OneDrive Icons Always Syncing
Description:
OneDrive icons will be stuck in a continuous upload fashion, even though everything has been synced. This is usually caused by documents being uploaded on exit in Office applications.
To Resolve:
-
Close the OneDrive system tray icon on your taskbar.
-
Open Task Manager and kill any of the following:
groove.exe
msosync.exe
msouc.exe
winword.exe
excel.exe
powerpnt.exe
-
Run – %localappdata%MicrosoftOffice15.0
-
Delete the “OfficeFileCache” folder completely.
-
Start OneDrive back up and go to Setting – Uncheck “Use office to work on files..”.
I use OneDrive as a backup solution with Office365 and never have anyone but me using my documents so I don’t use this option. Obviously if you want that ability, you can disregard this fix.
