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.
