Nerdulater Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I'm suprised. First time Microsoft hasn't shut down a service on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentin Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Bad news: The private OneDrive on Windows 8.1 today stop syncronizing my files. It appears a message that I have to update Windows but there are no new updates. Is OneDrive not functioning anymore with Windows 8.1 for private users?? As others already said, OneDrive for Business on Windows 8.1 still works.. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any method in how to update OneDrive (personal) in Windows 8.1? When I try to install OneDrive Desktop, only the Business version gets installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentin Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 On my brothers Microsoft-Account the In-Build OneDrive App in Windows 8.1 still works on all his devices, as he told me. So I think it really depends on the Microsoft Account. Maybe they will deactivate the Accounts "one by one"? Does anyone know any alternative options for those whose In-Build OneDrive App isn't working anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentin Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Thank you so much!!! This is working! Great, that's the method there. But it is very characteristic of Microsoft, that technically everything works, but you first have to be smart enough to figure out how to make the function usable becouse they dont want you to use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
