    This video saves you having to unsync and re locate folder etc. One cmd prompt and mine was done

  • Same, I had temporarily fixed this by clearing everything and then syncing to a new target folder, but it has now started failing to sync again.

    It also appears to sync one way (add a file or folder to online it shows up in desktop but not vice versa )

    I'm actually syncing with 2 different tenants. One works fine the other continues to be a thorn in my side.

      FYI for anyone that's found this thread, it was resolved by unsyncing my OneDrive( not SharePoint) folder then deleting a folder that had a large number of files and some very large media files and exe files in it. Then resyncing a single OneDrive folder to a new destination folder.
