    File is stuck on Onedrive sync and I cannot copy or back it up


    I have a file that is stuck in syncing statusI've tried a half dozen remedies proposed on line. Some of the many fixes I found just didn't work. It is my home system, so "contacting my system administrator" isn't an option.I even disabled onedrive and it is still showing that it is syncing to the non-existent process.It's an important file I would like to back it up somewhere other than just OneDrive.Does anyone have a RECENT fix.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    Files not syncing to OneDrive

    Hi,

    I understand that you are facing issues not syncing properly with OneDrive.

    I suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps in the article

    and check if it works for you.

    For more information, you can check the article to

    .

    If you are still facing the issue, I suggest you to get in touch with the OneDrive support team.

    Sign in to OneDrive.com from any browser, click the ‘?’ help icon on the top banner of the page and select
    Email OneDrive support. Submit your question and follow the prompts to request support.

    Hope it helps.

    File is stuck on Onedrive sync and I cannot copy or back it up

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
