OneDrive broken on macOS 10.15 Catalina?

I noticed my OneDrive sharing options were missing, and that the icons were also missing from the top of the screen. Rebooting and reinstalling haven't helped. Something trashed by TM backup the othe...

Charlie47 thanks for the support, everyone in fact, but I have spent the whole day trying to fix this before work tomorrow and nothing is working. My last chat with support took days to resolve my issue so I'll just keep looking at this feed.

Thanks again,

After trawling through some other forums (fora), I found this link:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/my-fix-for-onedrive-on-macos-catalina-1015x/de6ab37d-fa23-42b5-b5df-fbf05e09887b
I followed this advice step by step and it has worked so far. I think the key may be the editing of the plist part. 
As far as the suggestion for LULU goes, I did not know how to do this, but it may help those who know more about this than I do.
Also, I am using an app called Lingon by Peter Borg. It is similar to a task scheduler in Windows and you can manipulate scheduled updates. However, by itself it is not as efficient as changing the script in plist.

    Thank you. I found using the steps outlined in this article ...

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/my-fix-for-onedrive-on-macos-catalina-1015x/de6ab37d-fa23-42b5-b5df-fbf05e09887b

    ... and inserting the fake /etc/hosts entry ...

    0.0.0.0 oneclient.sfx.ms

    ... worked for me.

    I now have OneDrive version 23.054.0313 running on my old MacBook Pro with Catalina 10.15.7

    That was an unexpected fun side adventure with OneDrive, which had been quite stable ... until version 23.066.0326 was released.

    Hi Pearl, thanks so much. I will give it a try, but I am not a technical wizard and everything I've tried so far hasn't worked. I think it is me, and I've been led down another Microsoft rabbit hole to reach support, 5 days now and no closer to get this resolved. Just can't understand why I am being bounced around like this🙄
