I am unable to locate my OneDrive Personal CID. When I login from web browsers (i.e. Edge, Chrome), it does not show a cid as instructions from various resources state. It only shows "?view=1"

    Hi Jason,

    You can find your OneDrive CID in several ways. First, try sharing a file with yourself and opening the shared link in a browser the CID is often included in the URL. Another option is to visit Microsoft’s account summary page, view the page source (Ctrl+U), and search for CID= in the code. Lastly, you can open OneDrive in a browser, press F12 to launch Developer Tools, go to the Network tab, refresh the page, and look for any requests that contain CID=in the URL.

    Hi Jason,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand you've already tried using different browsers, but your OneDrive Personal CID still doesn't appear.

    To provide more accurate support please share the screenshot of what you see in Edge and Chrome.

    In the meantime, you may try below steps.1. Open your browser then clear cache history

    1. Go to Onedrive.live.com then sign in to your personal account.
    2. Once you signed in try to look the URL in your browser address bar it looks like this " https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=1234567890ABCDEF "

    Please let us know if these steps help resolve the issue, or if you need further assistance. We're here to help!
