What happened to keyword searching in One Drive?
I used to be able to search by keyword inside documents stored on One Drive (signed into One Drive Live website). Now the search function only seems to find keywords in document titles - not within the document itself. Has anyone else had this issue? If this is broken or gone now it pretty much makes One Drive pointless for me.
Question About OneDrive "Physical" Storage Location for Microsoft 365 Business Basic Plan
Dear Microsoft 365 Experts, I have a question. I recently signed up for a Microsoft 365 account with the "Microsoft 365 Business Basic" plan, where the domain name ends with "@onmicrosoft.ca" and I selected Canada as my home country. After creating this account, I was pleased to see that Microsoft Teams and Exchange Online are hosted in Canada. However, for OneDrive, the storage location is not specified. Why is the storage location not in Canada? I need to store my data in Canada for work-related compliance reasons. How can I change the OneDrive storage location to Canada? Thank you! MikeUploading and Saving a pdf file to OneDrive account on iOS FAILS with Sharesheet option
Uploading and Saving a pdf file FAILS with Sharesheet option from inside any app (like WhatsApp) to open Files app on iOS device and inside it choosing a OneDrive folder and then trying to save the file. It is confirmed that the upload completes when tried from Sharesheet to directly on OneDrive app without using Files app. The upload also happens when tried through OneDrive web. The problem is only when Files are tried to be uploaded on OneDrive account through Files app. The issue is not restricted with PDFs and photos, but occurs with all type of files. It occurs with all type of files like .docx, .xlsx, .pdf, .zip files, etc. This issue occurs from all apps when done through ShareSheet. It occurs when trying to uploading file from other apps via the Sharesheet option (e.g., from iMessage, Photos, or Mail). All the trouble shooting steps, viz. Clear Cache in iOS, Clear OneDrive Account Settings, Offloading the OneDrive app, Re-installing OneDrive app, have been tried multiple times on different iPhones. Yet the problem remains the same on all iPhones.SharePoint Online Dumps OTP Authentication for Sharing Links
After July 1, 2025, any sharing links generated with one-time passcodes (OTP) will stop working. Only links based on Entra ID B2B Collaboration will work. Users who lose access to content shared from SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business will have to contact the original sharer to ask them to generate a new sharing link. Sounds like a recipe for confusion, which is what might happen. https://office365itpros.com/2025/06/10/entra-id-b2b-collaboration-spo/
Block Screenshot when sharing "view only" file shared with OneDrive
Hello! I have been using this feature of "Share" and "Block download" and "View Only" with my work colleagues for files with sensitive content. Some months ago, I checked that when sharing using this method, the colleagues could only open the file in Office Desktop, and not Online due to security restrictions. Opening in Office Desktop, prevented the screenshot from being taken of any part of the file. Now, using the very same method, users can open the file in Excel Online, and hence, take screenshots. Is there any change in the option? This gives me no option to share a file with "sensitive content" and prevent screenshots. (of course, they still can take pictures using a phone...). Thanks for your support!O365 - EU and China
Hi Worldwide Org - based in EU - they have a Tenant - and are about to migrate all users personal files from fileservers to OD4B - (into the EU data center) However there's a subset of users that resides in China - and apparently there's some China regulations saying data "must" reside inside China - (china users connection to the EU Tenant/OneDrive are very slow) so how do I solve this "architecture" in the best way possible? Multi-geo is not an option as China aren't supported. Does the Company create a SharePoint Farm in China and let the users in China have their OD4B on that - what about collaboration on documents, ediscovery etc. etc. between EU/China users in those scenarios? Does the company create a separate Tenant inside China and initiate the B2B capabilities in the EU tenant? How have others solved this?
Office 365 AutoSave to OneDrive - how to choose the folder location where a new document is stored?
In any Office 365 application, such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint, the titlebar shows an "AutoSave" button. Upon turning this function on, a dialog pops up where you choose which OneDrive to save the document to, and where you enter a name for the file. See screenshots below. However, this dialog does not allow choosing in which folder on the OneDrive you want to save the document. All files get saved automatically in the "OneDrive/Documents" default folder. Is there a way to change the behavior of Office apps, so that the user can select in which folder on the OneDrive the file will be stored in by AutoSave?
