Windows 10: Error 0x8007016A: the cloud file provider is not running

My One Drive Folder was on Drive 'D' of my PC

However, I recently installed a 2TB Hard Disk Drive, as Drive C, and installed OneDrive on this (new) Drive C.

Now I find that I cannot 'Cut', 'Copy' or 'Delete' any of the folders or Files from my former One Drive Folder.

I have attached a screenshot of the error message that I receive.




How can I correct this?

Thanks and Best Regards

Error 0x8007016A: The Cloud File provider is not running

After some problems I reset OneDrive and moved the folder to another location (on another partition).

I pointed OneDrive setting to this new empty folder called OneDrive.

All my files (385GB) are downloading now to this new (empty) OneDrive folder.

I don't want to leave anything just in the cloud on demand.

I don't trust OneDrive anymore.

The downloading (syncing) is very very slow.

While syncing I get the message that there will be 2 copies of the same file created.

The name of the second file has the name of my PC attached.

The OneDrive files are syncing to an empty folder.

How can there be two versions of the same file????

I have to stop the synchronizing before my files get corrupted.

Second problem!

In the old location of the OneDrive folder there is still an "old" folder with all my files.

This folder is not part of OneDrive anymore and is certainly not syncing.

It's just a normal folder with some files.

When I try to delete a folder inside this old OneDrive I get an error saying this is not possible???

This folder cannot be deleted because the cloudprovider is not running.

Error 0x8007016A

Do I have to reset again?

I stil need my files in the OneDrive cloud.

I'm afraid of loosing my files.

Is this the "new" OneDrive?

Hi Eric-Kell,

When yo reset one drive ill re-sync all files from the cloud so this is a normal behavior.

So far i understand that you have a duplicate files now. if yes identify the duplicity and remove it.

Can you go to one drive online to verify if all your file are there?

If the synchronization is slow it might be your bandwidth because one drive is synchronizing all files at once.

If you have multiple folders ill suggest to choose folders to sync until you get all you files synced.

 

Robocopy - The cloud file provider is not running

Hello

I have been using RoboCopy and PowerShell as a scheduled task to backup data for years.

However I now have a problem when the files are on OneDrive and the folder being backed up does not find the file. I get the response

ERROR 362 (0x0000016A) Copying File {FileName}

The cloud file provider is not running.

I have OneDrive running under the same account that is running the scheduled task and the scheduled task is

Program/Script:

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

Add Arguments (optional):

-NoProfile -NoLogo -NonInteractive -File {Script}.ps1

Any help much appreciated
