Onedrive will not pin to sidebar

Question

Onedrive will not pin to sidebar

Valerie Morroni 0

My Onedrive icon left my sidebar and I am unable to add it back. It will allow me to pin the app, but it does not show on the side bar-only the pop out

Hello,

For clarification, by "sidebar", do you mean the taskbar (the area where the apps are) or the area to the right (or bottom, depending on how your taskbar is setup) of the taskbar?

Hope to hear back from you.

Hello,

I'm going to assume by that message that you mean the taskbar. In that case, OneDrive doesn't support being opened as an actual app from the taskbar, it's only meant to be used as an app on the side (a pop up on the side).

However, if you click the up arrow (or side arrow depending on taskbar orientation), you should see the OneDrive icon in the overflow menu. Click and drag the icon back into the taskbar (you should see a line near it).

Does that fix your issue?

I hope to hear back from you.
