    Why when I transfer jpeg files from OneDrive it is twice as big?


    I was copying files from OneDrive onto Windows and the progress bar showed the entire folder was 100 MB when the actual folder size was 50-60 MB. I don’t think it is malicious, I’m just curious on what’s happening.

    I can't transfer files to Onedrive

    I am very confused. If I open Onedrive in IE I have the option using Share to email a file to someone or add a link to an email. However I need to transfer the files to Onedrive either by drag and drop or cilicking on open in File Explorer. Clicking on open works but drag and drop doesn't. I have trawled through some tutorials and they all suggest that I should be able to drag and drop from file explorer.

    Cant open JPEG

    Hello John,

    One possible reason why certain JPEG's wouldn't open may be due to file corruptions. To better assist you, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Were there any recent hardware/software changes done on your computer prior to this happening?
    • Does this error appear when opening other JPEG files or is the issue specific to a single JPEG file?
    • Does this error appear when you try to open other file types?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    We're looking forward for your response.

    Why were SMART Files Removed from OneDrive in Windows 10?

    Technical Level : Basic

    Summary

    This article details why SMART files, also known as placeholder files, were removed from OneDrive in Windows 10.

    Details

    OneDrive has gone through many changes in Windows 10, most notably the removal of SMART files (placeholder files) from OneDrive. They still exist in Windows 8.1, however they were removed, hopefully temporarily, from OneDrive in Windows 10 because of the
    fragmented sync engines between OneDrive on Windows 7/Mac, OneDrive on Windows 8.1, and OneDrive for Business. The following article details what changes the OneDrive team made and why they made them:

    From a development point of view, it's a much better approach to consolidate their codebase, but from a user point of view, it's very frustrating.

    Like many of us, if you want that feature back, please vote for it here on the OneDrive UserVoice page:
