One drive have re-formatted their url and I feel that is behind the problem.

But I couldnt get a straight answer from microsoft , so am slowly reloading my photos. one by one.

Maybe another onedrive user could lodge an issue with microsoft?

I have also now reported it to Onedrive - it is quite annoying. I can always see the pictures on my phone, but not always on my pc.

I have different problem with them, I cant get in onedrive. If it says its sending me a code to access it no code ever appears. If I use my password, which I know is correct, it tells me Im wrong, so Im stuck !

I’ve been getting that a little recently. Doesn’t recognise my correct password and only sometimes sends a code. I think I ended up getting a code sent by text and then it would only seem to come through when not on wifi.

It’s always been that way whilst I’ve used onedrive - the phone app doesn’t give the option to embed.
I have done it on my iPad, but this has to be done through a web browser, not the app.

The other day, I produced an aid memoir to guide me now and in the future with inserting photos into the forum. I would like to share this with you. Will this work for everybody?

Generating the URL
1:- Enter “OneDrive” into Google
. 1a select this option
2:- Sign into your Microsoft account
3:- Microsoft gave me an extra question
4:- Locate the file where the photos are
. 4a select the required photograph
5:- Embed—found in the ribbon, or right click on the photo
6:- Generate the URL
7:- A large icon of the image appears
. 7a Select the image size—(usually medium size will be sufficient)
. 7b Do not tick the “include HTML” tags
. 7c copy the URL address


On the Forum
A:- Write your text, when appropriate click the insert image button
B:- Insert the copied URL between the square brackets Image (I usually press the space bar to widen the gap between the square brackets)
C:- This is the interim process
D:- Click Preview
E:- With luck, your photo should appear

Good work Marcus.
I'm sure that should help newcomers or those struggling to add images.

If I click on the photo icon it doesn't let me embed but if I navigate to the picture using the file icon it does.

This doesn't work

This does
