Windows 10: Signing in 'onedrive" to syncronize with my laptop after signing out

I have installed onedrive on my laptop and it is automatically syncronizing my files. I signed out from one drive for security reason when I was leaving my laptop with some one else. Now I am trying to sign in again, onedrive icon on my task bar is always in "onedrive signing in" mode. The moment I put my e-mail ID on the following screen, the dialogue box as well as the one drive icon disappear.

signing into onedrive

Hi JoelDavial,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you are unable to sign in to OneDrive on your Surface Pro. We do have a dedicated team, which supports issue related to OneDrive. Meanwhile you can try the following steps and check if that helps.

I would suggest you to check if you are able to login to
OneDrive
website. If you are able to login to the website, then please try downloading the
latest version of OneDrive
and check if that helps.

However, if the issue persist I would suggest you to contact OneDrive support team. You can follow the steps below to contact the OneDrive support team.

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.

Thanks,

OneDrive signing in


I need to get to my online OneDrive to download some documents and/or sync. My laptop folder is empty, understandable as I have never used the laptop with OneDrive when it had win7 as an OS. When I try various directions to sign in I get the following message. "There was a problem connecting to OneDrive. Check your internet connection and try again". I understand that to sync you have to be signed in the PC with your microsoft account. So I tried that but when I click on; "sign in with a microsoft account instead" I get the following message "something went wrong, try again or select cancel to set up your device later". There is nothing wrong with my connection to the net, that part took me two days to cure.

Any ideas?

Clive

 

Signing in - Sorry, there is a problem with onedrive servers

Hi Sahil,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.

• When you say, ‘added another one on my laptop’, are you to trying to setup a new Microsoft account on the device or are you trying to link it to OneDrive?
  

If you’re facing issues with setting up a new Microsoft account on the device, I suggest you to
Create a new local administrator accountand
then convert it to a Microsoft account. Refer Sign in with Windows
10 section in the article How to sign in to
your Microsoft account for the same.

If you’re facing issues with linking an account to OneDrive, I suggest you to check the
versioning settings of your OneDrive library. Follow the suggestions by
ReneYu MSFT on the thread Sorry, there is a problem
with the OneDrive servers, dated 29 April 2016, for the same.

Hope it helps.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
