    This is crazy, been happening for years, why hasnt MS sorted this out yet? the hours and hours of resolving this issue, including rebuilding files that become corrupt because of it...
    Im going to try moving the file and linked files to My PC and out of the cloud folder in hope that it works without anymore issues.. defeats the point of MS cloud... not very clever of MS.
    ill just have to copy and paste the files to the cloud every now and again and hope that my PC stays stable.

    Would be better to use a folder sync to one cloud folder on the pc so the two are not linked my MS.
