  1. I lost my old OneDrive account and now I can't access files stored on my laptop.


    Hello! I have some important family pictures on my old laptop. Recently, I wanted to transfer them to a stick, so I can view them on a bigger screen. However, I couldn't even open them, because "OneDrive isn't synced". I tried to connect to that account, but I lost the password and acces to its inbox since it's a really old one. I tried syncing with another account in hopes of being able to sync them there, but no luck. I tried filling the form, but apparently, I didn't provide enough info. Did anyone else go through this? What should I do? Thank you!

    :)

    Access files cached locally in OneDrive for Business

    Hi Community!

    I have left my old company and I would like to know if there is a way to access the files I had stored in OneDrive for Business? I can see/explore the files in OneDrive synced and stored on my personal machine but cannot open them due to permission restraints. Are there any tools/suggestions to remove those permissions and open the files without having to contact my old IT?

    Windows 10 Pro 1903 64bit

    Thanks!

  3. Can´t access my files because of OneDrive

    Hi,

    I´m having problems with the file explorer in my computer (Windows 10): I can´t access many of my files and it gets stuck. I´m pretty sure this has to do with OneDrive. I´d really appreciate some help to solve this.

    Here´s the full story. I recently g****ndows 10 computer into the new ****der on my new computer, same with the Pictures folder, and so on. The new computer aut****´ve never used before; didn´t pay much attention to it. Now, I receive alerts that my OneDrive
    account is full, and now I can´t access my files (they just won´t open), and the file explorer gets stuck frequently. To prove that these problems were related to the OneDrive sync, I opened my old-computer folders (not synchronized with OneDrive) from an
    external hard drive in my new computer, and I was able to access the same files without any inconvenience.

    How I can recover my normal access to my files and folders?

    Thank you!

    Stored profile will not allow my user account to access some files


    This is a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L55t with Windows 10. I have had several instances where access to a file is blocked because of a stored profile. My user account is administrator and it should allow access to any file. I found the stored profile but I can't find any way to change it so I can access all files on my laptop. Do you have any suggestions that will help me solve the problem. Thank you
