A request for help: SharePoint causing tons of sync problems?
Seeing your NGSC version, I guess that you are also on Windows Insider.
Of course, I cannot say if the issues you are experiencing are actually due to installing Insider builds, but, in general, Insider (aka beta) versions of both Windows and Office should be avoided on production machines.
Also, instead of reusing existing Office documents, you should use Office templates. See for example http://www.techadvisory.org/2014/01/using-office-templates/
Finally, you could disable Autosave completely or only for single files. See https://support.office.com/en-us/article/what-is-autosave-6d6bd723-ebfd-4e40-b5f6-ae6e8088f7a5
Hope it helps...
Thanks Shanuj, glad to hear that it isn't just me.
Gotta love these "productivity" tools. ;-) Not to pile on, but I am having many of the same issues you are as well. Additionally, I get a "spinning" icon (indicating syncing) that does not seem to resolve for a very long time (hours). I found that if I make changes to the file that's open in Office in my synced folder, then save, sometimes this resolves. If it is not resolved, I often get "couldn't update" messages. Sometimes, when I open an office document, I get the "server copy is newer than local copy" message when I just created or updated the document. Very confusing, very annoying. I have to just live with these problems because I just don't seem to have the time it takes to dive into researching an actual solution. It takes too long.
