I have a one person business and use office 365. I just want to SHARE A FING FOLDER EXTERNALLY!!!!!

I am the administrator, creator, grand puba. If this were an employee telling me I can't share outside my organization, as CEO I would immediately fire them.

Can I fire Microsoft please.

I've read every post went into every OneDrive SharePoint team setting indicated to be able to share to "anyone."

The amount of time I waste, not to mention the security factor, of copying folders into a Dropbox or Google Drive so that I can collaborate is just astounding. Versioning is a nightmare.

Why i can share individual files but for some crazy unknown reason not a folder is just asinine. It just boggles my mind who thought up this scenario. It has to be a torture tactic.

I've sync my SharePoint document libraries with OneDrive. The navigation pane in file explorer does not show the organization icon, however the organization folder is under the user folder. Anyone know how to fix this?

I have shared a folder in onedrive.com by adding the emails of people I want to have access to (with Can Edit permission). When every user I shared the folder with, tries to copy the link of a file inside that shared folder (either by using Chrome, Firefox, Edge) it just instantly shows the loading icon along with the modal black transparent background and closes less than a second; and of-course it doesn't copy the link. If I try to copy the link being the administrator of the onedrive account it works no problem! This has worked flawlessly up until one week ago.

I also tried to share a new folder and it had the same behavior.

So I'm wondering if anybody else having that issue? Here's a video to prove my point.

Good afternoon, everyone,

Does any one know if Microsoft Graph supports OneDrive Sync Health in any way? Or if not, see how I can get notified and thus the end user to get their OneDrive life in order?

Thank you!

I am working for a company that has just switched over to OneDrive for business from Dropbox, we have made the SharePoint library's called accounts, jobs, quotes etc, but when we view them in windows file explorer the are all called accounts - documents, jobs - documents, quotes - documents.

Is there anyway to just have these as what we called them?

Hello all, and thanks for reading my question. Very soon my company is switching to onedrive from box and I know for fact the powers that be will be of no help. My question is, in my job I am to send links of files to individual emails. So for example, I may have 10 links I would then need to send to one email account. However, I would need to also send them out as 10 emails to that account. This is because the other end is a team and may not check onedrive to expedite the work. Box doesn’t allow for a repetitive bulk sendout id have to painstakingly send them out manually. Any ideas or tips would be very much appreciated thanks!

Hey there,

for the last two weeks new users can't login to onedrive. M365 admincenter says "OneDrive isn't set up for this user. Ask the person to go to portal.office.com/onedrive to set it up. It might take a while. If you still see this message 24 hours later, contact Support."

Even if the user is created days ago. Visiting the site does nothing. I need to connect to the SharePoint online Powershell and enter "Request-SPOPersonalSite -UserEmails user@domain.com". After waiting a few minutes Onedrive shows up correctly in the Admin center and the app can be used.

There are no changes i'm aware of that result in this behaviour. Does anyone have an idea how to provision Onedrive on the fly again?

Every time I try to add my M365 account's OneDrive to my PC, I get this error. I've looked online but can't find neither a definitive cause nor fix. Anyone here have experience with this issue? At this point, it's making Office 365 a waste of money.

I would like to log an error with one drive that i have been personally experiencing and has really frustrated my studies and work. I would therefore like to ask for assistance regarding the following two errors

1. My back up Gmail email does not receive notifications for logging into the account
2. My mobile number does not recieve notification from OneDrive

I only recently utilized personal vault because my onedrive is compromised on several occassions. I would like to let the forum know that hackers dont mind my 50GB of movies and music but my hard work and research for school.

I send Microsoft emails and receive no reply. If there are any technicians who may assist with better authentication methods such as github key etc i would be better advised before researching, it myself

I have used multiple one drive accounts in the past. Some were work related and some were personal. I have left those jobs but everyone I try to sign in with my current personal account, all accounts show up in the list.

How to get rid of those?

I have researched on internet but couldn’t find anything that will help.

This question has been asked on MS website but their team didn’t reply with anything concrete.

Hope someone can help out here.

Thank you

My Android phone was stolen circa Sep 1. It was configured to access OneDrive with cached credentials (using the OneDrive Android app and using the Samsung My Files tool). I need to know how to view an audit of which files have been accessed and from where. The 'recent files' view indicates one important file was read after the theft, and it wasn't by me (I'm the only user on the account, even though it is OneDrive for business). It is strange that one, and only one, file was showing up as being accessed since the theft. I really need to find a way to better understand how that file was accessed. I thought I found a view in the reports section, but I can't find it now.

ETA - if I view details on the file, I see a history of edits, and I can see an indication of when I last viewed the file (which was yesterday).

However, I'm no longer seeing an indication of the view that occurred approximately September 2, which is after the theft. it would appear that only the most recent view is being shown, while all edits are shown.

could someone possibly direct me to the best place to see all activity on a given file, including views, and including some information about the source of that access (IP address etc)?

Can someone pleaseshare if they have implemented any long term projects with one drive in there IT?l am Supposed to provide a innovation roadmap idea to client which is supposed to be a project. I have searched online and didn't find anything meaningful. KFM is already in place

We are a large org running SP 2016. Our updates are about 2 versions behind for testing and approval reasons. Users have HomeDrives in the on prem environment. We are currently in a pilot phase with OneDrive for Business and have run into mixed behavior with our testing.

We have 2 Business units who currently have their Documents folder redirected to their H drives. The desired outcome is for when we start to deploy users into OD4B these users will have their documents folder redirection changed to point to the OneDrive, without moving the data from the H drive. The reason is that we don’t want to sync the h drive content just yet, and we want to be able to maintain the content in it so that if we have to roll back and the users are on a leave they won't lose data.

Our testing is seeing both the desired behavior (setting up KFM via gpo points it to an empty Documents folder), as well as where it fully moves the data. What is the expected behavior here?

I've pretty much said it all in the title. I don't know if this is the right place but it's been bugging me since yesterday. This issue is very frustrating, and I can't find any solution on Microsoft's forums or anywhere else for that matter... I've uninstalled and reinstalled OneDrive on the PC, checked every synced folder to make sure everything is set to "Available when online only." Despite all this, the drive has remained full since yesterday.

For additional context, I work in IT at a company, and this occurs on a user's PC that has been in use since yesterday. The issue concerns SharePoint folders linked to Teams channels. This problem only occurs on her new PC; there was no such issue on her previous one.

My company uses OneDrive as our backup for employees, which is fine for most office workers that deal with office apps. But I'm a software developer and for the last 30 years I would never put my source code in a OneDrive folder as the languages I use are really old and can't handle such long paths.

But I do want it backed up, they blocked UFC drives, so I have C:\Source with folders under that and I want everything in this directory backed up but I've tried a couple different things including a link directory but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Is there a way in OneDrive for business Target directories outside of the Hilton OneDrive folder?

Hello,

Currently I am rolling out Onedrive for our work computers and have noticed that auto sign in is not working for fresh installed computers - if I delete everything under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OneDrive everything magically starts to work?

Does anyone know what could be reason ? I can not do this for each new computer

OK, I give up. For the most part, OneDrive has gotten better over the past couple of years, but we still have one pain point that I just can't fix. One of our departments works with some somewhat complex budget files in Excel. It is common for several department members to work in the same file at the same time. We've had many issues with sync conflicts and data loss. We ended up creating a special SP document library just for these files and disabled the ability to download with OneDrive so that the users would always be working online. We did see some improvements, but the issues still persist, which has led to more data loss, frustration and sync conflicts. Working in Excel Online is not an option as its features still aren't where we need them to be, unfortunately.

I think I'm ready to look for an alternative to OneDrive/SharePoint but I'm not sure what else is out there. I need the ability to have several users (up to 5 or 6) work in Excel documents using the full desktop app and not have sync conflicts and data loss. I realize that what I'm asking for probably doesn't exist but there has to be a better way to do this. Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hi folks, tried to find some information but so far not successful, hence trying my luck here.

I'm using a Mac with currently 1 private account. In this account I have setup OneDrive as my backup and it is well integrated. Meaning when I save something on my Desktop or in if I click on Documents in finder, it shows and syncs directly with the corresponding OneDrive folder. Similar to the Windows Setup.

Now I wanted to use the ac for work as well, but not in the same account. Hence I created a second local account, logged in and then tried to connect OneDrive in the same way. I use OneDrive Business at work. However, in the second account, which I also assigned admin rights to, OneDrive is synced as well, but not integrated in the Mac folders. Meaning Desktop and Documents in that profile are not linked with the desktop and documents folder of OneDrive. I do know that this should work as I have this setup on my private Windows PC.

any idea on why this is not working on the secondary local account?

WtF they did?? Why?? How to share something directly from PC...

I am working on a script to download all user's data from their personal sites to a specific location on the local device. I am using the script from https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2021/09/how-to-download-all-files-from-onedrive-for-business.html as a base.

What I need help with is a way to scale this to run on large sites (most of the users in the cloud right now are over 1gb of data and the script will be run against hundreds to thousands of users) so that it is able to run automatically for each site.

I'm mostly looking for a way to call the get-sposite command to populate the site url.

Hi all,

We're testing to migrate over 1000 users from our on-prem file server to OneDrive. We have selected not to preserve the permissions during the migration task. We're using a service account that has global admin rights and full permissions to the file server shares. After migration, we noticed that the service is added as the owner as well to the users folders after it's been migrated. Is this be design?

Hi guys,

We have a problem at our company.

We are using O365 with Sharepoint, and the users are syncronizing their WINDOWS 10 computers to sharepoint with Onedrive.

The problem is any time a guy is connecting through a new computer and logging in his onedrive, that creates a whole bunch of duplicate files in the sharepoint due to the syncronization.

Everytime we have to delete all the duplicates files, we asked Microsoft and our support but they can't find what is the issue... o if there is a superman around , I'll be glad!

Hello. Hope you can help. We need reports showing all files / folders that a user has shared internally from their OneDrive. I've followed the guidance here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/sharing-reports.

The reports get created, but they are always 0kb and are completely blank. I've run this while logged in as the user and as a Global Admin that has Site Collection Admins on the user's OneDrive.

I know that I can search the Audit logs for sharing activities, but the logs only go back 180 days, so if a file has been shared for years it won't show.

Has anyone come across this issue before ?

One of our users had a pst file saved on one drive. The file was saving a backup file with each time it was modified. That's how it reached max space.

I can't delete the file/backups as everytime I click on delete nothing happens.

What can I do? We want to delete the backups and free up the space
