Searching for files with a specific sha1 hash in onedrive

MarcRosenbaum · 19. Januar 2021

Hi everyone,

I am trying to search for files with a specific sha1hash to find dublicates before uploading a file. The documentation tells me that the searchquery will compare to metadata too. But with my first tries i doesnt got a correct answer.

Is it possible to search for the metadata like sha1hash?

This would be a great function.

Greetings an thanks in advance

Dear Gunasekar, thank you for your answer!

Unfortunately I can't find the files by searching them or in Word.
1. I don't have an 365 Abo, do you know if I can use the "Reset my whole OneDrive"-function also if I only buy the Abo now? Does it work retroperspectively? If yes, I think this could solve my problem.
2. Do you know what happens with OneDrive files when one overwrites them with "Copy+replace"? This is how I lost my file and still it's not in the bin.
Thank you very much!!

Dear Geotrix,
I am Renzo, as an Independent Advisor and Office user, I'll help you with your question.

You can use Microsoft Graph to create an app that connects with files across OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, and SharePoint document libraries. With Microsoft Graph, you can build a variety of experiences with files stored in Microsoft 365, from simply storing user documents to complex file-sharing scenarios.

Take a look at below link for further information:

Hi AnnaThomas,
Thanks for your reply. After opening the "Finder" and opening "Home" from the "Go" menu, there is no "Library". Am I searching in the wrong place? I also tried searching for the file "com.microsoft.Word.plist" via "Go to Folder", but it could not be found.
Cheers!

Hi StankoBeronja,

When OneDrive can't sync a file or folder because its name contains invalid characters, OneDrive can sometimes rename it for you.

If OneDrive is able to rename the file or folder, you'll see a Rename option in the notification area. If OneDrive can't rename the file or folder automatically, you'll need to rename it yourself manually.

For more, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/oned...

I'd suggest going through the following article to know some invalid character that OneDrive doesn't support and the right process to rename file and sync:
