I struggled with the App Store version when it finally updated, and burnt a few days trying to get it going. Upgrading from my existing external drive/all files downloaded just was never going to successfully finish, so I started over a number of times using the reset Onedrive command- still no luck.
- It would always start out with the old sync style (syncing to a folder) before then switching toe the CloudStorage sync, leaving an orphaned version of the the initial attempt on my data drive.
- I think I got the initial sync (files on demand only) to complete once or twice, but would usually choke. If I tried to use "Always Keep on Disk" for any substantial number of files it would choke.
After seeing there was an issue with the Mac App Store version, I've switched back to the standalone version.
- The initial sync seems to work well.
- It seems to start out using the CloudStorage sync, so no mess left over.
- I was able to successfully use Always Keep on Disk with most of the folders- excluding my large archive folder.
- After the above was complete, I tried to use Always Keep on Disk with the large archive folder- it seems to work overnight, but then this morning it failed. Error message "OneDrive can't transfer files right now. Click here to view sync problems". Clicking does nothing.
My OneDrive is about 588GB. The external SSD has around 1.19 TB available.
I'm about ready to give up. I've spent many days trying to get back up and running. I've got GB internet up and down so that's not too bad, but it just has to work at some point, right?
Migration for my setup is just a total failure. I think with a clean start I'm close, but right now it's not syncing and I have no idea how to proceed without starting over... again. (Note- I managed Macs for a large district for 30+ years and had been leading Microsoft 365 charge-- I can only imagine how frustrating this must be for users with less troubleshooting experience.)
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
