Hi Thomas,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Let me help you.

• 
  When did you receive the error message?
  
• 
  Do you see any error code along with the error message?
  
• 
  Have you made any changes in settings prior to the issue?
  

I suggest checking the File History drive if it has enough space to save temporary versions of your files.

Meanwhile, I would like to suggest you refer to the following link to reconnect your drive.
