Onedrive Notifications share file

Question

I have been getting notifications through Onedrive that I can not stop or prevent. Please fix this ASAP.

Answer 1

To manage notifications in OneDrive, you can adjust the settings through the SharePoint admin center if you have admin permissions. Here’s how you can turn off the notifications:

1. Go to Settings in the new SharePoint admin center and sign in with an account that has admin permissions.
2. Select the Notifications setting for OneDrive.
3. Choose to clear Allow notifications to stop notifications for all users.

If you are not an admin, you can also turn off notifications app by app where you don't want them. However, the ability to completely stop notifications may depend on your organization's settings.

If you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your IT department or help desk for support.

Answer 2

Dear @Daniel Franks, 

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

Are you currently receiving push notifications or emails from OneDrive? Specifically, is someone repeatedly sharing files with you, causing you to receive constant notification emails? Please confirm if this matches your situation so I can assist you better. 

In the meantime, if that is the case and you want to stop receiving these emails, you can try these steps: 

1. In the Outlook app: 

Add the sender to your Blocked Senders list. This will stop future email notifications from that specific address. 

Alternatively, you can create a Rule to automatically move these emails to a specific folder, or directly to Delete, Junk, or Archive. You can set the rule to trigger when the subject or body contains specific keywords that usually appear in these file-sharing emails. 

2. In the OneDrive web interface: 

Go to Shared > Files shared with you. 

Select the suspicious file and choose 'Hide from shared' (or 'Remove from shared list'). 

You can also go to Settings (gear icon) > OneDrive Settings > Notifications to check if there are any specific alerts you wish to toggle off. 

However, since there currently isn't a direct setting to block all incoming shares, I highly recommend creating an Outlook rule to move those emails to another folder. This is the most effective way to avoid being disturbed by notifications. 

If there’s anything I may have misunderstood, I would truly appreciate it if you could provide a bit more detail to help me better understand your needs.

Looking forward to your reply!
