDrive do this? They are separate, I don't want them synced. Please help. Can I recover them?
Share Macro enabled workbook(s)
I have a folder with a macro enabled workbook which I want to share. I followed the share routine with success in getting the folder shared. However, when I try to open the workbook on the shared computer, I get messages saying it is not a "trusted site" and can't enable content. I have tried the widely published suggestions to fix this with no success. Why does OneDrive not work with macro enabled workbooks?? Is there a solution I have not seen??
Help with Onedrive and Samsung Gallery
Hello. I am a Samsung user. I understand that the backup features between Onedrive and the Samsung Gallery are ending. The notice on my device says to download the original files before the connection between Samsung and Microsoft officially ends or they won't remain on my phone, but whenever I try to do this I only get very few items available to download and it says these available items are only items 'not already on your phone'...which I don't understand. I simply want to keep what is *already* on my phone that I have backed up with Onedrive so I don't lose it later, as instructed. I don't understand. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. I would like to keep photos and videos already on my device on my device so when the collaboration is over I'll still have them there. I think backing them up up on One Drive means that if I cut off the sync on the Gallery's end, it'll just remove the images synced to Onedrive already right out of my phone gallery and keep them on Onedrive. I am very confused. Help, please. Thank you! Someone suggested simply removing separating my Microsoft account from my Samsung account but I don't know if that's the answer either.Onedrive file sync issue
I just recently had an issue where my files were not synced because i had run out of onedrive storage space so i just got rid of a bunch of unnecessary files sitting around which freed up a ton of space.

I kept trying over and over again but the same kept happening and now i cant sycn my files. Ive tried everything, restarted my computer. Reinstalled onedrive but its all not working and my files and folders wonf sync. What do i do to fix this?Onedrive not showing files!
Hi! I'm having big problem with OneDrive. Today my C drive was low on space and i read that you could change the location of OneDrive. I did change the location from C drive to I drive and decided to move OneDrive back to C drive location again to start reformat my pc. But my files are missing after synced with the OneDrive and my total usage was 34GB now it shows 43GB and at the OneDrive settings under account it shows only 430KB used on this pc. I'm having headache and I hope my documents didn't get lost. I did chat with one Microsoft agent and did reset OneDrive and said could thing but after I restarted my PC nothing happened. Pictures are missing and had a folder in the picture folder having documents plus other pictures in the screen folders are all missing. Thanks for the help.Windows automatically moves my custom Snipping Tool screenshots folder into the OneDrive folder.
This is a privacy concern. I never chose to back up or sync my screenshots with OneDrive, but Windows/OneDrive automatically changes the location of my Screenshots folder. I manually set the folder path to: `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Pictures\Screenshots` However, after some time, it is automatically changed to: `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\OneDrive\Pictures\Screenshots` I do not want my screenshots stored in or synced with OneDrive, and the folder location should not be changed without my permission.
OneDrive “Share” window stuck loading from File Explorer (works on web)
Description: Hi all, I'm experiencing an issue with OneDrive where the "Share" option from Windows File Explorer gets stuck indefinitely loading (blank window with spinner). Details: The issue occurs only when using right-click → Share from File Explorer Sharing works correctly from OneDrive web interface Issue is affecting multiple users in the same environment OneDrive sync itself is working normally Troubleshooting already performed: Reinstalled OneDrive completely (clean install) Cleared local cache and removed residual folders Reinstalled Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime (Evergreen x64) Cleared Windows Credential Manager entries Reconnected Work/School account (WAM reset) Tested on different networks (including mobile hotspot) Windows fully updated Environment: Windows 11 (corporate environment) Microsoft 365 / OneDrive for Business Observation: The issue seems isolated to the File Explorer integration (possibly WebView2 or WAM-related), since web sharing works fine. Has anyone experienced this behavior recently or is there any known issue with the OneDrive Explorer integration? Thanks in advance.Constant messages saying I'm over the 5 GB limit
I have hotmail and outlook. There is a free 5 GB one drive limit. I started receiving messages that I am over the 5 gb free limit. I deleted several GB. The message goes away for a minute and then says I am again over thghe 5 gb limit. Why is this happening. i am deleting a lot of files. How do I get rid of the free 5 gb one drive.
