Using this OneDrive app for work or school
For you to sign into your work or school account on OneDrive, your organization needs to have a qualifying OneDrive, SharePoint Online or Microsoft 365 business subscription plan.
Crashes at least 2-3 times in a typical 30 minute session. Sometimes 4-5 times. No “select all” feature to download multiple files. Selecting 30 photos to download, for example, is very time consuming. When uploading multiple files from a folder on your drive some files are missed and others are uploaded twice. C’mon Microsoft. This is the third decade of the 21st Century and you’ve still not got it right.
Why of why do my filters not sync (and this happens frequently). I have checked my settings. They are correct. Don’t blame the user. Don’t blame the phone. Your app does not work seamlessly as it should. I am currently on wifi and my files still won’t sync. Of I need to restart my phone to fix this, then somewhere there is an issue with your app. I have had photos on my phone for days that have not yet synced.
Whoa, this app is bad. I have mostly avoided ever using OneDrive, but recently my NAS stopped syncing, so instead of spending a ton of money on a new NAS or a cloud service, I figured I’d sync my mobile photos with OneDrive. The interface is terrible, clunky and laggy. On top of that, the app will sync a few photos, then crash. I have been trying to sync my phone’s photo album for two days now, and I don’t think I’m halfway through it. So bad.
This is one of the best apps I have that’s with keeping my photos and my documents safe and in one place and organize at the same time. It’s consistent and I’m grateful to be able to find whatever I might be looking for in one place. As a perk, there is a private vault, a place, pin protected, where you can keep private documents/photos.
