OneDrive’ ( has a post describing a helpful fix idea for issues like this: UserVoice: Save and Restore current OneDrive configuration. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen one, and I’m hoping this is my last. But OneDrive offers so much benefit to me, I try to be tolerant of the occasional SNAFU. I’ve tried to be positive in this post, but obviously it wasn’t a lot of fun. If I had known when it got stuck there, I would have gone though these steps with less of a concern of losing things. I’ve already suggested to the OneDrive team that there be some sort of warning if OneDrive can’t sign in for a certain period of time. I’d love it if no one ever needs this article, but as usual, if I have to suffer, I might as make it easier for the next one of you who has this issue. I still have no idea what went wrong, but this set of steps made things good again – as good as I could have hoped. I’m back in business, but it wasn’t a lot of fun. I also have to take into account that I need to sync any libraries where I think I’ve done work that may not have synched. Given that, I’m only going to re-sync the Document Libraries I’m actually working with currently. To re-sync each one, I’ll need to manually go to each site and click the sync button. If you’re like me, you probably sync a lot of Document Libraries to your local machine.
The first thing I did was take a copy of everything in my Sympraxis Consulting sync location. The changes I’d been making were piling up, and I had no idea which libraries I’d made changes in, nor did I know how long the logging in issue had been going on. I don’t use my personal OneDrive for Business (not to be confused with OneDrive for Consumers) much, but I sync a lot of Document Libraries to my laptop to make working with them easier. Each suggestion was more like, “Well, you could try…” No warm fuzzies.įinally, I realized I’d need to get this fixed. I asked my Sympraxian colleagues for suggestions and also posted in an MVP channel I’m privy to.
I also tried the reset command, which I saw in some posts was a magic elixor: %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset
I’d put my ODA (OneDrive Angst) from the old Groove.exe days behind me. Frankly, I was surprised: OneDrive has been rock solid for a good, long time. No matter how long I let things sit, OneDrive wasn’t logging in.
Every time I checked it by clicking on the little blue cloud in the System Tray, I saw this: Recently, I noticed that my OneDrive for Business wasn’t logging in.
