Coliver needs to add Word locally installed opening OneDrive directly as well.
That's true you could do that. I'm not sure @scottalanmiller is on a Windows device though which may be some of the trepidation here.
I generally only use Onedrive from the browser as I really dislike local sync programs.

Well, if the point is to become LANless, then sync clients are a no go.

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.
Huh. I just use Word Online so I guess I don't have that use case.
It doesn't display properly. It doesn't handle all file formats flawlessly.

@dashrender said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
what do you mean you can't download from OneDrive?
It only gives you a broken HTML to download, no download mechanism.

I think you need to do a screen recording of this stuff someday. These sound like the weirdest issues.
Email an attachment from OneDrive to Exchange. There is no download, none. Only an "open" button, and that only goes to Word Online.

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.

If I could download, I'd be all set. It just doesn't offer any download options.

I'll have to test it. Normally there is a little arrow next to the document that lets you download something.

You aren't in OWA, you are in OneDrive. This is a file FROM OneDrive.

Unless it is from OneDrive, then it disables it.

And if you open in Word Online, no options to save from there, either.

Completely forgot about that, bother.

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.

Why would you email from OneDrive?
Scott - I know MS hosed your O365 account - I'm going to pull a @JaredBusch here and say - get over yourself and have Minion Queen or whomever make you a new account with a new name. It's just not worth the hassles in life you have because you are unwilling to get a new account.

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.

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.

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.
