In this article, we'll show you what to do if your OneDrive syncing files and folders fails..

OneDrive from Microsoft is the integrated cloud storage in Windows. Usually the service syncs your files and folders across all of your devices. If there are problems with the synchronization, there can be many causes. We'll show you step-by-step what to do if OneDrive doesn't work.

How to sync files again using OneDrive

Follow our step-by-step instructions or take a look at the brief instructions .

1st step:

Right- click the OneDrive icon in the lower right corner of the toolbar. Select " Settings ". You may also need to click the upward-pointing arrow in the toolbar to see the One-Drive icon.

2nd step:

In the " Account " tab, click on the " Select folder " button .

3rd step:

Then make sure all the folders you want to sync are selected. Then click OK .

4th step:

Then switch to the " Backup " tab and click on the " Manage backup " button .

5th step:

Again, make sure that the desired folders have been selected to be synchronized. Then click " Start Backup " and synchronize. If that doesn't work, take a look at our other solutions .

Further solutions

If you've selected all of the folders and files to sync but the problem persists, here are some other things you can do:

• Simultaneously press [Windows] + [R] and enter the command % localappdata% \ Microsoft \ OneDrive \ onedrive.exe / reset in the window . This will reset all OneDrive settings. OneDrive will do a full sync after a reset and you won't lose any data as a result.
• Make sure that the files you want to back up are not being used multiple times at the same time or on different devices. This can stop the synchronization.
• Make sure that you have enough space in OneDrive so that all files can be uploaded.
• Check the settings in the " Settings " tab of OneDrive to see whether the synchronization is activated while your PC is in power-saving mode. This is deactivated by default.
• Files to be synchronized cannot be larger than 10 GB.
• Make sure that the file path to the file is no longer than 254 characters and that there are no special characters in the name of the file. If necessary, give the file a completely new name.
• Restarting your computer can also help clear up errors in temporary storage.
• Sometimes the problem isn't yours at all. If the Microsoft server is down, the synchronization of OneDrive will not work either. Just wait a day and see if the problem persists.
