OneDrive – Sync & Cloud File Help

OneDrive is where many customers store their important work and personal files. When sync stops working, red X icons appear, or files don’t upload, it creates confusion and risk.

Our motive is to understand what status icons and error messages OneDrive is showing, and then help fix sync safely so files stay protected and accessible.
