Windows 10: Error 0x8007016A: The Cloud File provider is not running.

I can no longer open any zipped files, or move or copy any files in any of the OneDrive folders on my PC. Every time I try I get error message 0x8006017A and the message that "The Cloud File provider is not running".


This problem occurs in both normal and safe modes, and regardless of whether the OneDrive app is running or not.


Help!

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.

Thank you.

I was able to copy some of the files.

I thank you for your assistance.

I have now deleted the files I could not copy, as I can download them from my OneDrive (in the clouds)

however, I would have to use a large amount of Broadband!!!!!

Thanking You

Best Regards
