Known Folder Move, error code 0x80070005
I have the same problem. (Same OneDrive build. Windows 10 1803 build 17134.228) So far I've tracked it down to the user having a folder redirection policy applied through Group Policy.
To simplify it I'm starting only with the Desktop folder. My user account had a folder redirection GPO enabled, with the settings "Basic: Redirect everyone's folder to the same location" and the target folder set to "Redirect to the local userprofile location" - With that set, I get the 0x80070005 error trying to Start Protection with KFM.
If I set that GPO to "Not configured", then I can enable protection okay.
My problem is I can't set that just to Not Configured, since those users have previously had an old policy that redirected Desktop to H:\Desktop. So if I just don't configure it at all, the folder will stay on H and KFM complains that it's on a different volume so can't move it.
All I can think of is to enable a temporary GPO for a few days to change the redirection back to C:\, then remove that one and set it back to Not Configured. Obviously not the ideal solution.

Hello,
does anybody have some news about this issue?
I have the same one. Desktop is synced, but other folders are failing on 0x80070005 Unknown error. My folder redirection registry are set to default.
Hi,
I dont have any solution yet. Same situation here. Folder redirection wasnt ever enabled on my machine. The registry show the Microsoft default.
Same issue as you here. Our students have documents , photos and desktop folders redirected as well as others. I have change GPO to not redirect these folders but still get the same error as being reported here. Being a school all our students roam, so we want OneDrive redirection of Documents to be set up automatically every time they log in to a PC for the first time.
