Though the current server paging capability can support an incremental loading capability, this doesn't support at all the case of user quickly scrolling through their photos or data in a virtual list, because scrolling can be done so quickly that any incremental loading queue can get saturated.

Random access data virtualization is what is required to support the quick scrolling scenario. Unfortunately, it looks as if the SDK and the OneDrive API don't support the OData query options (namely $skip) which would enable that.

Hopefully $skip is in the near range plan, so that we'll be able to create awesome third party apps that use the OneDrive API.
The concepts I'm describing can be found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/mt574120.aspx

To illustrate, let's say that a list or grid is used to show picture thumbnails. We start with a query to get the camera roll by date descending, but we only get just a few of the thousands of pictures' metadata with the first call. In fact, to remain responsive, we may want the call to get even fewer than 100 items.
https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/drives('me')/items('cameraroll_id')/children?$top=100&$orderby=lastModifiedDateTime%20desc

Now the user scrolls very quickly to item 200, but we're still loading the previous items into the control. This might be reported to the app by the IItemsRangeInfo interface for a list and overriding the RangesChanged method..

What we need is this:
https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/drives('me')/items('cameraroll_id')/children?$top=100&$orderby=lastModifiedDateTime%20desc&$skip=200

It would be nice to be able to upload multiple files to OneDrive and then, once they're uploaded, join them together into one file.

On Windows, this can be achieved through the following command:

copy /b 1.txt + 2.txt + 3.txt all.txt

It would be great for this functionality to be available on OneDrive too. Amongst other uses, this could be useful for working around issues with uploading large files.

As there isn't a method for extending the expiry date of an upload session, the user is given a deadline by which they must complete the uploading of their file.

The following are some examples of circumstances which would hinder the uploading of a large file:

• Slow upload speed
• Internet service provider usage limits for particular timeframes
• Intermittent computer usage (and therefore intermittent uploading)

A contrived example of such a user is one who only has home computer access on Saturday evenings. This user could be unable to complete the upload of their file before the expiry date of the upload session.

This issue could be mitigated if this proposed file appending functionality is implemented – the above example user could commit their upload session at the end of Saturday and create a new upload session on subsequent Saturdays until all file parts are uploaded, at which point they could be joined to form a single file.

I have an Onedrive business account and a basic one. I discover that the shared folders from business account to basic account cannot be shown on current ios apps. They can only be viewed on browser.

Can MS development team allow the shared folders from business to be view on current mobile apps? It definitely helps us to share the information to clients who don't have the business account but can view the folders on apps with basic account.

Many related topics have been posted in past several years. I wish MS can take a look to the issue. Thanks in advance.

As a matter of concern, the notification emails are all written in the language which has set at the time of tenant creation when receiving the sharing notifications of the "Access Request" or in the case of the capacity of OneDrive for Business reaches to the limitation.

Please improve the flexibility of the settings that the users can specify the preferred language of the received email freely even after initial setting.

Thank you for your continued support.​​​

I am working on an app that lets a OneDrive user share a folder with others such that they may read and edit files already present and upload new files to this folder.

So long as the other users are required to log in to their Microsoft accounts, this works fine, and non-logged in users can also read from the shared folder (although I have only figured out how to do that using the api.onedrive.com endpoint - not via graph.microsoft.com). Also, if I read the documentation correctly, only Office Online can let not logged in users edit shared documents.

My request is that the REST API would allow users of my app to push and post to OneDrive folders that have been shared with them without requiring them to log in to a Microsoft account.

If an approach alternative to complete anonymity exists - for instance letting the app log in via an app secret to support the non-logged in users, that would be preferable.
