Well, that was harder than it should be.\u00a0 And it\u2019s probably because with all the changes Microsoft has in store for Dropbox, er, I mean OneDrive for Business, they don\u2019t really want us creating alerts on documents in our OneDrive for Business (or should I say My Sites, er, Personal Sites, wait no, SkyDrive Pro \u2026 wait no, right, ya, it\u2019s OneDrive for Business now).<\/p>\n

What<\/h1>\n

Looking to be alerted when changes occur on a document in your OneDrive for Business? (In our case, we have an automated script that updates a file weekly and I want to know it succeeds).<\/p>\n

So What<\/h1>\n

In simpler times in SharePoint, you\u2019d simply click on the Ribbon and choose to add an Alert.\u00a0 But with all the changes to OneDrive for Business for \u201cease of use\u201d for the \u201ctypical user\u201d, this commonly requested feature is deeply buried.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to help uncover it for you (at least at this writing, May 16, 2016 \u2026 your mileage, in this agile age, may vary).<\/p>\n

Now What<\/h1>\n

We need to do a few things to \u201cget there\u201d to create an alert:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You need to go to \u201cclassic OneDrive\u201d mode. Oh, right. Easy \u2026 Nope, that isn\u2019t enough, there\u2019s more.<\/li>\n
  2. In the Classic Mode, there is still no Ribbon. But you can now display it. Click the Settings \u201cCog\u201d in the top bar<\/li>\n
  3. Turn the Ribbon \u201cOn\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Select your file<\/li>\n
  5. Now set your Alert options<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hope that helps someone.<\/p>\n
