OneDrive Files On-Demand Didn't Start
Recently moved from an Intel iMac to a M2 Mac mini running Sonoma. Trying to use Onedrive on an external drive with the above error message keep coming up. Initially it work ok for a few days but then this error occurred. Now I cannot get it to go pass this page and only gives me an option to close.
Tried everything without success

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with OneDrive Files On-Demand on your M2 Mac mini running Sonoma. Here are a few suggestions that might help:
1.Check your file system: OneDrive requires the APFS file system. If you’re using a different file system, you might need to upgrade.
2.Check folder permissions: Make sure your OneDrive folder isn’t locked and has the appropriate permissions.
3.Restart your Mac: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue.
4.Reinstall OneDrive: If the issue persists, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the OneDrive client.
5.Enable Files On-Demand manually: You can try enabling Files On-Demand manually by typing the following command in Terminal: defaults write com.microsoft.OneDrive FilesOnDemandEnabled -bool true. After running this command, restart your Mac
