### 3/5 — Still crashes when downloading for offline

*2026-08-19, version 18.8.2*

Crashes every 10-20 minutes when downloading large numbers of files for offline. (Think: 50,000 files comprising 300 GB. I have a 1 TB iPhone and ought to be able to use that storage for my own stuff if I so choose.) This has been an ongoing problem for years. Microsoft has plenty of telemetry to know about the problem and fix it, so obviously it’s not getting prioritized. Also, with the latest version, there doesn’t appear to be a way to hide the “Edit with AI” prompt when opening photos. It covers part of the image.

### 1/5 — AI edit is Horrible

*2026-08-19, version 18.8.2*

Microsolp sucks. AI edit is absolutely Horrible. Microslop AI is the worst editing software ever created by horrible engineers at Microslop.

### 1/5 — Would be great if it updated folders from my SharePoint site!!!

*2026-08-19, version 18.8.2*

Microslop back at it again making life a pain. I just want my folders to sync.

### 2/5 — Useless

*2026-08-17, version 18.7.3*

The app doesn’t even show you all your documents and files. It takes ages for a new folder you made online to appear in the app. Like, weeks long. All the Microsoft advice says is “Clear your cache, make sure the app is updated, delete and redownload the app.” Except I’d be deleting and redownloading this app daily. I have a folder from April not showing on OneDrive in August. How much more time do you need to give it to load? I’m not just deleting and redownloading the app every day.

### 1/5 — Abuses notifications to send ads

*2026-08-16, version 18.7.3*

OneDrive sucks and sends ads via notifications but if you turn off notifications it won’t let you know when it decides to randomly stop syncing.

### 1/5 — What’s going on?!

*2026-08-16, version 18.7.3*

I can’t open any of my files from my mobile phone. Excel, PDF, etc. I got left in a real bind when I needed my passport today. Error:100 
Get it together!

### 4/5 — 好用

*2026-08-15, version 18.7.3*

好用，我会推荐同学使用

### 1/5 — Horrible ui

*2026-08-15, version 18.7.3*

Apparently, if you select too many photos you want to delete. It removes the option to delete it causing users to have to manually delete them one at a time. Rediculous

### 2/5 — What is going on?

*2026-08-15, version 18.7.3*

If you want a heart attack, download this app. My most important folder was not displayed or even found using ‘Search’ on iPhone.

Fortunately , Onedrive app on iPad confirmed that it still existed. Bring the two teams together and put the programmers who know what they are doing in charge. (Paid Office 365 subscriber)

### 1/5 — Syncing is awful

*2026-08-13, version 18.7.3*

On all apple devices OneDrive seems to just give up on syncing all new files after a certain point.. refreshing, closing the app, re-signing in never works. The only thing that will ever get it to sync and update with files that were added to folders from other devices is to delete and reinstall the app. Also, waiting a couple days doesn’t help either, it will not sync for weeks on-end if you don’t delete and reinstall. I’ve tried background app refresh on and off, all sorts of settings within apple devices, never works. Very very tired of deleting this app over and over again just because my files won’t sync.
