Xbox and OneDrive won´t log in sometimes

For some reason my one computer won´t log on to the Xbox app and OneDrive. My other computer on the other hand works perfectly fine. I can´t seem to find to reason and even tried with a factory reset and still the same issue. Help?

I´ve allready tried deactivating the firewall and even rebooting the computer

I have no problems doing so.

Just to verify, are you doing all of the steps exactly in the tutorial?

It's critical that you unlink OneDrive before moving the folder, and to select the new folder location when setting up OneDrive next.

Can't change the sync location of OneDrive to an external hard disk

Hi ychow





Greetings!



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



Upon reading the description you have posted, it seems that you have an issue with Microsoft Office 365 wherein you want to know how you can sync your OneDrive files to a different hard disk drive.



By the way, if you haven't tried the steps that we are going to provide down below. Then we suggest that you try it:

Change the location of your OneDrive folder

1. Click the OneDrive cloud icon up in your Menu bar, click the three dots to open the menu, and select Preferences.
   
2. Go to the Account tab.
   
3. Select Unlink this PC.
   

2. Move your OneDrive folders

Using File Explorer or Mac Finder, drag or move your computer's OneDrive folders to your preferred location.

Tip: If you want to have your OneDrive on a different drive (e.g. D:\ or a flash drive), read Install OneDrive on an external drive.

3. Re-link your OneDrive

Follow these steps to re-link your OneDrive

1. Go back to the OneDrive setup screen and select Get started
   
2. Follow the instructions until you get to the screen where you see your OneDrive folder's location. Select Change Location.
   
3. Choose the new folder location, and then select OK.
   
4. You'll see a message letting you know that the OneDrive folder in the new location already has files in it. Select Use this location, and then finish setting up OneDrive.
   

Tip: If you had chosen to sync only some folders before the reset, you'll need to do that again once sync has completed. See Choose which OneDrive folders to sync to your computer for more information.
