Shared OneDrive folder not visible on Ipad App – Microsoft Community.Recent issues

 

I did what you had suggested, opened my settings from my OneDrive folder, under the Account Tab, i clicked on the link to \”choose folders\” and i could see that all of the folders were already checked, so in theory they should have synchronized automatically but they did not.

I thought i would try login to the web version of my OneDrive and see if i could synchronize from there and I have now began the sync process. It seems to take an awfully long time to synchronize by the way! It\’s been about 15 minutes so far and the one folder that i had added now appears in my local hard drive version of my OneDrive but in the \”status column\” next to the folder, it shows a cloud icon saying that the file will be \”available when online\”. I\’m never not online, so i\’m confused as to why it\’s saying that.

Also, does the cloud icon, which says that the status is \”available when online\” mean that because i\’ve only ever saved the file from the web version of my One Drive, that there will never be a literal locally saved version of this on my hard drive? It sounds like there is some problem with the way that your OneDrive client is running on your computer.

Frozenplasma and to everyone on this thread I have just fixed the problem for my own inability to see online-only folders on my laptop, and could only view them through a web browser.

I used the dialogue box under \”Or choose to make these folders visible\”. So I manually checked all folders. Then opened OneDrive locally through File Explorer, and anything that started syncing without my say so, right click and select \”Free Up Space\”, to make sure it\’s in the cloud, BUT I can now see it locally with the little OneDrive cloud icon, meaning it\’s located online only.

Microsoft is not accountable to anyone as a monopoly. It stinks. I hate OneDrive. It makes my job much, much more frustrating than necessary. I read you question. You did a great job of writing that.

It is indeed unfortunate that your experience level was low with OneDrive that you got sidetracked into asking about icons. I have received much help over the years and would like to extend that to you. As you can see, from the other comments, the basic issue of a solution is not really posted. You claim your problem is solved.

Yet, you don\’t take the time note exactly what it was that made the fix. First of all, always remember with all of these tech things to stop and restart OneDrive wherever it is running. If need be, reboot the machines. This can\’t be stressed enough.

Next, OneDrive is a virtual drive. Basically, there are files in the folders you can\’t see, as they are in the management software that creates the files and folders for you to see.

One of the \”features\” of OneDrive is that it won\’t synch files currently open. That\’s nice, until it makes a mistake. If the folder you are working from is opened by someone else and you attempt to move that folder into a sub-folder within the original folder, it will appear just fine right there. Then when you check on another machine through the cloud, the folder that has the file opened somewhere else won\’t show up.

Sometimes there is not really something open and OneDrive believes it is open. I am not sure why. It could be a bug in their management software. Regardless, some synchs do take some time, 15 minutes or so, no matter what you do and you can\’t force them any faster.

A quick way to determine if the management software thinks a file is in use is to just try renaming the root folder. You will get a message that the file is in use, but not by who. It could be someone was in there using a file and their machine crashed and the management software is stuck waiting on a response or something like that. I hope this helps everyone understand when someone takes the time to write a question like that we should all do our best to help that person and others.

It\’s not a trivial matter when it is not expanded on and left for others to guess about. Microsoft doesn\’t consider this the place to get technical support. You really should ask these questions where they want them. One had a similar problem with \”onedrive files are only displayed in the recent folder , not in the root onedrive folder\” and the other PC was ok. The bad PC has too many processes running and browser tabs open. By Restarting the windows 10, it fixed the problem. Now I can see them in both OneDrive My files and the recent folder.
