Hi guys.. I backed up my windows drive into a macrium reflect image. One of the folders with files was a onedrive folder. I can't open it cuz when I try to, I get a message saying I must have permissions to. How can I get granted that?

If OneDrive is set to cloud‑only mode, files within Ondrice are not present on the disk, so Macrium Reflect backs up only the placeholders for those files, not the actual files.
When you mount the image and try to open the OneDrive folder, Windows reports a permissions error, but the real cause is that the files simply weren’t present in the original image.

To be able to open Onedrive files from within an image, Onedrive must be set to always on this device before the image is created..
If you need access to the files, login to Onedrive on the web and download the files.
