  1. Stop synching files


    OneDrive is synching files that I do not want synched. I cannot stop the process. When I choose to eliminate a folder (e.g., "Desktop") from synching, I get an an error message says that the synching can't be stopped because the files are not done synching. The only thing that stops the synching is OneDrive filling up and it says I have no space. I delete the unwanted files from OneDrive, making space. Then when I start the computer it starts synching the files again. What do I have to do to stop this unwanted synching?

    :)

    Step 1: I suggest you to run the
    Troubleshooter for Windows App and see if it helps to resolve the issue.

  3. Can't stop large Outlook 2016 files from synching with OneDrive


    Hi There,
    I have 17 large outlook 2016 files ranging from 1GB to 10 GB. I initially put them into my OneDrive folder and identified them for synching. Bad mistake because it takes days to upload files of this size and every time that I start Outlook, the Synch for all files restart from zero because the files all open when Outlook starts.
    So, I thought I would remove them from the Synch and got the attached error.

    Basically it seems to being saying that I can't remove them from the Synch until they have fully uploaded which isn't possible as it would take a week for that to happen.
    Help please?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Edge not synching favorites


    Edge was synching favorites nicely till recently - probably until the Fall Creators Update. Now it's stopped synching. I have 2 computers with the same windows login account and both set to synch in both windows and edge.

    I've tried an alternative dns server (8.8.8.8) which helped some people with the problem a year ago but it didn't fix it.

    Anyone else have this problem?
