    Greetings all,

    I have been struggling with this too.  And I also have nearly 300GB to upload.  We seriously need the ability to temporarily increase the timeout.  You cannot use the auto mouse clicker, you cannot hover and keep it moving, you cannot have uploads themselves keep it open.  The private vault just closes inherently at the time stamp even less than 20 min sometimes. 

    Clearly, this is an extremely important need so we can at least get our data out to the Personal Vault.  I started the process and can only get about 1GB uploaded before it auto locks.  So I clearly cannot go through this process 300 times let alone potentially corrupting data or something due to the breaks in transfers. 

    If anything, we need a registry hack that could temporarily increase this timeout.

    As Craig said, Onedrive support would know better of this. Click the ? icon and select Onedrive Email support.

    This forum is mostly managed by volunteers with no connection to Microsoft.

    Try signing into the online vault and keeping the window open. The mouse clicker might work to keep the vault open online but I'm just guessing.

    If you are nagged even when using the vault I don't think I would like that.

    I assume when signed into the online OneDrive and moving files from other OneDrive folders it would stay open but I don't really know.

    You can ask support at the "?" at the upper right when signed into the online OneDrive.

    Garinas,

    Do you need more help regarding this?

    YES

    Tell Microsoft to give uses the option of increasing the time allowed temporarily whilst I am uploading 200GB of Data!

    Doesn't the Personal Vault stay open as long as Windows thinks there is activity going on? 

    I use a program called "Free Mouse Auto Clicker" to make Windows think I am still active in a window.  I let it run all night if need be.

    Whilst the 200GB is being uploaded to the vault and the computer is being used on other tasks OneDrive issues a notification "Still using your personal vault?" every 15 minutes saying that the vault will be locked in 5 minutes if you do not say yes to continue.

    Will "Free Mouse Auto Clicker" click the continue button?

    Has anybody uploaded 200GB of Data to OneDrive and then moved that to the Vault?

    I Presume the 20 minute vault open condition still applies?
