How to recover OnDrive from local SSD's FS (Offline - system crashed-no SO)- Help me please
Good afternoon, please,
I need some help....
I have a computer on which the OS crashed, I only have access to the filesystem, but I need to access/backup data from a OneDrive folder, which obviously was not synchronized.
I have been able to access the FS and I see the structure and sizes of the files, but when I copy them, the size of each file is 0 byte.
I also tried to modify the directory and files attributes with "attrib +U -P /S", but I get the error that it does not find the dynamic link.
Is there any way or procedure to retrieve these files?
Thank you in advance.
Bests regards, Fernando

- You will need to find a trusted hard drive recovery technician in your local area. This is not something a OneDrive forum can help with.
Have you logged into OneDrive via another device or web browser to see what files are there. Zero byte local files are either a reflection of stubs to uploaded files or some other system failure out of scope of a forum.
Remember file synchronization is NOT BACKUP. You still need to backup and test the validity of backups.Thanks Mike Williams,
Sorry..., I forgot to mention, I'm one of those technicians and humbly, I have experience in these issues. But this is the first time I've encountered this situation and I couldn't resolve it...., I really can't copy those files and from what I could see, I estimate it's something about the permissions of those files....- If you are indeed such an experienced technician then it will be easy for you to restore your files from backups!
