Sample of many Dead Ends "Just employ the Upload tab in Edge." Don't detect a fashion to enable an upload tab in Border settings, or searches. And at that place are similar difficulties with Firefox and Chrome.

Piece of cake peasy - Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, when I click upload and choose a folder on my PC to upload, or a binder with sub folders OneDrive asks for a file proper name?

Cheers forum, but I give upwards! Dorsum to Dropbox, so easy to use!! Too bad, I was looking forward to OneDrive!

There must be some difference between the versions of drib box every bit you exercise not show the upload side by side to the new +.
Are you lot using win 10?
Are you lot using app to access?
Is this though office 365?

Sure is frustrating just there is cypher incorrect with drop box.

Did you mean OneDrive in your first judgement? Yes I'm using Windows 10, and the OneDrive app, and I but subscribed to Office 365.

I was looking forwards to the integration that it offered with OneDrive. In my quest to make OneDrive work I read many, many OneDrive problems, many not resolved. Your help is appreciated, All-time - Bob

Aye old man brain.

Take you tried just logging into OD on the internet there may exist some differences betwixt the app and a direct login.
My company uses O365 and I login at OD in that location and it is the same equally a straight login. Hard to understand what the divergence could be.

OK one more than thing to endeavor.

Open file explorer
Click OenDrive down arrow
So click this PC
Select the binder copy it
Paste it to OD
Should prove upwards at that place with blue circular arrows to show it is uploading to OD
And so should be on OD and in you this PC

If this doesn't work I'm out of suggestions.

Been similarly frustrated. Discovered folders volition hands upload to OneDrive when using a Chrome browser to host OneDrive. If using Net Explorer (and perhaps also Microsoft Border), folders cannot exist uploaded. Go figure ... awful user interface.

You lot can likewise upload Folders to the Onedrive. Go to Chrome and Login to Onedrive.com then Click on the Upload > Folders. Browser through the fileexplorer and click on the folder y'all want to upload. OneDrive wil show the progress of the Folder Upload. I tried this for uploading my QuickBooks Cloud data in my previous company. Hope so this helps you out.

So to get the OneDrive folder consequence to piece of work, Have you tried to copy (or movement) your folder to:
%UserProfile%\OneDrive
That way you lot upload (or sync) that LOCAL folder to the cloud OneDrive...

Thanks for this - you just saved me HOURS of piece of work. Yes, switch to CHROME BROWSER to drag and drop FOLDERS from a Windows Explorer window into OneDrive for Business organization (SharePoint). Works like a amuse - ridiculous that Edge doesn't work given that OneDrive and Edge are both Microsoft Products!

Why would yous utilise a browser???

All you need to practice is to open FILE EXPLORER...
And in the left pane y'all will se ONEDRIVE..
If you click on that y'all volition come across every folder in your onedrive.. and may copy and past binder any way you want...

It actually is that simple..
