Microsoft One Drive Keeps Getting Worse

Post by jpgr0420 »

I don't want to get into a whole diatribe here, but I can't download any of the MCCD folders that Phil Lip was so kind to put up. The only download option available is for single files. I can't do folders. Is it just me ?

Years ago, I thought Microsoft One was going to be a viable option for sharing. It failed with me miserably, otherwise I would have gladly paid a monthly fee for it. It's embedded on my PC now as a virtual hard drive, but I refuse to pay for more space because it's just so bad.

Anyway, the link is below. I'd be curious if anyone can download folders anymore. Thanks.

Microsoft in general is getting worse. One Drive is useless. I can’t download anything directly from it even when I’m signed into my accounts. Jdownloader is the only way I can get stuff from One Drive.

I should say I can download from it in the browser (chrome) (when onedrive it is available, it is frequent when it is not due to download limits I think). I mark one folder, then press 'download' above and it downloads with quite good speed (2-4 Mb/sec). If I mark several folders at once - then it is less reliable, some of them may fail (or download not fully).
Searching hard for missing Silent Hills, Non Plus Ultra, WWII, Xavel, Shakuntala sets, fresh Misterclaudel/Valkyrie/Piccadilly.
Also searching hard for FAB CD / DVD releases (solo ones are priority). Ready to trade FAB DVDs with those who trades.

I only get a download option at the file level. There is no download at the folder level. And I'm signed into my account.
I haven't been using jdownloader though. New computer. Haven't put it on yet. Last time I had it, it was blocking all of FileFactory complaining about malicious files on there, so I stopped using it.

And I'm on Chrome. No download option unless at file level only.

If I use Chrome, I DO NOT get a download option at the folder level.

If I use Firefox I DO HAVE the download and Copy option at the folder level.

seems to be something with Chrome displaying the download option.

Now Firefox has the download options at the top of the page on the folders. How about that. I guess don't use Chrome ? Your mileage may vary. Who the f*ck knows ?

I'm not even signed in to Onedrive on Firefox, but I get the Download options. I'm signed in on Chrome and no options. I try the APP, and no options.

Thanks Mrbeatleg. I just noticed your message. I didn't see it earlier when I figured out the same thing. Try a different browser. I appreciate you taking the time and having the right answer.
