I have a quick question about OneDrive after a recent update on my MacBook. My workplace transferred all my personal information to OneDrive, but when I checked later, I noticed that some files are missing from the folders – only the folders themselves were there. I did inform our IT department about my limited OneDrive space, but they assured me it would be fine. Now that my Mac was wiped for the update, does this mean I've lost most of my stuff? Any advice would be appreciated!

You might not have given enough time for everything to sync properly. Just a tip: try to avoid keeping personal files on your work computer next time.
Make sure to log into your OneDrive account online. If your files are missing there, then it's possible they didn't get uploaded properly. If they are there, you can simply download them from each folder.
I checked online, and unfortunately, none of my files are there. I don’t understand why only the folders copied!
Unfortunately, if you didn’t back up the files elsewhere, it’s likely they’re gone. You might want to check OneDrive online just to be sure. If they’re not there, it’s a sad situation.
This has happened to me too! I can't believe they didn’t double-check before wiping the machine.

These were all work-related documents, just so you know! I thought they’d be safe.
