    OneDrive Sync altered many desktop files

    ok...I got that part now about files needing to be in the local OneDrive folder in order to synch automatically..Though it seems i cant upload any files from my pc to my online OneDrive. Even those in the OneDrive local folders

    There still remains the issue of those Protected Folders-Desktop and Documents-not synching as they should--as suggested by that screenshot-whereby I cannot stop and start the synching process. The Desktop and Documents rectangles remain not selected--regardless of what I do

    OneDrive synch keeps re-synching large file.

    Thank you for your reply. However, I do want these files to be synched to the cloud with OneDrive. The problem that I am having is that they synch over and over again.

    I did try Pedro's usggestion, which seemed to work, but the problem still persists.

    For example, I have synched 5 video files overnight. This worked, in that I can open and run the files from another user, who shares my OneDrive folder.

    However, the notification panel that I see bottom picture below ("Synching 6 files" - I can't get the pictures in the correct order for some reason). So OneDrive has synched the files and then stopped without actually completing in someway.

    If I then stop OneDrive and restart it, or restart the computer, OneDrive starts synching those files again. This can then repeat itself when they complete synching.

    I tried Pedro's suggestion, but the files he suggested I delete were not there.

    When I restart, synch starts again ans show in the top pictire (Synching 7 files)

    Can't stop large Outlook 2016 files from synching with OneDrive

    Hi There,
    I have 17 large outlook 2016 files ranging from 1GB to 10 GB. I initially put them into my OneDrive folder and identified them for synching. Bad mistake because it takes days to upload files of this size and every time that I start Outlook, the Synch for all files restart from zero because the files all open when Outlook starts.
    So, I thought I would remove them from the Synch and got the attached error.

    Basically it seems to being saying that I can't remove them from the Synch until they have fully uploaded which isn't possible as it would take a week for that to happen.
    Help please?
    Thanks
    Paul
