Fix OneDrive Syncing Issues

Several ways to fix common sync errors that you will experience while using OneDrive.

1. Make sure OneDrive is open
2. Make sure you are logged into OneDrive
3. Pause and un-pause syncing
4. Un-sync and re-sync SharePoint document libraries
5. Log out and log back in
7. Uninstall and re-install OneDrive.

You are the only one that started at the very beginning - explaining how to make sure OneDrive is running and logged in . . . everyone else I found started downstream from that point, which was not helpful as I immediately realized the reason I couldn't see anything they were explaining was the app wasn't running and I wasn't logged in! Thank you!!!

Since last week I have the problem that the OneDrive icon in the taskbar always show the blue cloud even when it is still syncing. I never now whether my files are all synced or not by just looking at the icon. Do you have any idea what I could try to fix this error?

This doesn't address the red circle X on a couple folders. Why is that showing up? Also, its syncing but I have a file that has that circle arrow active logo on the file vs others with cloud logo, and I cannot share this active arrow file. I dont see it online. Looking at the app in the tray icon, I see a bunch of files, but it says "Available in 1 second", with a bunch of variations to 11 minutes ago. What does "ago" even mean in this context? It says the file name, and below it; "Available in X(x=some folder name) 1 minute ago", etc

Thank the lord. I had this problem but my school said I was making it up since nobody else in the entire school had this problem. I couldn’t figure it out and was threatened by admins because I was “lying”. Teachers gaslighted me and parents screamed at me because I literally couldn’t submit something if I couldn’t get the file. Thank you so much almost kms

I have a question: Do you lose any files when trying to fix the OneDrive syncing problem?

[joanamariepatosa]

This is helpful, you give a lot of options to ensure it will work in different ways.

Hello there! So I had a problem with an corrupt folder and finally after couple of days I managed to delete the corrupt folder but the syncing of the newest files somehow is still in process. I want to see in real time what s on the desktop folder for university but on phone it doesn t sync the newest files for last 3 weeks.
Any ideas of how to update the one drive folder on phone and make the sync work?
