  1. Problems with OneDrive and Windows Microsoft account sync


    Hello,

    I have encountred multiple issues in windows recently:

    INFO - I am logged into Office already and Microsoft account is connected to windows.


    OneDrive wanted me to log in, but it didnt let me because my private account was greyed out, so I looked online and found this, where they say: "To sync personal accounts, sign in to Windows with your Microsoft account.", which I already did,

    so I tried disconnecting the microsoft account from windows and then revert it, I disconnected it successfully,

    but when I tried logging in again -> pressed "Místo toho se přihlaste pomocí účtu Microsoft." (Login with a Microsoft account instead.) and entered all of the credentials I saw this (I am the only user):

    (Behind the orange is my email address.)


    What can I do ?


    Thanks for any help!

    PS: Sorry for my English.

    Windows 8 with 2 Microsoft accounts?

    I was thinking of doing that, but it will be a PITA setting everything up on the 2nd account again. I might go that way and just spend the time getting the account in order.

    The problem is, I would need to switch at the start of every day. Extra reset and waiting for the settings to be applied etc. Also, I'm not sure whether one drive would be maintained after switching back to a local account. I wouldn't want to have to re-sync every time I logged in. I may have to do some testing to see if onedrive is maintained after switching back to a local account.

    OneDrive Placeholders are coming back, now called On-Demand Sync

    Problems with OneDrive and Windows Microsoft account sync [​IMG]


    "At Ignite 2016, Microsoft has just announced that it is bringing Placeholders back to OneDrive on Windows 10. Now, they are not called Placeholders anymore — Microsoft is renaming the feature to “On-Demand Sync” which makes a lot more sense than “Placeholders”.

    The company demoed this feature at Microsoft Ignite today, and it works just like it used to previously. As you can see in the screenshot above, the files stored in OneDrive weighed in around 9GB, but the actual size on disk was only around 3MB which is really neat. Of course, this feature isn’t anything new as it was available back in the Windows 8 days. However, Microsoft removed the feature with Windows 10, and after lots of waiting, they are finally coming back.

    In case you are not familiar with OneDrive Placeholders, it’s a pretty neat feature which lets you see all of your OneDrive files on your computer — but they are not actually downloaded on your PC. When you open them, OneDrive will download the files on-demand, saving your local space which is really useful, especially if you have a PC that doesn’t have a lot of storage.

    While Microsoft didn’t announce when exactly On-Demand Sync will be available to OneDrive users, we suspect it will be available with Windows 10 Redstone 2 — which is expected to arrive early next year.

    How to Sync OneDrive Account not Associated with Microsoft Account?


    Hi there,

    I am new to Windows 10 and hope you can help me. I am trying to set up my OneDrive account to sync across two (soon to be three) PCs and am having trouble.

    I have an account with OneDrive for business through my university. I installed OneDrive on my Windows 7 laptop to sync my main bulk storage files. I logged in with my university username and began the sync no problem. Now, on my Windows 10 desktop, when I try to link OneDrive with my university account, I am told that this Microsoft account does not exist. What am I doing wrong?

    Also, I want to log into my computer using a local account, but sync to my university one drive account. Is it possible to do this?

    Thanks for your help!
