The status field is absent from the OneDrive folder in File Explorer.
The status field is absent from the OneDrive folder in File Explorer.
It seems OneDrive recently changed its layout, introducing a "Status" column and related features. While I appreciated these updates, I haven’t been able to restore them after reinstalling on other devices. I’m wondering if there’s a way to fix this or if it’s just an internal Microsoft issue. I tried manually adding the column but couldn’t find any matching entries, and I don’t remember having to do that initially. Please let me know if you can help.
They just included this recently, which is unusual since it would be surprising if they removed it again. I’m glad it functioned well and was a positive addition. Are you wondering if they’re referencing the earlier hackjob attempts from before Windows 10 was released?
Those green indicators are known as icon overlays. The issue arises because Windows programs are vying for just 11 of those spots. There are 15 total spots, but Windows must reserve at least 4 for the operating system. The concern is whether any applications are fighting over the same service.
I believe you're focusing on the incorrect area. This isn't related to the sync status overlays (which aren't displayed here) but rather the updated "status" column indicating whether the file is saved locally or just in the cloud. My overlays are functioning correctly as well.
Thanks! It was a bit complicated, but I managed. For reference, I had to manually turn back one of the three status columns, but now it’s working properly.
It's really poor how FileExplorer appears—it feels outdated. I prefer iCloud Drive Finder because of several advantages, including its look and functionality.
