leachim Posted October 5, 2025 Posted October 5, 2025 Hi Just simply want to copy some files and folders from the OneDrive folder to another folder somewhere else on my computer (Wins 11) Any advice appreciated Just says it is not allowed... Thanks
thimon Posted October 6, 2025 Posted October 6, 2025 Is the OneDrive app running? I’ve seen it where certain OneDrive options don’t work when the app has closed.

thimon Posted October 6, 2025 Posted October 6, 2025 If you search OneDrive in the Windows search bar it should appear as an app. If not, you can download and install it.
psydii Posted October 6, 2025 Posted October 6, 2025 Is it possible those files are owned by someone else, and they shared with the "no downloading" option selected? Either set up like this: Block downloads for view-only files in SharePoint and OneDrive - Microsoft Support, or maybe this: How to use the SharePoint Block Download Policy.
