How can we improve the OneDrive mobile app on iOS?

← OneDrive on iOS

Multiple onedrive personal accounts

You allow multiple onedrive business accounts, but not multiple personal accounts in the iOS app. Really?? We can have multiple personal emails in the outlook app. Why would you force us to logout and log back in just because it is a personal account in the onedrive app? Please allow multiple personal accounts on the onedrive app.

    If blocking this for free accounts to avoid folks abusing the system to get more free storage, why are multiple personal accounts blocked from syncing onedrive? Users are paying for these services, let them use those services however they want.

    Adding an additional personal OneDrive account would save me hours each week - same applies for pc

    Come on MS! I can’t even get office 365 Business to work with more than one account!
    Ridiculous!!!

    I pay for Office 365, I would like to be able to access all my accounts simultaneously. I can guess that an Office 365 Business account is much more expensive, and allowing personal accounts to operate the same would defeat the difference between the accounts and more small businesses would save money by getting a personal Office 365 account. Therefore, the only option available is to purchase a business account for personal use. I just looked, that seems to be exactly the reason why. I suppose this will never happen.

    I can see why Microsoft wouldn't allow for multiple personal accounts. Having this would open up the possibility of having many accounts being used just to get an additional 5GB for free.

    I voted for this because in my case, I need to have my live account added, to my phone. Unfortunately I can't because I created a personal account off of my company's domain name, just before they switched to O365. Now I have two accounts tied to one drive that fall within Microsofts limits.

    I believe it would be simple to add a live account, and restrict the accounts in some other way.

    I use several different PC's throughout my home and at work but cannot access one drive on my personal laptop. I already have one drive for my outlook account but cannot add it to my laptop. When trying to add it your system does not recognise the email address but I have it on my home desktop PC. This is very frustrating. Please allow multiple accounts and I only have 3, one for home, one for work, and my personal laptop which I use for accessing information and documents whilst away from either home or work.

    There is no chance to sign in my kids school accounts with the same domain inside onedrive app because i can’t have both accounts signed in. I have to sign out from the first one and after that i am able to sign in with the second one. Microsoft, you are 1 TRILLION company!!! You should feel ashamed of not fixing it.

    Very difficult and frustrating to try adding a personal OneDrive account to iPad Pro in addition to the existing OneDrive business folders that are appearing. It works fine on my 3 windows 10 pcs showing both separately.

    Lot of folks have more than one Private Office 365 accounts. Should be a must have feature for the OneDrive App.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I think it is a little ridiculous to vote for this. Use some common sense Microsoft.

  • Willem commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Most people have multiple Office 365 accounts these days, so I agree this is a must have feature for the OneDrive App.

    We can do it in windows 10 and could in windows 10 mobile. Please, implement on android it too!

    I get that maybe you can't be signed into 2 personal accounts at one time, but the ability to easily toggle between them would be super handy.

    Due largely to the 1TB storage limitations, I have multiple personal accounts, as well as business accounts for a couple different employers. I can toggle between the business accounts, but I'm limited to a single personal account.

    I'd really love to see this addressed.

    pls, if you finally implement this feature, do it on win and mac versions simultaneously, thx!!

    Agreed 1000%. It makes no sense that we are limited to 1 personal OneDrive account on iOS.
