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.

    This is a very good idea. Google applications do this, and it is very convenienient. Having to logout to switch accounts is a pain.

    Please allow to sign in to multiple personal OneDrive accounts from the mobile app! we are paying for these accounts and it does not make sense not to allow us to sign in to these personal accounts while you allow this for business accounts!!

    Nowadays, when all the big cloud drive players enable multiple personal uccounts to simply switch between in, OneDrive by Microsoft Is way behind . ONLY one personal and one work account allowed. Perhaps they don't know how, poor developers.

    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.
