Copilot prompts answers in word document in OneDrive
Hello I think I made a mistake tonight, I am discussing and learning a lot with Copilot and I don't have good memory. A while ago I started using Microsoft 365 and OneDrive to document some info because I use it for reference. I never had any problems before tonight. I was just playing with my last document in word. I then got a signal and a link to the Microsoft security hub. I did not have any bad intentions, did and do not plan to distribute or sell. The terms of use contract stipulates that we can use the resources for personal use. Hope to touch base Thank you7Views0likes0CommentsWhy are all the files I copy in OneDrive only in OneDrive ?
Hi. I recently copy all my documents in OnDrive for save, because I am writting my PhD thesis and want some saves. The problem is that I wanted to keep my files in normal files, on my computer, and have a copy in One Drive. But now, each and every files that I copy are only in OneDrive. Each files of my computer are now sync with OneDrive. But I want to keep files on my computer and copy them in OneDrive only when I want to, not automatically because now I don't have any normal files on my computer. How can I repair this ? Thank you in advance,95Views0likes1CommentStop "Backup this document" prompt in Office
Every so often when I open a file in Excel or Word (perhaps about one in five), I get a prompt that says "Backup this document to OneDrive". I use Windows11 and Office365. I have every option for OneDrive backup turned off. I have it set for all files stored locally, all folders are off for backup in OneDrive settings. Anytime OneDrive asks me to back something up I dismiss it. How can I turn this nagging prompt off permanently?1View0likes0CommentsSharing photos in One drive with Samsung user
Help! Have family 365 account and have set up a file of thousands of family photos. In the past no problem. Sent to their email and then they could access the file with all the photos coming up and viewed online. They have a Samsung phone. Now the link is there to the file but each photo needs to be downloaded separately. Any ideas how to resolve?18Views0likes2CommentsOneDrive direct download link
Hi, We have tried to get direct download link or to access publicly shared drive file with Graph API . It seems that the the URL structure has changed as well as the API. The thing behind the API is that i cant access file though https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/shares/{sharedDriveItem-id} this endpoint since when i get the link and try to encode it to get sharedDriveItem-id the response is that the "The sharing link no longer exists, or you do not have permission to access it.". Anyone has any idea how to get direct download URL from initial public share URL give by someone? Thank you.35Views0likes0CommentsModification loss in excel files hosted on OneDrive
On December 4th I discovered losses of modifications in some files. When opening an Excel file I often work with, I was suprised since I was sure I added some lines into it a few days ago. I looked at version history and found a strange behaviour on December 4th: several versions on 29th November 15:06 with the same size. One of the 3 versions of 29th November 15:06 seem to be the latest in terms of modifications, even the size was similar. So I manually recovered this one. I did the same on a 2nd excel file to confirm the issue. Other files may be impacted. How can that happen? Could it be a ntp issue leading OneDrive not to know which version is the latest? I opened a case at MS support, but they closed the case w/o resolution. They even didn't try to understand the issue, just sending a TN how to restore a version of a file. But first I need to identify all the impacted files, then to find the correct version. I can't do these actions manually on hundred or maybe thousands of files. How could I proceed? Do u think it is related to Excel or OneDrive or to sthg else?53Views0likes2CommentsPhoto comments not backup to OneDrive
I frequently add comments/descriptions to the pictures in my Android and iPhone, however after spending a few nights backing up my albums, I found out only the photo files are uploaded and no comments are included. Is there a way to upload with comments or is that a limitation of OneDrive?45Views0likes1CommentOneDrive Windows 11 App Synch Problem
Hello, My OneDrive synchronization app for Windows 11 no longer synchronizes, it gets stuck at a finished download (26.9GB of 26.9GB at 0.0 Kb/s) and does not continue. An upload didn't work (anymore) either, I cleared or moved the storage space, but nothing happened in the app. I have logged into the app again and everything has to be synchronized, but as I said, it is now stuck during the download. I have read and tried a lot on the Internet, such as the reset, which somehow sometimes works temporarily but on the whole only takes time with the amount of data, is there no easier reset or cache clearing option? or is my plan with the sharing of folders from 2 family subscriptions and 11 Microsoft accounts on 1 main account for up to 12 TB of data simply too much? MFG ----------------------------------------- German Version: Hallo, Meine OneDrive Synchronisations App für Windows 11 Synchronisiert nicht mehr, er bleibt bei einem fertigen Download (26.9GB von 26.9GB bei 0,0 Kb/s) hängen und macht nicht mehr weiter. Ein Upload hat ursprünglich auch nicht (mehr) geklapptn, Ich habe den Speicherplatz zwar freigeräumt bzw. verschoben, aber es passierte in der App nichts. Ich habe mich erneut in der App angemeldet und es muss alles synchronisiert werden, bleibt aber wie gesagt jetzt bei dem Download hängen. Im Internet habe ich viel dazu gelesen und probiert wie z.b. der reset, was zwar irgendwie manchmal zeitweilig funktioniert aber im großen und ganzen auch nur Zeit bei der Menge der Daten schindet, Gibt es keine einfachere Reset oder Cache leeren möglichkeit? oder ist mein Plan mit dem Teilen von Ordnern von 2 Familien Abos und 11 Microsoft Accounts auf 1 Haupt Account für bis zu 12 TB Daten schlicht zuviel ?

hello,recently I found that personal account can't search files by GET /me/drive/root/search(q='{search-text}') . I am sure the target file exist in OneDrive. I can access it by GET /me/drive/root/children.is anyone know why and how can I solve it? here are my personal account testing result screenshot: the folder named "Documents" is exist. and the search result is a empty array also, here are communications records in Microsoft Q&A: https://learn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/answers/questions/2133894/onedrive-rest-api62Views0likes0Comments".tmp.driveupload"
I am having an issue where my word doc (set to autosave to OneDrive business desktop app) on my PC is suddenly saved in a ".tmp.driveupload" folder online under a different file name (random numbers), with autosave switched off. If I do not notice this happening, the change to the document is not saved under the expected folder and file name, resulting in no change made to the file I opened. The only workaround I've found is to "save a copy" and overwrite the file I opened in the original folder. This only works if I notice the sudden name change and file save in the tmp folder. If I don't, the changes are lost because the tmp file is deleted (to recycle bin) on exit and the tmp folder is not synced to my PC. I have to go online to the OneDrive business website, guess which file it may be, restore that from the OneDrive recycle bin, and hope it is the file I was looking for. The frequency of this happening means that there are numerous tmp files under pseudo file names to scour through. One-hour plus on the phone with MS Office subscription support is of no help.2.8KViews0likes6CommentsOneDrive Direct Download Link
Hi all, My Problem and Question This question pertains to OneDrive for personal use. Microsoft recently made a change to the link format from the embed feature and made my direct download links obsolete. I would retrieve these links from the embed feature in OneDrive and the links looked like what's shown below. The link would directly serve the file to whomever accessed it without them ever having to interact with OneDrive. With the changes Microsoft recently made to OneDrive, is there a new way of getting links that have this functionality? Old link format (no longer works): https://onedrive.live.com/download?resid=XXXXXXXXXXX&authkey=XXXXXXXXXXX My Own Digging I've scoured several forums unable to find any solutions. I have found a temporary solution; however, the links generated via this method only have temporary authentication, so they expire after a day. Perhaps it could be a real solution if I could figure out how to get a permanent auth token for a personal OneDrive file. I'm retrieving the link from the GET request when clicking the download button on a file from a publicly shared link. Link format: https://my.microsoftpersonalcontent.com/personal/{resid}/_layouts/15/download.aspx?UniqueId=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&Translate=false&tempauth=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&ApiVersion=2.0 Thank you to anyone that has input!2.6KViews0likes5CommentsOpening OneDrive files from Finder on Mac does not enable Autosave like on Windows.
Hello all. I am having an issue with using OneDrive on Mac. If I open a file, say a Word doc or PowerPoint, on OneDrive through Finder, the Autosave feature will not be on by default. If I do the same action on Windows through file explorer, it opens with Autosave turned on. When I try to turn on Autosave in Word, it prompts me to upload a new version onto OneDrive. This would make a new copy. And that new copy, if opened from Finder, still will not have autosave turned on. However, when I open the file from within the Word application or Excel or PowerPoint, autosave is turned on automatically. I would like for files opened from my OneDrive folder in Finder to open with Autosave turned on by default. This is how it works on Windows.67Views0likes0Commentssome account can't upload files 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?1.3KViews0likes2CommentsRecent files
Recent files show files have been accessed today within minutes of this message. I have not accessed these files in most cases in months and in some cases years. I have tried Microsoft support but they haven't been able to help. Example: I have a word document called AC placement. I have not opened that document in more than a month. In the Recent area it shows that I accessed that document at 3:20 PM today, minutes before this post. I have excel document callled Sprinklers which I have not opened in 6 months. It lists ti as opened on 10/19/2023 at 12:10 PM. I am trying to understand if there is a probelm with oneDrive or is someone else accessing my documents through oneDrive.39KViews0likes15CommentsHow to delete old OneDrive folder from computer
Previously, I used OneDrive with one account and have now unlinked that account from OneDrive. After that, I deleted the OneDrive app on my computer and reinstalled the OneDrive app and logged into the new account. However, I cannot delete the old OneDrive folder from my computer. It keeps giving me errors and won't let me delete it. Please help me and show me how to delete the old OneDrive folder21KViews2likes13CommentsDownloading photos from onedrive only allows a .json format.
Trying to download photos from the web version of Onedrive, and the only possible format I can use (ie will only allow me to select) is a .json, which obviously won't save as a photo. Anyone know why this is? Have tried as a different user, and believe it is OK, so this user has somehow changed "permissions" (or something...) somewhere? Also, if I share, I get no choice of permissions etc for the recipient. Clues please. Thanks.2.9KViews0likes6Comments
