OneDrive - Review Activity Logs | Point in Time Restore

Question

Is there a way to review the activity logs of a user account in OneDrive? specifically, the history of changes within files, folders/subfolders?

Also, can we do a restoration on files in which, syncing got interrupted for some reason resulting in data loss/mismatch?

Thanks!

Dear Charles Padila.

Good day!!

Apologies for the inconvenience caused and please don’t worry, let’s work together on your concern and move towards a resolution path.

I understand your concern and to my knowledge, I would like to suggest you refer to Audit Log activities in the Compliance Admin center and to get the File and Folder activities on the user OneDrive for Business: Audit log activities | Microsoft Learn

Moreover, you can check for OneDrive for Business Usage and Activity report from the Microsoft 365 admin center, here are the references:

Microsoft 365 admin center activity reports - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

Microsoft 365 OneDrive usage reports - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

Microsoft 365 OneDrive activity reports - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

At last, you can restore the previous version of the file in the OneDrive for Business using the Version History feature and here is the reference: Restore a previous version of a file stored in OneDrive - Microsoft Support

Note: If you want to restore the complete OneDrive for Business of the user within the past 30 days, you can check the following article: Restore your OneDrive - Microsoft Support

If the activity logs or reports mentioned in the above articles didn’t help, we are sorry and request you to connect with the Microsoft OneDrive development team via creating a new service request from the Microsoft 365 admin center to check further on your requirement. Reference: Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

Note: To create a support ticket, you need to have admin privileges and if you aren’t admin of your Office 365 organization, please contact the admin of creating a new ticket. How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support

Appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great day!!
