OneDrive sync randomly breaking + forcing full resync? Anyone else seeing this?

I’ve got a handful of users running into a weird OneDrive issue:

  • Sync works fine for a while
  • Then randomly throws “unable to sync” errors
  • Only fix so far is re-running setup and pointing back to the same folder

The problem is—it kicks off what looks like a full re-sync (not just incremental), and it can take hours.

Right now it’s only hitting a small % of users, but it’s happening often enough that I’m worried it could start spreading.

Couple questions for anyone else dealing with this:

  • Are you seeing similar behavior lately?
  • Any better fix than blowing away and re-linking OneDrive?
  • Ways to avoid the full re-sync when reconnecting?
  • Anything obvious I should be checking (client version, known bugs, etc.)?

Feels like something deeper than user error or a one-off, but I haven’t pinned it down yet.

I have a user who needs to create a calendar of major events in our organization for others to view. I see that she can add a calendar and then share it with view-only rights. Is that the best solution?

Our SIS has just enforced two factor authentication for all faculty and staff. They require daily verification codes. How often does your system require faculty and staff to authenticate?
