OneDrive in File Explorer

Some things I'd like to see implemented for OneDrive in File Explorer
A different icon for folders online only / offline only / everywhere.
A different icon for files online only / offline only / everywhere.
The ability to view folders and files shared with me by others (having to do this in the browser is a pain).
Keep smart files / placeholders. If this is confusing some then simply offer it as an opt-in/out feature.
Implement the check-in/out feature of OneDrive Business, but more smoothly integrated and less like an afterthought bolted on.
Anything else anybody?

I'd like to see the ability to remove it entirely.  I don't want to save anything to the cloud.  I've disabled every piece of OneDrive possible yet it still shows up as one of the first save options.

  • Windows File Explorer running a bit strangely

    I was trying to do a date range file search the other day using window explorer. Windows explorer crashed whilst perfoming this search. Since then every time I start it up it shows the green progress bar in the address bar and just sits there spinning its
    wheels; doesn't show the root folder items, just Onedrive and My Pc and that it. Also, I don't see any file "icons" for images they are just blank and I'm unable to change the view type as all the toolbar items are greyed out!!
    I've tried rebuilding the icon thumbnail cache but that made no difference - I've had a search around but can't find anything.
    I'm not sure if it's related by I'm using onedrive and the web portal runs fine, but when I click the onedrive item in explorer it does the same thing, just sits there spinning it wheels...
    I'm using an HP Envy laptop running Windows 8.1 pro - nothing else bolted to it

    Perform a clean boot and check the results :

  • Sorting Pictures/Videos in File Explorer causes Explorer to relaunch.

    I have a folder with all my pictures and videos in it, and when I try to sort it by date(or tags, however I don't wish to), explorer crashes and relaunches, leaving the folder unsorted. I have the same folder on my boot drive, and also an external drive,
    but in both occasions explorer crashes. I have also tried to disable thumbnails, and changing the view to small icons/detail etc but I still have explorer crashing.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi SCOx,
    Please take a look at the following thread:
    Windows 8.1 File Explorer Crashing
    Please follow the steps below to generate an explorer dump:
    Copy the following into a new notepad, then save it to a reg file:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\Explorer.exe]
    "DumpFolder"=hex(2):43,00,3a,00,5c,00,4c,00,6f,00,63,00,61,00,6c,00,44,00,75,\
      00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00
    "DumpType"=dword:00000002
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\explorer.exe]
    "GlobalFlag"=dword:02000100
    "PageHeapFlags"=dword:00000003
    Then double click to import it; or open regedit.exe and then import the reg file to it;
    The next time explorer crashes, Windows error reporting would save a dump file under
    C:\Localdumps, find them and then upload it into OneDrive and then post the shared link here.
    After collecting the dumps, run the following reg file to stop dump collection:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\Explorer.exe]
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\explorer.exe]
    Further, also take a check at this thread:
    Windows 8.1 File Explorer crashes repeatedly
    with iPhone movies (MOV) files                                 
    If we have some related MOV files, we may temporarily uninstall the related update.

  • Bridge(CS3) conflict with Windows file explorer

    Bridge will crash on me at least twice a day. I use Bridge and Windows file explorer simultaneously copying and moving files across a network. When Bridge quits I sometimes lose my network connection and have a lot of trouble re-connecting.
    I have done the usual delete preference, trash cache etc., nothing seems to be working.

    Not sure what is going on there, but have a suggestion. You are increasing your odds of Bridge crashing, and trashing the cache, if you move too fast. When in Bridge wait for the spinning arrow in lower left corner to stop (it is building the thumbs) before changing folders.
    Don't see any correlation between network connection and Bridge crashing. Perhaps if you have a slow computer you are overloading it with tasks and it can not keep up. Minimize programs running at same time.
    Also, run task manager and see what the processor is doing. If CPU useage goes up markedly that will confirm the problem.

  • Can't Open File Explorer -- How can I reset the Quick Access Toolbar from outside of File Explorer?

    First of all, this is not a virus. This is my a bug within windows explorer itself.
    So, I added the properties button to the QAT, and it displayed it as an expandable menu, like this: ";" but with small arrows like this: ">". didn't want this, I wanted to click on it and immediately display the properties of the file
    to me. So, I hovered over it, right-clicked on "Properties" in this menu and added it to the QAT. Of course, this crashes File Explorer. Now whenever I try and open it, it crashes, so I have to assume that the corrupted button has been saved.
    So, my question is: How do I reset the QAT from OUTSIDE of file explorer? Regedit magic? Any ideas?
    Thanks for stopping by,
    Trolleyman.
    Edit: Just so you know, I can navigate through my systems files using the 7-zip file manager. Phew.

    Thanks from me  too, Niki. This first happened with Windows 8.0 File Manager a week ago,, and despite much research I couldn't  discover the cause so eventually I resorted to restoring  the system drive from backup (luckily I make daily backups, 
    so didn't lose   much  work).
    Without  knowing the cause  a  few days later I again tried to alter  the Quick Access  Toolbar  and the problem reappeared.  Should  I again resort to restoring the entire system drive, the thought horrified me. But
    luckily while doing a bit more research prior to resorting to the same drastic recovery, I cane  across this post  of yours and it worked!
    It doesn't  seem  to be  happening with Office 2007's   or  Wordpad's  Quick Access Toolbar,  so presumably it's a File Explorer bug  (a.k.a. Windows Explorer in Windows 7, of course). Have Microsoft recorded this as
    a  bug -- if not,  why not  -- and when  are they coming up with a fix?

  • Error: "We're having a problem opening this location on file explorer. Add this website to your trusted sites list and try again"

    Hello,
    When i try to open document library from SharePoint Production portal then it throws the specified error. However, when i open document library from SharePoint Development portal then it opens it in file explorer quite easily.
    Production portal is on https whereas development portal is on http. Also, UAG has been configured on production portal.
    Any idea where it's getting stuck up? Surely, this is not a browser issue on Windows 7 as it's opening the development portal's document library on the same machine.
    I've also done following things:
    - Configured Desktop Experience on production environment
    - Installed the hotfix for Windows 7
    Regards,
    Sohaib
    Sohaib Khan

    Hello Sohaib.
    Here is the list of causes defined here.Hope it helps you
    The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
    Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
    Resolution: Check and ensure,  that the “Managed Paths” are not changed in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
    this web application and there is a working Root site collection.
    If for any reason this is not the case in your environment, you may try the following:
    - Apply (if not already) the following Hotfix to one of those clients:
    Error when you open a SharePoint Document Library in Windows Explorer or map a network drive to the library after you install Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2846960
    Then, try to delete the cache of the IE browser before reproducing the issue. Check the result..
    - Try to temporarily disable the Antivirus and test again.
    - Check if you have installed the Desktop Experience feature on the SPS13 server.
    - Check if you face this behavior with all users, Or only with some specific ones, Or with all different client OSes.. 
    Otherwise you will need to collect the logs to further analyze...

  • File Explorer uses Bing to search. - Not live search

    Windows is creating searches for words typed into the file explorer path box.
    I accidentally typed two words into the windows file explorer address bar instead of a network address. Windows then opened a new tab in my browser and searched for those words with Bing. 
    Typing "Pictures" without quotes takes me to the users Pictures folder. Typing "Pic tures" does a Bing search for those two words. 
    Is there any option to change or remove this?
    I have turned off Bing Smart Search "Get search suggestions and web results from Bing"

  • Can't Access One of My Network Computers via Windows (File) Explorer

    I've just installed a new router (Linksys EA3500 Dual Band) to replace my old (Linksys WRT100), but can't imagine how that could cause this trouble, except that prior to installing the new router, all worked properly.  I have three Workgroup computers
    on my network, one running Win 7 Ultimate 64bit (call it Tower-755, an older laptop upstairs running Win 7 Pro 32bit (call it MommaDell), and a super laptop running Win 7 Pro 64bit (Call it M6600).  On Tower-755 I have a mirrored Raid1 drive - call
    it Z: - that I share over the net (i.e. Everyone = Read/Write).
    Since installing the new router, when I open File Explorer on M6600 or MommaDell, I can see - in the search pane (under Network) - all three computers, and when I click on MommaDell, its shared folder is accessible, but when I click on Tower-755
    I get an error saying, "Windows cannot access
    \\Tower-755, yet I can ping it successfully from a command prompt.
    However, when I open File Explorer on Tower-755, although I can see all three computers in the search pane (under Network), I can't access any of the three (including Tower-755 itself); I get the same error message, although I CAN ping them from a command
    prompt.
    Also, and I'm not sure if this related, in the search pane under HomeGroup on all three computers, I can only see MommaDell.
    I've checked and double checked all my router settings, including the IP Address range (192.168.1.2 - 51).  I also have a Domain Controller server with two joined workstations on the net, so I have a static IP in order to be able to access the server
    and/or workstations remotely when we travel.
    That's my story and I'm stuck with it, but I'd sure be grateful for any help with this mess.
    Capt. Dinosaur

    Hi Capt,
    In order to help you analyze your issue, we need confirm some situations.
    1. Did these 3 computers all join the same HomeGroup or Workgroup?
    Yes
    2. Domain Controller server with two joined workstations you mentioned, did it mean two of these 3 computer joined the domain environment?
    No.  Those are separate computers in their own domain, just using the same network.
    3. Did you ping via IP address or computer name?
    Both, but this morning something is different. 
      a.  MommaDell and M6600 can ping each other both by IP and Name, but can't ping Tower-755 either way.
      b.  Tower CAN ping both MommaDell and M6600 both ways.
    According to your description,
    Tower cannot ping MommaDell and M6600.
    No, Tower CAN ping both MommaDell AND M6600 both by ip and name.
    MommaDell can ping Tower.
    M6600 can ping Tower.
    Both of the above was true yesterday, but not this morning.
    Please check if MommaDell and M6600 could ping each other.
    Yes they can
    And make sure all of them turn on the network discovery and turn off the firewall temporarily for test:
    Network Discovery is ON in all three machines, and Windows firewall is always off because I have ZoneAlarm on all three machines.
    Enable or disable network discovery
    Which?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/enable-disable-network-discovery#1TC=windows-7
    If it doesn't resolve, please post every computer's ipconfig /all output here for analysis.
    it's 7:30 and I have to be out until 2:30.  I'll do the posting then, and thanks for the help.

  • Connection with Windows 7 PC by USB - PlayBook not Recognized on File Explorer of BlackBerry Desktop

    When I connect my PlayBook (OS 2.1) to my Windows 7 PC using USB cable, I do hear the familiar two-tone sound indicating connection, but the Windows File Explorer does not create a Drive Designation letter (such as Z:\). And BlackBerry Desktop Software (latest update), does not recognize it either. I have already tried re-booting the tablet and computer.

  • Sharepoint 2013 explorer view error - problem opening this location in file explorer (HTTPS + Win7 Enterprise 64 bit + IE9 32 bit + Office 2007 32 bit)

    Hi,
    We have a problem using Sharepoint 2013 explorer view. (Error - We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this web site to your trusted sites list and try again).
    I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit, Office 2007 32 bit and IE9 32 bit. And the sharepoint site is a https site.
    Some people in my organization are able to browse and some users getting the above error. (with the same client machine configuration)
    If I clear my browser cache, closes the browser and open it then the explorer view is working. But after a minute if I try again I'm getting the above mentioned error. This 1 minute expiration happens is since the first time I have used explorer
    view, not since I opened the browser.
    I have tried the following on my machine:
    1. Modified the web client service to run automatically.
    2. Verified the sharepoint site is part of trusted sites (https://*.spsite.com/)
    3. Compatibility mode is turned on.
    4. Tried adding
    AuthForwardServerList in the webclient registry settings under parameters. (restarted the web client)
    5. Verified the BasicAuthLevel set to 1 (since we are using SSL). Tried setting the BasicAuthLevel to 2 as well. (restarted the web client)
    6. Tried installing software update for web folders (KB907306).
    Verified the below on the production server:
    1. The web application has the root site collection.
    2. It has WebDav Publishing disabled under IIS Web Server feature.
    Could some one please help me in resolving this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hi  Deepak,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to use "Open with Explorer"  in a document library.
    For your issue, please verify the following:
    ActiveX controls must be enabled in IE.
    As you are using Windows 7 Server as the client computer, you must install the Desktop Experience feature from Server Manager.
    Make sure there is a working Root site collection.
    Install this hotfix for windows 7 work with sharepoint 2013 :hotfixv4.microsoft.com/.../463266_intl_x64_zip.exe

  • Windows 8.1 Pro File Explorer Extremely Slow

    Hello,
    I am using Windows 8.1 Professional, and since a short time, I am having troubles with the file explorer.
    It is extremely slow. When I just want to select a file, it takes about 10 seconds, if not more, and then any operation I perform on files (opening directories, renaming files, right-clicking for options, etc.) is terribly slow.
    I have looked at the indexing options and tried to minimize the areas that are indexed, but to no avail. Even with only C:/Users indexed, I have about 500,000 items indexed.
    Here are my PC specifications:
    1. 32 GB of RAM
    2. Intel core i7 3.50 GHz with 4 cores
    3. 240 GB SSD in RAID + 3 TB Western Digital Black Edition in RAID
    Do you have any ideas on how I could solve this? Also, I would like not having to clean-install my PC.
    Regards,
    Jeremie

    AMS-DIS, perhaps you're talking about a different level of problem than the person who started this thread.
    Just because you've seen it personally doesn't make it automatically a systemic Microsoft problem.  While I don't disagree that Explorer could be better programmed, there ARE those of us who don't see regular crashes, freezes, or particularly slow operation.
    Keeping in mind that external drives have to spin up, and that can be perceived as taking some time when you access the drive in Explorer, once spun up you shouldn't be seeing noticeable delay.
    If you are, please quantify what you're seeing with some specifics.
    Here's what I see:
    When I first navigate to my spun-down MyBook external USB drive I see the contents of the root folder instantly.
    When I navigate a level or two into the folder structure I see a few second delay when it gets deep enough that the data is not cached and the drive has to spin up to get it.
    Then, once spun up, when I navigate into any folder its contents show up instantly.
    When I copy a file by dragging to/from the drive or do a backup to the drive I see a substantial percentage of the theoretical maximum transfer speed (I have USB2).
    If you are not seeing performance similar to the above then you have something out of the ordinary set up on your particular system that's causing it.  You should never be seeing crashes.  I don't.
    Now, that being said, when transferring multiple files / folders, I *do* see a fair bit of slowdown in transfer rate, implying something's being throttled back by Explorer or there's way too much end to end communication, even between SSDs.
    I've wondered whether Explorer is slowing things down just so you can see them happen in its progress dialog.    Windows XP used to be faster at copying big blocks of multiple files even 13 years ago.

  • How do I add a file explorer to my website

    Hello,
    I am currently in the process of building my website. I require a file explorer facility that will enable me to browse and download documents from the web page. I like the APACHE style browsing facility e.g you can see an example of it here: http://www.malvern.plus.com/backup/
    Can anyone please tell me how I can integrate this or any other similar facility in my web page. Any advice is appreciated.
    d.

    Thanks for the reply but I don't think I was clear
    enough:
    Basically is there some way that will allow me to
    browse
    my web site like a file index? In other words, is
    there something that will show me a website like the
    pages Apache generates when there is no index.html? Is
    there any clever way of doing this without using
    javascript and ASP ...?
    Cheers
    DaveWhat you see on the apache website are infact not html files nor any other files.actually they are actual directories that are residing on the unix box
    You can do that by allowing directory browsing for your application
    BTW is your application keen on sharing files

  • Viewing DNG's in Windows 8.1 file explorer as image thumbnails ... how to do this?

    Does anyone know why you can't view .dng RAW files as image thumbnails in Windows 8.1  file explorer even with the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack installed.
    Other RAW files show up as thumbnails no problem (e.g. Nikon .NEF files). I could view dng's as thumbnails in Windows 7 but not with Windows 8.1. Perhaps Adobe hasn't shared the appropriate info. for Microsoft to make it happen?
    Cheers if you know how to see the dng thumbnails and can help me do the same.
    Michael

    I know the DNG Codec for Windows 7 allowed one to view DNG thumbs in Win 7. Wouldn't it work for Windows 8.1 too?

  • Can't access NAS through Windows 8.1 file explorer anymore

    This used to word perfectly, but since I reinstalled my Windows 8.1 setup I can't access my NAS through Windows Explorer anymore.
    The weird thing is: I can still access it by logging in into the admin console via "http://ix4-300d/manage/manage.html" in IE.
    From here I can access and edit my shares, download stuff, etc.
    But for some reason my PC can't find my NAS anymore using file explorer -> Network -> \\ix4-300d\.
    This sucks, cause now I can't copy anything to the NAS anymore (which used to work perfectly).
    I guess it must be some network setting in Windows, but I can't find it.
    Anyone knows what could be the problem?
    Both the PC and the NAS are in workgroup "WORKGROUP" btw.
    Thanks!! http://i.imgur.com/TMJtjzS.jpg

    Hello ExReey,
    First thing to do is make sure that you have the correct IP address (you can find this on the ix4 display) and try the procedure using the IP address instead of the device name>
    I would also try manually mapping the Shares:
    https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=windows%208%20map%20network%20drive
    Also, I cant open any Imgur links here, is that an error you are trying to show me?
