Re: OneDrive for Business sync SharePoint libraries on Mac That's where I found the download and those are the instructions I'm following but OneDrive crashes during the initial setup process after I nominate my OneDrive folder for syncing.

If you have a Microsoft ID, and there can be few people that don’t (Outlook.com, Xbox Live etc.), you have access to online storage. You get 15GB free from Microsoft in which to store your files.

It is even baked into Windows 8.1 and you can access OneDrive from Explorer. Files placed in the OneDrive folder on the disk drive should be synced to OneDrive online and vice versa, but occasionally something goes wrong and one or more files won’t sync. What can you do? View sync problems A file that appears online in OneDrive, but not on the PC’s disk drive in Explorer, or a file in Explorer that can’t be seen online, but is on the disk drive is obviously faulty. In Explorer, files that won’t sync have a double arrow icon to indicate a problem.

Have you seen any icons with double arrows? You have sync problems if you have.

Right click the OneDrive folder in Explorer and if View sync problems is available on the menu, you have a sync problem. Selecting the menu can provide clues about the fault.

Right click them and select Rename. Delete the whole of the name and replace it with something simpler, like ‘test’. Sometimes special characters are in the name and that are supported online but not offline, or offline but not online. Right click the SkyDrive folder and select Sync. If it now syncs you will know it was the name. Search service An odd thing about OneDrive is that it will not work properly if the Windows Search service is disabled.

Press Windows+R and enter services.msc. See if Widows Search is running. If it isn’t, double click it and set the Startup type to Automatic. Start the service using the Start button.

Check the engine The OneDrive Sync Engine must be running in order for it to sync, which sounds obvious, but you do need to check. Right click the taskbar on the desktop and select Task Manager. On the Processes tab, look down the list of items for OneDrive Sync Engine. I’m not sure what can be done if it isn’t. It should start automatically with Windows, so restart the computer if it isn’t in Task Manager.

Press Windows+R and enter skydrive.exe to start OneDrive if it isn’t running. Reset OneDrive If there are still problems syncing files with OneDrive, try resetting it. Press Windows+R and enter skydrive.exe /reset. This will not delete any files, but it causes OneDrive to check them all and sync online and offline storage.

Use the troubleshooter There is a at the Microsoft website. Download it and double click the file in the Downloads folder it if nothing has worked so far. Just click the Next button and follow the prompts to apply any repairs that are necessary.

Hopefully, OneDrive should now be working and syncing properly. Syncing is just one issue you might have with OneDrive and if you have ever overwritten a file with a new version and wished you could go back to the original, here is how to. The sharing facilities are useful, but? It could be a problem.

If your backup software has problems backing up the OneDrive folder on the disk,. A word of warning.

OneDrive for Business is the most faulty application I have ever seen. I have installed it on 14 PC’s and 1 terminalserver, and have had every error in the book.

Cannot synchronize this offline library. No hint what so ever. Cannot sync open files, and a long list of files. But there are no open files, and they have never been opened during the session.

You can not use the repair function, because, of, yes, open files. Syncing all the time, never finishes. Some files are just not synced at all. Cache is corrupt. Asks for username and password, but does not accept either To summarize solutions are 1. Do a repair using the repair function 2. Clear the cache 3.

Antivirus issue 5 Firewall issue 6. Uninstall and install OneDrive (Which is not applicable on a terminalserver. Normally the private version of OneDrive works, but dont let you fool. OneDrive for business is a another story, I have not able to identify just one single fault. I am very embarrassed since I recommended the solution. 2-3 times a week I get a call from one of the 14 clients saying it does not work AGAIN!

So, all admins, dont buy this crappy software, you will defenately regret it. Microsoft off course knows about these errors, but keeps the software on the market.
