  1. OneDrive not syncing files but shows "Up to date"


    I recently installed OneDrive and everything worked great. I created a directory junction linking My Documents folder to my OneDrive and the files all updated, the sync was near instant, all of my files had a little blue cloud icon next to them.


    Yesterday, I noticed that all of my files in that directory had blue circular arrows indicating "Sync pending". The OneDrive dashboard, however, is showing "Up-to-date".


    If I create a new file, it doesn't sync. I need to quit OneDrive and relaunch it. It will then sync all pending changes and then go back to showing "Up-to-date" but it's doing nothing. If I add files or move them in folders other than the junction folder, the sync works normally.

    Perhaps this is a coincidence, or perhaps not, but yesterday I upgraded Windows to version 20H2.


    I just checked one of our other computers and OneDrive is syncing fine. It's running version 1909.


    I don't know if these are related but I'm just pointing it out.

    The only other thing I did yesterday was use WMP to connect my Photos and Videos Libraries to a network share. However, neither of those libraries or folders are in my OneDrive path so I don't believe this to be the issue.


    Troubleshooting steps so far:


    - I reset OneDrive using %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

    - Downloaded KB4550945 and tried to install it but it said it was not compatible with my windows version I believe this patch was for 1909.

    - Discovered I can get things to sync once by quitting and re-launching.


    I've attached a screenshot of File Explorer and OneDrive Dashboard for reference.

    I'm at a real loss here. I can't find answers anywhere and would love some assistance. Thank you in advance!

    OneDrive Placeholders are coming back, now called On-Demand Sync

    OneDrive not syncing files but shows "Up to date" [​IMG]


    "At Ignite 2016, Microsoft has just announced that it is bringing Placeholders back to OneDrive on Windows 10. Now, they are not called Placeholders anymore — Microsoft is renaming the feature to “On-Demand Sync” which makes a lot more sense than “Placeholders”.

    The company demoed this feature at Microsoft Ignite today, and it works just like it used to previously. As you can see in the screenshot above, the files stored in OneDrive weighed in around 9GB, but the actual size on disk was only around 3MB which is really neat. Of course, this feature isn’t anything new as it was available back in the Windows 8 days. However, Microsoft removed the feature with Windows 10, and after lots of waiting, they are finally coming back.

    In case you are not familiar with OneDrive Placeholders, it’s a pretty neat feature which lets you see all of your OneDrive files on your computer — but they are not actually downloaded on your PC. When you open them, OneDrive will download the files on-demand, saving your local space which is really useful, especially if you have a PC that doesn’t have a lot of storage.

    While Microsoft didn’t announce when exactly On-Demand Sync will be available to OneDrive users, we suspect it will be available with Windows 10 Redstone 2 — which is expected to arrive early next year.

    By doing this, OneDrive will stop syncing and restarts after opening the OneDrive app. If the files are still continuously syncing, please respond back so we can provide additional steps.

    We will wait for an update.
