This is an all too common problem with OneDrive. You can resync with no loss of data, I've found. It will tell you when you try to resync that it already exists in your system do you want to use it? Say yes, and it will then show that it's resyncing. I'm seeing this happen more and more lately, and I have asked MSFT support about it with no answers. My best guess is that it has to do with OneDrive not starting up again after coming out of sleep mode. Next time that it happens to you, check first that OneDrive is really running. Go to Search or Windows start menu, and find OneDrive and simply open it. Sometimes it fixes it. I'm not recommending OneDrive sync anymore. Telling people they would be better off with Dropbox. I've never seen this problem with DB.
