Share links
Hi, I have two shared Onedrive links on my website and it would be really great if they can open directly into your app instead of on a html webpage, and you could save the link in your app so you can easily assess it directly.
Also a online mp3 for streaming and video would be awesome, it's annoying use different online storage facilities - would be nice if you could inbed a Onedrive gidion or mp3 player on your website

re-enable the option to move OneDrive folder to a folder on an SD card (especially for low diskspace devices like HP Stream 7, 13, 14 or other Windows tablets).

Make OneDrive for Business less quirky and more intuitive
OneDrive for consumers is great. It just works and its intuitive to use. OneDrive for business is full of syncing errors and a fragmented interface (why does Microsoft Upload Center work like a separate program?). OneDrive for Business needs to JUST WORK like the consumer version. At my non-profit workplace, users are always having sync errors and other issues, and when I look online, this is common for others as well. It's too limited and confusing.
14 votesWe’ve just released our new OneDrive sync client for OneDrive for Business. It directly targets making sync easier, more intuitive, and significantly more reliable. You can read more about it at our blog post here: https://blogs.office.com/2015/12/16/onedrive-for-business-update-on-storage-plans-and-next-generation-sync-client/

Icons overlay and other visual help needed
Since windows 8.1, we lost the icons overlay. Icons can give a lot of informations very quickly:
- what is offline and online
- what is synced or not
- what is downloading or not
- all other informations neededI know this has to do with Windows limitations but hey, you're working for the same company. Icons overlay are still as ugly as in Windows XP. We need some transparency, shades, a clear loader on the files, etc.
14 votesWe brought these back with Windows 10. Thanks for the feedback.

View folders shared with in my OneDrive PC Sync Client

Add option to sort files by date taken in addition to the current sort options (i.e. date created, date modified, etc.)
13 votesDate created in OneDrive is Date taken for a photo. We just don’t have a separate Date taken sort field. Our default is that we sort by Date taken (which we call Date create)

Please allow files to be available offline for Android. At the very least make them viewable, at best make them editable. The current feature of saving a file to the device outside OneDrive is useful, but it's not the same as keeping the file within OneDrive.

Allow sign out from Windows Phone app
I had put a lot of documents onto OneDrive, THEN I realized I could not sign out from my phone thus leaving myself vulnerable as all the info in the OneDrive would be accessible to anyone should I lose or have my phone stolen.
It's just not good enough that I have to block this info via another device. Me, carry on with DropBox.10 votesThis is supported on Windows 10 Mobile.

Sharing limitation
I am using One Drive for business. Well when you are doing business you need to share files with people outside your business as well. One drive for business do not allow this! When i share a file, the other person has to sign in in order to download the file. Please make sharing to everyone available for the business version.
9 votesOneDrive for Business supports sharing files and folders via links that work for “Anyone with the link.” These links do not require the recipient to sign in.

Improve sync/upload/download speeds using the desktop client
I don't know what's the reason, but the integrated onedrive syncing in Windows 8.1 is terribly slow for me. For both uploading and downloading files, on multiples devices and on many different networks.
It feels like it's an issue with the desktop syncing, because through the web app I get way higher speeds.
9 votesYesterday we announced increased Sync client performance https://blog.onedrive.com/onedrive-now-supports-10-gb-files/
“As part of our push to continue improving the OneDrive desktop experience, we’ve increased the number of files that can be downloaded or uploaded at a given time on PCs and Macs. In internal tests, this parallel syncing netted an approximately threefold increase in syncing speed. Our performance enhancements have begun rolling out and will be available worldwide in the coming weeks.”
I’ll flag this as completed but performance updates (similar to security are never really completed, they are always being worked on. Let me know if yo uwant this reopened.

Provide options for viewing filenames that are long on a small screen
I have quite a few documents with similar names. The difference is at the end of the name.
The view given in onedrive is insufficient to differentiate between these, regardless whether the phone is in portrait or landscape mode. This makes it very difficult to identify the correct file.
Can you please provide an additional view that will show long file names?

Sync to removable storage.
Most of the tablets on the market today use an internal SD card for additional storage which disk management sees as removable storage.
It would be desirable to sync to this additional storage.
I find it particularly interesting that I am able to use the removable storage drive with my personal OneDrive? Properties – > Location – > Move9 votesThe latest update of the OneDrive sync client for Windows 10, 8 and 7 now support syncing to removable media. When setting up your OneDrive, you can choose a removable drive as your target location.

Being able to use all the smart imaging from Lumia phones on OneDrive
Nokia Imaging made a lot of smart captures Imaging features that are currently as far as I understand only accessible on the phone. The specific format remains on the phone, and only the .JPG gets on OneDrive (maybe the raws also). It would be great if those get on OneDrive and can be looked at and used in OneDrive
8 votesWe don’t have the viewers in OneDrive, but we now upload the full Nokia Living Image package, so an app like Photos can playback the living image
