Windows 10: Lost permissions for my own OneDrive folder

Hello,


I have a OneDrive folder with photos and videos in it. While trying to access one of the subfolders in that folder, it says for most of the objects in that folder that I don't have read permissions so I cannot view the photo/video. When I right click on the folder and select Properties > Security > Advanced, I gave "Full Control" to "Everyone" but it didn't fix the problem.


Any help is appreciated

:)

 

OneDrive folder permissions - Fix


Found the problem.

While you are still listed as the owner of each subfolder in the OneDrive folder, some subfolders no longer have inherited permissions enabled.

If you Enable inheritance and OK for each affected subfolder in the OneDrive folder, it will no longer have any access issues or UAC prompts afterwards.
