ISSUE
This error will appear if you have two versions of OneDrive installed.
STATUS
This has been fixed, and we now support running both standalone and App Store versions of OneDrive side by side.
ISSUE
Videos recorded in slo-mo and uploaded either through automatic Camera roll backup or manually in the app do not play in slo-mo as it is recorded. Instead they upload at normal speed.
WORKAROUND
OneDrive does not support uploading a video as slo-mo, but we are investigating. A workaround is to Share the video from your iOS gallery to OneDrive:
-
Open the video and tap
-
Then choose OneDrive as the share option.
Users of iOS 16 may not be able to use the two-fingered pan gesture to select multiple files in OneDrive. We are aware of the issue and working on a solution.
Workaround
Select one photo first, then use two fingers to slide to select multiple files or photos.
ISSUE
Some users are unable to find files they know are present in their OneDrive.
WORKAROUND
Use File Explorer or Finder to browse your OneDrive to the correct file. Opening and re-saving the file may improve its discoverability on mobile or at OneDrive.com.

ISSUE
Some customers may see the error "items weren't added" when trying to add items to an album that has been shared with you.
STATUS
You cannot add images to someone else's albums, only to shared folders. We're working hard to remove the Add items button which shouldn't be there.
ISSUE
Some customers may see that their Personal Vault folder displays text in the wrong language.
This is because of a difference between your OneDrive language settings and your PC language settings.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
We have started to deploy a fix, but there are two workarounds immediately available:
-
Change your Microsoft Account Profile language settings to match your PC language settings (Start > Settings > Display Language).
-
Sign out and close all browser windows.
-
Rename your Personal Vault folder:
-
Sign in to OneDrive.com
-
Unlock your Personal Vault folder.
-
Choose Rename from the top menu bar. This will synchronize your language settings.
-
ISSUES
Any customer using a router which has BT Web Protect enabled will not be able to access OneDrive. Because BT Web Protect works at a network level, it's applied to all devices using your home BT Broadband connection or BT Wi-fi when logging in with your BT ID.

Disable BT Web Protect to allow access to OneDrive.
-
Go to the My Security Settings page.
-
Switch the BT Web Protect toggle off.
Note: If you're using a router that's not from BT, there may be additional settings you need to change to make it compatible with BT Web Protect.
ISSUE
Some customers are unable to sign in to OneDrive when using either PC, Mac, mobile or web browser.
