Where are files located when stored locally via OneDrive on Android phones, and how can I make them visible to other apps?

Complete rubbish

So to clarify, I am using Chrome Flex on a laptop with a 4TB SSD and I want a local copy of ALL my onedrive. Besides it won't give me those options, I have selected a few test folders and marked as "make available offline".

I want to find that data via A.N.Other app, but cannot.

I have also disabled Wifi, gone into a folder I have marked as "make available offline" that has a few images in and has the little check mark to say it has downloaded, and guess what, nada, nothing. Just a nice icon and nothing loads. As soon as I enable wifi, they appear.

I think MS need to remove that "make available offline" as clearly that is false and very very misleading

It basically says that despite repeatedly requesting the feature Microsoft has no intention of making those files available out side of one onedrive. You will have to save them to another location on your phone and just keep it synced yourself. They are aware of the issue and feel the program is working as intended.

Hello Amit,

Thank you for your reply. I have seen the response you link to and have checked the location given but that the files are not there and the system shows the cache folder to only be 168kb so this is not the location. I do not understand the rest of the response and it does not explain where I can find the path to the files.

Hi Palcouk,

Thanks for your reply, I am using Version 6.96.1 with a personal account and I presume I would have downloaded the app from the Play store.

I am fairly sure they are stored locally somewhere as I have made the folder available offline and I can access the files via the OneDrive app whilst in Airplane mode. Also when looking at the app info I can see it is using a large amount of internal storage. However, I haven't been able to locate the files, either via the android file browser or other apps that have access to storage VLC. Some how they are present yet hidden. I have not installed Word.

If you are using OneDrive from the Play Store they are located there (the 'cloud')

Have you also installed Word from the Play Store, both associated with the MS Account used for O365.
