      Do you have custom columns in the library? Right now sync doesn't work with custom column metadata and that usually causes this.

        DeletedThanks a bunch.  Was wondering why the locks appeared and now that I have removed the custom columns sync is working again.  Was really vexing issue.

      Hence the problem should be in the library settings.

      Please review very carefully the restrictions and limitations listed in this document: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3125202/restrictions-and-limitations-when-you-sync-files-and-folders
