Windows 10: Some files or folders in One Drive say Synch Pending

Some of the files / folders in my one drive folder are flagged "Synch Pending". I google searched and found some responses on this website. I kept poking around and stumbled on the following:

1. Right click on the One Drive folder, or perhaps even a folder inside the One Drive folder (Assumed, but not tested).

2. click on the Settings, just below "View Online". This opens the Microsoft One Drive dialog box. It has several tabs, starting with settings.

3. Look on the bottom of the box and you should see "Files On Demand" with a check box underneath.

4. Uncheck that check box.


As soon as I did that, all of my Synch Pending flags disappeared. I assume that somewhere during the process of creating or storing files in some one drive directories that I inadvertently flagged a file or directory as on line only, the process one drive uses to save local drive disk space.


I am certainly not expert in this subject, hope this helps, it worked for me, after spending a few hours reading google searches and trying to figure out what was happening.

Cheers,

?? How do I PW protect Folders in windows

hmmm?
Sharing files and folders overview You can share the files and folders stored on your computer, on a network, and on the Web. The method you choose depends on whom you want to share files with, and what computer they will use to access the files.

When you share files or folders, they are not as protected as they are when you do not share them. People with access to your computer or your network might be able to read, copy, or change files that are in a shared folder. You should always be aware that the files and folders that you share are available to other people and be sure to monitor your shared files and folders on a regular basis.

Important

If your computer is not joined to a domain, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to automatically turn file and printer sharing on or off. To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
If you both use the same computer

You can put the files you want to share in the Shared Documents folder. Files stored in the Shared Documents folder or its subfolders are always available to other users on your computer.

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, the Shared Documents, Shared Pictures, and Shared Music folders are not available.
If both computers are on the same network

You can share a folder or drive on your computer with others on the network. You can also control whether the files in the shared folder can be modified by other users.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, you will need to set the Access control for the folder or drive after sharing it. For more information, go to To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions.
If you want to share your files online

You can publish pictures and documents on the Web using the Web Publishing Wizard. The files will be stored in a private, online folder that you manage.

Step-by-step procedure

If you don't want others to access your files

You can prevent other users from accessing your folders and the files they contain. When your computer is connected to a domain, this is called setting permissions for your file or folder. When your computer is connected to a workgroup, this is called making your folders private.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

Step-by-step procedure
If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:
