Hi. I had some folders shared from different users in my OneDrive account. I had added the folders to my OneDrive with Add Shortcut to OneDrive button from Shared folders in cloud. The account is logged into a windows pc and every files including the folders shared with my were syncing fine until yesterday.

I am finding that changes I make to files on OneDrive are being replicated to earlier backed-up versions of the file (to versions that pre-date the changes).Today is 4/23. A shared file got jacked up and to fix it I pulled a backed-up version from 4/15, only to find that the same problems I was trying to fix were evident in this earlier 4/15 version (in the interim I also reviewed versions from 4/21 and 4/19, with same results). However, I noticed that the 4/15 version had formulas in it that I only input into the file on 4/21 (and this is certain - there was no need for the formulas before

I currently have set up a Form, and among the available inputs are a couple of prompts for the user to attach pertinent files (they might include zero, one, or two uploaded files). I have two Power Automate workflows set up - one to send an email to my team with a few key details about the recent Form submission, and one taking all of the Form inputs and placing it into a List that we use as a repository (but NOT any uploaded attachments). This works great.What I'd like to do is have the attached documents from the Form submission be attached to the email sent to my team. I don't really want t

Hello,A few years ago, y'all helped me create a button to start and stop a timer that would calculate the amount of time that has elapsed and would add it to the previously elapsed time (this allowed me to start and stop the timer without it restarting from 0 every time and keep a record of the accumulated "operating" time)I am back again because I have been trying to get this same function to work exactly as it did, but instead of a button calling the function, I wanted it to be based on a cell value. Just like when the button would trigger the start timer when it was clicked and said "operat

How do I sync a shared folder in OneDrive to File Explorer? There is no longer a sync button. Was there a recent update? The folder was previously accessible via my File Explorer and is no longer there. I still have access to the shared folder via the online url. I can add a shortcut to My Files, but that only adds a shortcut to the online url. I am currently on Windows 11.

I'm creating an evaluation in Forms using a quiz template. I work with several students who are each assigned to a different department. I want a multiple-choice option after students enter their first and last name, so Q3, for them to choose from and then be directed to the corresponding questions, which I've separated into individual sections depending on department. The branching option I've found in the template doesn't allow me to connect all the sections to a choice.

Hi, I have a. 2017 MacBook Air and hence use the OS 12 versions. I’ve recently found that OneDrive no longer works and based on other posts here, this seems to be a common problem caused by OneDrive updating to versions that no longer support my OS. I’ve moved the OneDrive app from the Application to Trash folder and downloaded a version based on links I”ve seen in other posts. When I run the installer though, I get the following error. Any suggestions please?
