Stuck on "Signing in"
I'm surprised to hear that this isn't a support forum. I'll try and post there next week.
I've:
- stop started OneDrive
- logged off on
- /reset multiple times
- rebooted
- Deleted credentials from credentials manager thingy. (OneDrive prompted for password thereafter.)
Still the same.
OK it's still stuffed. Have ran SARA a few times to no avail. I'm really disappointed in OneDrive SharePoint sync still. We have many clients on Google Drive and some on DropBox and never hear from them[1]. We hear every week about SharePoint (sync) issues.
No support here and when I called 365 support about the re-sync-everything[2] bug, he just sighed and said stop-syncing-uninstall-reinstall-and start from stratch. Not much help really.
[1] Unless someone fat fingers and mistakenly drag-and-drops a folder into another. We quickly can fix that.

Just curious, but have you gone to oneDrive in the browser and click the sync button, then from the popup there is a link that says install the latest version.
Reason I ask is that, the install from the office365 install, seems to be an older version, depending on your settings and we had problems with it, so I got people to do the above and what it seems to do, is combine, oneDrive and oneDrive for business to use the new sync client. The later versions are also much better. I think what it does is it adds a reg key (see below) that makes it use the new sync.
The reg key is this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OneDrive]
"TeamSiteSyncPreview"=dword:00000001- Alan_McFarlaneAug 11, 2017Iron Contributor
We've removed all use of the old sync client (groove). ((We've changed the setting in SharePoint so it only starts the new sync client. We've visited each person that used the old client and upgraded them. I periodically run an audit log trace to find any use of the old sync client.))
So all new client. :-(
