Awareness of temporary adjustments in Microsoft OneNote
*For the most up to date information related to service updates please visit the Message Center. If you do not have access, you may request Message Center reader role access from your IT administrator.* Awareness of a temporary adjustment for file attachments in OneNote To best support OneNote customers worldwide during these unprecedented times, we're making a temporary adjustment to the download limit of file attachments in OneNote. We do not expect this change to impact most users, but we wanted to make you aware and share best practices. We'll restrict the download of file attachments to 100MB. Most OneNote clients limit file uploads to 50MB, so this shouldn't impact most attachments, but there are scenarios that permit larger files that will no longer successfully download without one of the following workarounds: Attach as a cloud file — This is the best way to ensure that others can access the file without restrictions. If you have access to the file, upload the attachment to SharePoint Online first and then link to the attachment from within the Notebook. (If you are using OneNote for Windows 10, you can do this in one step by using Insert > File > Upload to OneDrive and insert link.) Attaching as a cloud file lets others with access to the notebook view your attachment without any size restrictions. If you don't have access to the original file, use either of the two workarounds listed below to obtain the file, and then attach it as a cloud file. Open your notebook in OneNote for the web (go to https://www.onenote.com and then click the purple Sign in button) and save the attachment by right-clicking the attached file and then clicking Save As. Use OneNote 2016 or another desktop version of OneNote to download the attachment. Thank you!91KViews6likes25Comments
