OneDrive Not Syncing: Common Fixes

OneDrive sync issues are usually caused by sign-in problems, paused syncing, storage limits, unsupported file names, conflicts or a stuck client.

Check the OneDrive cloud icon

Paused syncing, sign-in errors and storage warnings usually appear there first.

Confirm the correct Microsoft account

Many people have both personal and business Microsoft accounts and accidentally sign into the wrong OneDrive.

Look for problem file names

Very long paths and some characters can prevent a file from syncing.

Check local and cloud storage

You need enough space on both the computer and the Microsoft account.

Avoid deleting the local OneDrive folder blindly

Files may exist only locally if syncing has been broken. Confirm what is in the cloud before removing anything.
