OneDrive is down for some, don’t freak out

Microsoft’s OneDrive is currently experiencing some server-related issues. OneDrive appears to be down for many people on Sunday afternoon (UTC). Users are getting an error message when they try to open the site.

Microsoft has acknowledged the bug affecting OneDrive users and the company is actively investigating the reported issues. Microsoft has also confirmed that the next status update will be released at 7:00 PM UTC.

“Users may be unable to access the OneDrive web application located at OneDrive. Affected users may encounter an error which states, “Sorry, an error has occurred”.

  • Unbelievable, simply unbelievable! Shame on MS managers, who do not seem to have the faintest idea about redundancy

    • Someone probably put some crap up to the production server and committed. I would love to know the name of this fool that certainly will be fired.

      • I'm afraid he won't be. Decisions about reundancy are supervised by middle and top managers, and since MS is full of managers just able to have .... "connections", they won't be fired. Such issues are the result of the MS yes-men recruitment policy
