Many of my images have no thumbnail in my users one drive folder, even for files that are downloaded to my pc.
Full path C:\Users\myuser\OneDrive\Pictures\Camera Roll
How can I fix this? There was a time when thumbnails always worked for this folder, but I can't remember when this stopped working, it's been a couple/few weeks perhaps.
Also, why are some of the images near the end only available online. In my one drive settings this entire folder is set to sync.

I had the same issue and to fix it I went into the settings of the One Drive app and disabled (untick) the Files On Demand service then hit OK. Then after a restart of the PC all thumbnails within my One Drive folders had returned.
No I idea why this works but it did for me and hopefully will do for you also.
This solution works indeed, but unfortunately One Drive then downloads all files on my hard drive (which has not enough capacity, that's also the main reason of using One Drive in fact ...).
After spending loads of time trying to resolve this thumbnail issue for myself, none of the usual suggestions worked. I tried everything!
This is how I solved the no thumbnail issue and hopefully it will help someone else.
My OneDrive space is full. I suspect this is possibly what initially caused the thumbnail loading problems. What I didn't realize is that my Windows Desktop folder location was set as C:/Users/MyUserName/OneDrive/Desktop. My desktop was where all of my image folders were. So all of my images/folders that weren't loading thumbnails were in that OneDrive folder! I then changed the default desktop folder location to C:/Desktop. Initially I dragged and dropped my image folders from the old OneDrive folder to the new desktop location . Still no thumbnails! I then tried simply copying and pasting the entire image folder to the desktop. BOOM all thumbnails are now loaded! So I just selected all of the rest my image folders that had previously been in the OneDrive folder and copied and pasted them. They are all loading correctly now.
Short Explanation: For me this was all done on the Desktop because that's where all of my image folders were. IF your OneDrive folder containing your images is another location I suspect this will work the same. Try copying the image folder from the OneDrive folder location and pasting (not drag and drop! ) it into a different non OneDrive location and see if the thumbnails load.
Hi
I have the same problem and I've just tried something that worked for me. I moved the problematic photos to my desktop (which in file explorer showed all of the thumbnails) and then copied them back in to the Onedrive folder. The thumbnails are now showing and I have just saved a new picture in to the same folder and the thumbnail is showing.
Please try these options one by one and check after each option.
