Unusual behaviour on my PC. Access to all Microsoft services blocked.
One Drive does not connect. Microsoft.com loads on Chrome & Firefox but the link to the Microsoft account login page is dead. Outlook.com does not load at all. Connect to VPN (same country) and access to all Microsoft services reappears. Disconnect from VPN, connect to mobile hotspot (different ISP) and problem appears again. Reinstalled windows and problem persists. Wiped HDD and installed Linux and the unusual behaviour continues on Firefox and Chromium. Weird! All other devices on broadband and mobile internet are behaving normally. Any ideas? Curse? Nation-State?
Add Shortcut to Files fails
My wife and I have a family Office 365 subscription. I have shared a folder with her with permissions to edit. She gets the email confirming this and can open the link and see the files in the folder. When she clicks "Add shortcut to My files" she gets a message "1 shortcut wasn't added". This happens using Onedrive web (through Edge) and on the Onedrive app on her iPhone. On the iPhone she hit "Add Shortcut to Files" and it says "By addding "Folder Name" to your OneDrive, you can sync it on your computers with other OneDrive files". When she clicks OK it says "Adding" and then comes up with a message "Something went wrong". Any ideas?
OneDrive for Business sync client issue - not finishing
Hi all, I’m experiencing an issue where OneDrive does not finish synchronizing. It runs for about an hour. Upload is not starting until download worked fine. Everything seems to set up correctly: Internet connection is working No large file involved (9,9 MB of 10,3 MB) Logged in sucessfully Free space available loacally and in OneDrive No sync conflicts E3 License is active and paid No Windows updates Pending (Windows 11, version 24H2) Tried solutions: Restarted OneDrive Restarted Windows Paused and resumed sync Stopped and restarted sync What i am wondering: My local OneDrive version is not listed in the https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/office/onedrive-versionshinweise-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0 .... How can I identify the specific file causing the issue? I don’t see the filename currently being processed. Help highly appreciated :-) Regards, EricForce OneDrive/Excel to return the local file path instead of a cloud URL
Hello, I have all my 3D models stored in a OneDrive-synced folder, including the Excel file that controls many of the model parameters. I work on three different PCs, so using OneDrive for synchronization would be ideal. However, my modeling software Solid Edge runs into a specific issue: it does find the linked Excel file in the OneDrive-synced folder and attempts to open it, but as soon as it tries to read the parameters, it gets stuck in an endless loop. The reason is that Excel no longer provides a normal local Windows file path for the workbook—even though the file is fully available offline. Instead, Excel exposes the OneDrive/SharePoint URL, and Solid Edge cannot process this URL, which causes the loop. What I have tried so far: Enabled “Keep files on this device” for the entire project folder Completely shut down OneDrive (disabled it and killed all OneDrive processes in Task Manager) Tried changing the stored Excel path inside Solid Edge from a local path to the OneDrive URL — Solid Edge does not accept URLs as valid paths None of these attempts solved the issue. If anyone has a reliable method to make Solid Edge read a OneDrive-synced Excel file as a local file path, I would really appreciate your help.OneDrive error code 0x8004de26
We are a school system and are having an issue with our OneDrive app not allowing us to sign in. Things had been working until about 2 weeks ago and things stopped. We are having the issue across multiple users. We are on Windows 11 laptops and desktops and are trying to sign into the app to get items saved in on the desktop to syn with OneDrive accounts in the cloud. The sign-in process either simply spins or we get error code0x8004de26. I am wondering if anyone has resolved the same issue or has ideas? Thank you.
OneDrive speed problems. Symlinks?
I'm having problems with slow syncing my local OneDrive folder to my online OneDrive. I recently added about 40K symlinks to my folder and I'm suspecting that could be the cause. But NONE of my symlinks are pointing to network files. They all point to local files in my local OneDrive folder. I just want to sync the symlink files themselves, not the files the symlinks point to. Those files will be synced separately since they are in the same tree. I have about 85K files in my OneDrive and, as I said, about 40K of those are symlinks. OneDrive has been syncing for 2 days now and it still says there are 82K files remaining. It's only syncing about 100 files per hour. I'm pretty sure it's the symlinks that are making it go so slow. Before I created all the symlinks, syncing used to be pretty quick. Alternatively, is there a way to tell OneDrive to just ignore symlinks? I only need them in my local OneDrive folder tree and I don't need them online in OneDrive. I'm the only user of the files. If I don't get a good solution from someone here, I'm going to try writing a program that moves all my symlinks to a temp folder tree outside OneDrive, finish sync'ing the real files, and then move the symlinks back to their original location. But this is risky and I'm worried about corruption. Why didn't Microsoft give us an easy option to ignore symlinks? :-(
