Windows 10: OneDrive folder connection lost after 1903 upgrade

I never had a problem with win10 upgrade but this time my onedrive folder is not working.

Is there a way to tell onedrive to reuse the folder I already have? Or should I cut and paste all files from the older to new folder.

What is safer and supported?

Hi Saurabh,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To be on the safer, you may try copying the files from the old OneDrive folder to the newly created one rather than using the cut/paste feature and see if it stops downloading (sync) the content from your OneDrive account to the local PC.



We do have a dedicated support for OneDrive related issues, I suggest to get in touch with OneDrive Support team, where we have the support professionals well equipped with the knowledge on this subject. Please follow the steps given below.

• 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.

OneDrive folder connection lost after 1903 upgrade

I never had a problem with win10 upgrade but this time my onedrive folder is not working. Here is what happened

1. Upgraded to win10 1903 build

2. On logging in, I got a message that my onedrive folder cannot be found

I looked and my OneDrive folder and all the files were very much there in c:\users\myuser.000\onedrive

3. I clicked on the onedrive sync and logged in again with my usual id

4. That created a new OneDrive folder in the same folder c:\users\myuser.000\onedrive. This folder has onedrive icon. The older one has the normal folder icon.

5. The sync process started downloading all files again in this new folder

6. I paused the sync as I dont have disk space to since everything again and dont want to download 900GB data again.

Is there a way to tell onedrive to reuse the folder I already have? Or should I cut and paste all files from the older to new folder.

Hi Amrit,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. What happens when you try to connect this app to Cloud?
   
2. Are you getting any error code or error message while trying to connect?

Please follow the below suggested steps, so that you can link your app with Cloud (OneDrive).

1. Launch the
   Book Bazaar Reader app.
   
2. Right click on the launched Window.
   
3. You should be getting the options at the left bottom of the screen with
   Add a book, Cloud and Select.
   
4. Click on Cloud option, select
   Connect to the Cloud (OneDrive) and follow the onscreen prompts.
