3 Common Solutions for OneDrive Request Files Not Showing

If OneDrive Request Files cannot be found, you can first troubleshoot some common problems in the following ways.

1. Refresh the page or change the browser

When the OneDrive File Request function cannot be found or is unavailable, you can first rule out whether it is a network problem. At this point, you can do the following:

1. Refresh the browser page, and then log in to the OneDrive account again to see if you can see the "Request files" button. Since some settings take a long time to take effect, it is very likely that the File Request function cannot be found.

2. If you still cannot see this option after refreshing the page, you can try another browser to see if you can see this function.

2. Check if anyone is enabled

No matter what kind of account you are, you need to correctly enable "Anyone" in the sharing options, otherwise it is very likely that the File Request function cannot be found. If you don't know how to set it up, you can do it as follows:

Step 1. Go to "Sharing" in the SharePoint Admin Center and log in with an account that has administrator privileges for your organization.

Step 2. Under "External sharing", specify the sharing level for SharePoint and OneDrive. The default level for both is "Anyone".

Step 3. When anyone is enabled, please go to your OneDrive for Business > select a folder > check if there is the "Request Files" feature.

3. Check the limits of OneDrive Request Files

You need to note that the OneDrive File Request feature is not available for Office 365 Government, Office 365 operated by 21Vianet, OneDrive for Family or Office 365 Germany.
