Why would you email from OneDrive?
That's the default for Office 365. They work very hard to make you do that. And it makes sense, if it worked. That way you are using OD for storage, instead of Exchange. But when OD doesn't work, the system screws you.

On a call. Realizing how much I detest OneDrive. Totally useless.
I've had good luck with it so far. What are your pain points?
No way to download or open files. It forces the opening of the file to Word Online, which doesn't work, and doesn't let me download to open it with an application that actually works.
I think you need to do a screen recording of this stuff someday. These sound like the weirdest issues.
What's interesting is that there are three places to download Onedrive documents.
None of those exist when something is emailed from OneDrive. remember I don't have a OneDrive account because Microsoft themselves hosed it.
I'll have to test it. Normally there is a little arrow next to the document that lets you download something.
This is what I was actually referring to in my last post.
Right, that's all that I get in Outlook. If I go to OneDrive, it would not show this document at all. This is OWA.

You are in SharePoint it seems.
I use OneDrive for Business and I also have a personal OneDrive account. Both offer download links all over the place in all browsers on all operating systems.
Go in the menu and click on "OneDrive".
That's not how OneDrive works. I'm in Outlook. If I go to OneDrive, it's not going to show me this file as it comes from someone else's OneDrive.
Oh I missed that fact.

Gotcha, yes, the issue is someone ELSE using OneDrive and hosing me as it blocks any attempts for me to get access to the file. It opens in Word, but Word can't handle the file format and chokes on it showing only part of the document.

Unless it is from OneDrive, then it disables it.
That's a bizarre design decision. I'm one of the only people here who heavily uses Onedrive so I wouldn't see that behavior.
Yeah, it is. It's because they want to force you into Word Online, I think. So to encourage it, they try to make anything else as difficult as possible.

Moving DICOM images!

@dashrender Yeah, thankfully is from MRI to MRI systems instead of uploading from discs...

AND... I'm suspended from SW. LOL Don't point out that a sponsor is lying, or they lock you out.

@scottalanmiller Are you in detention?

I could have told you that... They get super pissy when you take a shot at their cash cows, no matter how badly the cow was behaving.

Enjoy your vacation from SW. Now you'll get to see how free it is without them.

Yup, I was already reaching out to Jay, too. This is a HUGE ethics breach. Kind of like the Liquid Nitrogen Overclocking situation many years ago - where we KNOW that a vendor was paying to have specific people silenced.

I'm surprised that they would do this so close to SpiceWorld, this will be such a major discussion point to have, still fresh that they had a sponsor do something so unethical and how the mods responded to it.

That's the one. This smacks of the Liquid Nitrogen Overclocking situation. They had a vendor that paid them to have accounts silenced and anything said that made them look like crooks was deleted. They would have gotten away with it too and covered it all up until I produced arrest warrants for LNO's people and SW had to do something before the FBI was called.

I wonder how much I will be posting here if I'm not splitting my time between the two places!

Oh I know, I've had some heavy pressure put on my to not point out bad things being done by vendors before.

Two hours until we leave for the airport. Trying to get all of the packing done.
