Windows 10: Onedrive not copying from one folder to another if the file already exists.

Since I upgraded to MS Edge as my browser I cannot copy a file from one folder to another within Onedrive if the file already exists in that second folder. When I did this before, it would copy the file and rename it by adding a number to it automatically. Now it just hangs at "0" percent copied and never copies the file to the second folder. What can I do to fix this so I can keep multiple copies of the file in another folder?

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

Issue was the above, so thanks temp02.

 

I can't copy old Onedrive files to a new OneDrive folder

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft community forums.



I would suggest you to reset OneDrive and then try copying the files to see if it works.

• Press ‘Windows’
  and ‘R’ keys on the keyboard together to open the run dialog box and copy paste the following into the Run box:
  
  %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset
  
• Open Run window again and copy paste the following:
  
  %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset
  
• Restart the machine and try copying the files to see if the issue persists.
  

If the issue persists, turn off Files On-Demand feature and try copying. Refer to the article
Save disk space
with OneDrive Files On-Demand for Windows 10, for the same.
