Hi, "Rolando Vil".
Indeed, it really seemed that it made little sense to wait for a Full Calendar Month until the Synchronization would have finally succeeded.
I have written to you a Post on this Thread on the Date of Wednesday, 10-January-2018. After more than one month, today, on the Date of Monday, 12-February-2018, I am coming back in order to summarize what has happened in the meantime.
The end result is the fact that this is the Last Time when I am writing on this kind of Support Forums and also this is the Last Time when I am writing Electronic Mail Messages to Support Teams.
The Support Saga has been utterly chaotic. I have not received any sensible pieces of advice. Nothing has really helped in solving this Issue.
Recently, the Synchronization was almost finished, with only one or two Files that were left to be downloaded. I have manually tested also the Uploading Process through the
https://onedrive.live.com/ Web-Site and it is working fine.
However, after changing a little bit some Settings, I had the surprise to have again 84.8 GigaBytes of Data left to be downloaded that are occupied by a number of 292,386 Files.
After requesting to be left alone and after receiving a FortNight of Silence, I have reopened the discussion with the Support Team. They have not replied yet and honestly I do not expect much from their part.
I just want to paste here the Support that I have got so far. It did not help me at all. Hopefully, it will be instructive for other persons who are interested in Cloud Providing nowadays.

Hi there,
We are not sure about your concern and so we would request you to elaborate the Issue that you are facing right now.
We would like to tell you that you have 24 GigaBytes of Data in the Recycle Bin of your
"Microsoft" Account with the Electronic Mail Address <REMOVED ELECTRONIC MAIL ADDRESS>. Please check the same in the "OneDrive" Web Application (http://onedrive.com/)
and if you find any important File there, then please restore the same.
Go to this Link to know how to delete or restore Files from "OneDrive":
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Delete-or-restore-files-and-folders-in-OneDrive-949ada80-0026-4db3-a953-c99083e6a84f
We have checked the Link that you have shared with us. There you have mentioned that the Synchronization is not working and that you have tried Unlinking, Relinking, Uninstallation, and Reinstallation as well. We appreciate your efforts. However, in
order to look at your concern in our way, we will need a few more information in order to isolate and then to assist you in the right direction after knowing the present situation.
Please provide the following information:
- What is the Format of the Files that you are trying to synchronize with "OneDrive"?
- What is the Total Size of the Data that you are trying to synchronize with "OneDrive"?
- Are you now synchronizing with the "OneDrive" Synchronizing Client (which comes preinstalled) or are you trying to synchronize it with the Universal Application of "OneDrive" (which we install from the "Microsoft" "Windows
Store")?
- Did you check your "OneDrive" Web Application (http://onedrive.com/) to ensure whether the Data is being uploaded or not?
- Please open the "OneDrive" folder in your Personal Computer and share a ScreenShot of the same.
Right-click the white "OneDrive" Cloud Icon in the Notification Area, at the far right of the TaskBar. (You might need to click the "Show Hidden Icons" Arrow next to the Notification Area to see the "OneDrive" Icon). Click
"View Synchronization Problems". Share a ScreenShot of the same.
Thanks,
Anurag

Hi, "Anurag S.".
What a bright idea!
I have flushed the Recycle Bin.
Still, I have not noticed anywhere the Value of 24 GigaBytes of DataSpace consumed by the Files that were present in the Recycle Bin.
Anyway, even after Flushing the Recycle Bin, the Used DataSpace has remained at the same Constant Value of 91.1 GigaBytes out of the Total Capacity of 105 GigaBytes.

Let me now answer the rest of the questions that you have asked me in the rest of this Electronic Mail Message.
Q1. "What is the Format of the Files that you are trying to synchronize with 'OneDrive'?"
A1. That is difficult to say.
If you revisit the
Community Forum Thread, then you will see that the Total Count of the Local Files rises up to the Value of 374,320 Files occupying a Total DataSpace of 101 GigaBytes. This means that the Average File Size is of 290,610 Bytes.
The Data has different Types: Textual or Binary, Documents or Pictures and in general - anything that you can think of and way beyond.
Q2. "What is the Total Size of the Data that you are trying to synchronize with 'OneDrive'?"
A2. As I have previously stated both in the
Community Forum Thread and earlier in this Electronic Mail Message, the Total Size of the Local Data is of around 101 GigaBytes of DataSpace.
"Are you now synchronizing with the 'OneDrive' Synchronization Client (which comes preinstalled) or are you trying to synchronize it with the Universal Application of 'OneDrive' (which we install from the 'Microsoft'
'Windows Store')?"
This piece of information is also present in the
Community Forum Thread.
As I have understood so far, the "Microsoft" "Universal Windows Platform" Desktop Version of the "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Software Application cannot be used for Synchronization, but it may be used for Downloading
and Uploading Files and Folders.
I have not used it much, but, for that purpose, it seems to be running fine. I have not attempted to use it yet for any kind of Synchronization.
I am using the Classical "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Software Application. This is the one that is buggy. The ScreenShots from the System Tray are only available for this type of the Software Application.
Q3. "Did you check your 'OneDrive' Web Application (http://onedrive.com/) to ensure whether the Data is being uploaded
or not?"
A3. I did.
My impression is that the Software Application is attempting in vain to download those 91.1 GigaBytes of Data over and over again and that it cannot finish the process, for some unknown reason. After this, it should also upload the Local Changes,
but it seems that it never reaches that step.
Q4. "Please open the 'OneDrive' folder in your Personal Computer and then share a ScreenShot of the same."
A4. Sure. Knock yourself out.

Q5. "Right-click the white 'OneDrive' Cloud Icon in the Notification Area, at the far right of the TaskBar. (You might need to click the 'Show Hidden Icons' Arrow next to the Notification Area to see the
'OneDrive' Icon). Click 'View Synchronization Problems'. Share a ScreenShot of the same."
A5. I cannot perform this action.
The 'View Synchronization Problems' Option is Grayed-Out, that is, Dimmed-Out or Inactive.
Best Regards,
DOBRESCU_Mihai.

I have checked your Account with the Electronic Mail Address <REMOVED ELECTRONIC MAIL ADDRESS> and seen that only 87% or 91.1 GigaBytes of Storage Space is already used on your Account.
Are you looking for any deleted Files in your "OneDrive" Account?
Do you have the concern with the Storage Space that "OneDrive" has used to synchronize your Files?
Thanks,
Sudha

Hi, "Sudha C.".
It is amazing that both "Anurag S." and yourself have not understood this Issue yet.
Please read again the
Community Forum Thread.
The Situation is quite simple: the "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Software Application does not synchronize its Files and Folders between their Online Versions and their Local Versions.

Let me answer your questions now.
Q1. "Are you looking for any deleted Files in your 'OneDrive' Account?"
A1. No, I am not looking for any deleted Files. I have just flushed the "Recycle Bin" earlier. I am not interested in the deleted Files.
The action of flushing the "Recycle Bin" has been performed at "Anurag S."'s request.
Are you also reading "Anurag S."'s Electronic Mail Messages?
Q2. "Do you have the concern with the Storage Space that 'OneDrive' has used to synchronize your Files?"
A2. No, the problem is not related to the Storage Space. The Synchronization simply does not end!
I am extremely disappointed at your intervention, "Sudha C.". I have written a huge thread apparently in vain.
Best Regards,
DOBRESCU_Mihai.

Hi,
As per the ScreenShot you are synchronizing around 70 GigaBytes of Data, so I would recommend you to try the selective synchronize to upload your Files or upload the Data in small chunks, by following the steps given below:
1. Go to the "Windows" TaskBar.
2. Click the "OneDrive" Cloud Icon.
3. To select which Folders to synchronize, right-click the blue Cloud Icon, and then click
Settings > Account > Choose Folders.

4. Select few Folders at a time and let them synchronize.
Please try this and let us know the results.
Thanks,
Sudha

Hi, "Sudha C.".
Thank you for writing another attempt to provide support to me.
It is amazing to me to see that you are suggesting such a solution.
In the ScreenShot that you have provided to me, I can see that the Data is of the Order of MegaBytes. The Selected Data has a Size of 14.4 MegaBytes.
Now, imagine that I would have to select such small little chunks of Data out of a Huge Pile of Data amounting to 126 GigaBytes of DataSpace, which is the Size of the Local "C:\Users\DOBRE\OneDrive\" Folder. How many attempts would I have
to perform until I got some kind of progress?
It is unacceptable for a Human Being to perform the work of a robot.
Even if I want to follow your piece of advice, this solution implies the Deletion of the Unselected Local Data, as it can be seen in the ScreenShot that appears below.

Why is it so difficult to synchronize only 126 GigaBytes of Data? Using the "MEGA" Cloud Provider, a user has only to start the "MEGA Sync" Software Application and then to wait for it to synchronize, for instance, 65 GigaBytes
of Data in a very smooth way, only in a few days.
I expected to have a better experience with the "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Software Application, which should be better integrated with the "Microsoft" "Windows" Operating System.
I do not want to think about what kind of Issue I might encounter if I had to synchronize one TeraByte of Data.
Best Regards,
DOBRESCU_Mihai.

Hi DOBRESCU,
Thanks for the information. We apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the "OneDrive".
Regarding this Issue, I would suggest you perform the steps mentioned below as the FireWall may be blocking the Upload and Download speed and thus the synchronization. Here is what you need to do:
- Go to Settings then Update and Security.
- Click on Windows Defender.
- Open Windows Defender Security Center.
- Click on the Shield Icon on the left side.
- Then select Virus and Threat Protection.
- Turn off Real-Time Protection.
- Also turn off Cloud-Based Protection.
Also, follow these steps to switch off indexing:
Right-click on the "OneDrive" Folder in File Explorer. Choose
Properties, then under the General Tab, click Advanced. Uncheck the box "Allow Files in this Folder to have contents indexed" and say yes to the prompt "Apply to all Subfolders".
Once this is done, please try to synchronize the Files again and let us know if this works.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi, "Sandeep S.", "Sudha C.", and "Anurag S.".
I would like to thank you all for attempting to assist me in solving this Issue.
There is no need to apologize, as you have not developed any parts of the Operating System or any of these Software Applications.
However, unfortunately, it seems that you have not understood yet this Issue.
I am not interested mainly in the speed of the Synchronization Process.
The main problem is that the "OneDrive.EXE" Process is recurrently crashing and most of the time it is restarted.
Recently, I have even encountered a Black Screen Of Death that was not recoverable by any other means than by a Hardware Power-Down followed by a Hardware Power-Up.
After the Latest Crashes and Restarts of the "OneDrive.EXE" Process, I am surprised to see that the Operating System has not managed to restart it again and I cannot see it in the "Task Manager" Software Application.

Therefore, what it seems to be a simple matter of waiting actually turns out to be a Software Fault that constantly crashes the "OneDrive.EXE" Process.
By disabling the "Microsoft" "Windows" "Defender" FireWall and by switching off the indexing of the contents of the "C:\Users\DOBRE\OneDrive\" Local Folder, as you have suggested, then maybe the speed of the Synchronization
Process might be increased, but that would not fix the Crashing Behavior.
Also, exposing the Operating System by disabling the Firewall is a Risky Action that I am not willing to perform.
As I can see, the "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Web Application has constantly been reporting a Value of 91.1 GigaBytes for the Latest Few Months. That means that nothing has been uploaded in the meantime. Only Downloads have been performed.

The problem definitely resides in the Local Operating System and in the non-("Microsoft" "Universal Windows Platform") Version of the "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Software Application.
By deleting a few Duplicate Files, I have been able to reduce the Total Size of the Local Copy of the Data that is contained in the "C:\Users\DOBRE\OneDrive\" Local Folder to a mere 109 GigaBytes contained in only 815,782 Items (501,905
Files and 313,877 Folders).


I shall wait for the "OneDrive.EXE" Process to get restarted and, unless that happens, then I shall start it myself.
My impression is that the "OneDrive.EXE" Process has a Software Fault created, for instance, by the Erroneous Handling of Files and Folders with Paths longer than 255 Characters. Or by some other Mishandled Situation.
Unless this Software Fault gets fixed, then I shall continue receiving Crashes and Restarts forever.
Thank you and Best Regards,
DOBRESCU_Mihai.

Hi DOBRESCU,
Thanks for the information.
The "OneDrive" Synchronizing Client crashes due to the following possibilities:
1. If there are any 0 KiloByte Files available in the Files that you are trying to upload. So, for this Issue, I suggest you remove the 0 KiloByte Files from the "OneDrive" Folder under the
File Explorer. Here is what you need to do:
- Go to the "OneDrive" Folder.
- Search for the 0 KiloByte Files in the Search Box.
- Select the Files and delete those.
2. If there are any Database Files like PST Files of the Outlook Backup. So, if you are trying to upload PST Files, please stop those and try to synchronize again.
Please try these steps and let us know if this helps.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi, "Sandeep S.".
Please stop calling me "DOBRESCU", which is obviously my Family Name. You can safely address me as "Mihai", which is my Christian Name.
I have again found 110 Duplicate Files with Sizes greater than 100 MegaBytes. I have deleted the Duplicates, leaving only one Copy for each File. Therefore, I must have deleted more than 55 Duplicate Files.
I am now deleting the Files with the Size of Zero Bytes.
I am not happy with this Solution, as even Empty Files may be used by various Software Applications.
But - what to do? - I am Freely Testing your Operating System and the "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Software Application.
For instance, a File with the "__init__.py" Name may be empty, but its presence might be required in certain Software Packages.
But what does this matter, is not it? I just want to complete the Synchronization, regardless of any losses in the Semantics of the Data.
I have deleted 2,023 Files with the Size of Zero Bytes.
I am not using anymore the "Microsoft" "OutLook" Desktop Software Application, so there should be no Files with the ".PST" Extension anywhere in the Data. But I am now searching for them, also, just in case there are some
old Files kept somewhere.
I have not found any ".PST" Files.
I have been waiting for the "OneDrive.EXE" Process to get restarted, to no avail. However, the following Process Image has appeared in the "Task Manager" Software Application:

I shall wait for the "OneDrive.EXE" Process to get restarted by itself and then I shall report back to you soon.
Thank you and Best Regards,
DOBRESCU_Mihai.

Hi, "Sandeep S.".
Thank you for Monitoring this Issue and for Intervening in its Resolution.
There is no need to apologize. This Issue is obviously Biblical and it goes way beyond the Regular Usage of the "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Software Application.
The Problem probably resides in the "Microsoft" "Windows" Operating System and probably more specifically it is well-hidden within the intricacies of its File System.
I have noted from the Olden Days of the "Microsoft" "Windows" "Vista" Operating System that something started to go fishy with the Handling of the File System and I am not surprised that there are still Issues resurfacing
from this area.
For your sake, I have nicely rebooted and updated the Operating System. It did not seem to update anything. The Version Numbers are still
10.0.1709.16299.192.
The two Most Recent Software Updates have been installed on the Date of Wednesday, 10-January-2018.
I have run your commands. Here is their output:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.192]

C:\Users\DOBRE\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\Setup\Logs>
The "OneDrive" System Tray Icon is now in the "Downloading" State.

I have deleted some more Duplicates from the "C:\Users\DOBRE\OneDrive\" Folder. Now its Local Data has the Size of fewer than 100 GigaBytes, contained in only 813,695 Items (499,815 Files and 313,880 Folders).
Remember that this Account currently has only 105 GigaBytes of Web Storage and that the Online Data has remained at the Constant Size of 91.1 GigaBytes for the last few weeks or months.

Please advise on how to continue.
My own idea is to leave it again for a while and to see what else is going on.
If you need some Logs or anything from me, just ask.
Thank you and Best Regards,
DOBRESCU_Mihai.

Hi, "Sandeep S.".
In your Latest Electronic Mail Message, you have stated that: "If you think so".
Who am I to think anything about anything?
Do I know the Operating System?
I have no idea how it is working.
As I have attempted a few times to state on this Series of Electronic Mail Messages, there is a Software Defect somewhere that is recurrently crashing the Synchronization.
In the following ScreenShot, there are two Dead Corpses of the Previously Crashed Process Images.
Every time the Process Image is restarted, the Downloading fails and the Uploading is never reached.

Do you understand that?
Thank You and Best Regards,
DOBRESCU_Mihai.

Hi,
Thanks for your time and patience towards resolving this Issue.
Here are some steps you can take to get rid of those Multiple Entries:
- First, open up "RegEdit" by hitting Windows + R and typing "RegEdit".
- Second, navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace.
- In this Directory, you will see a List of GUIDs associated with your different "OneDrive" Entries in the Left Nav. Clicking on one of these GUIDs will display the Friendly Name (e.g.: "OneDrive - Contoso") in the Data Field.
- From here, delete any Multiple Entries such that you only have a single GUID with a Friendly Name of "OneDrive - Contoso" registered under the NameSpace.
- If you are already signed in and running "OneDrive" with your Business / Organization Account, you can keep the one Entry that opens your Local "OneDrive" Folder by not deleting the Registry Entry that matches the Value of
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\{Your Tenant Name}\NameSpaceRootId.
Thanks for using "OneDrive" and for your patience as we figure out how to fix the problem you experienced.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi, "Sandeep S.".
The "Microsoft" "Windows" "Registry" "Editor" is another piece of intricacy that might complicate things even further. Eventually, I can end up looking at the 64-Bit Binary Machine Code or at the Mnemonics of
the Assembly Language.
But what does that matter, is not it? Let me see if anything happens this time.
The "Computer\HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Personal\NameSpaceRootId" Key contains the "{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}" Value.
The "Computer\HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace" Folder contains three Keys.
The "Computer\HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}" Preserved Key contains the "OneDrive" Value.
The "Computer\HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{3F218737-3B9B-4C0D-B3D3-F933047B1955}" Removed Key used to contain the "MEGA" Value.
The "Computer\HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{BAECBF35-12CA-4B51-91FF-BDB878F2B873}" Removed Key used to contain the "MEGA" Value.
After deleting those two Keys, I can expect that one of the other Cloud Providers, namely "MEGA", will soon cease functioning normally.
Another person has suggested to me that the "MEGA" Cloud Provider should not be set up in a SubFolder of the Folder that is synchronized by the "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Cloud Provider.
The "MEGA Sync" Software Application is only seldom manually started, but I am now reconfiguring it in order to synchronize a Folder that is outside the "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Folder.
Alright. Now the "MEGA Sync" Software Application is configured to synchronize a SubFolder of the "C:\Users\DOBRE\Documents\MEGA\" Folder, while the"Microsoft" "OneDrive" Software Application has been
left to synchronize the "C:\Users\DOBRE\OneDrive\" Folder.
Anyway, most of the time, the "MEGA Sync" Software Application is not running.
The Local Version of the Data should eventually be stored only in two Folders:
"C:\Users\DOBRE\OneDrive\Documents\"
"C:\Users\DOBRE\OneDrive\Pictures\"
For reasons that go way beyond the intricacies pertaining to the "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Software Application and to the "Microsoft" "Windows" Operating System (maybe complete inauspiciousness and the current imminent
end of the Ghor Kali Yuga?), the current behavior is the following one:
1. The "Microsoft" "OneDrive" Software Application attempts in vain to Download the 91.1 GigaBytes of Data that are reported by the Web Application, where a few other Files and Folders exist for the moment. The
Download Process never ends. Hopefully, after the Deletion of those two Keys, maybe the Recurrent Crashing Behavior will be reduced.
2. I am constantly moving the Data from outside of those two above-mentioned Folders inside those two above-mentioned Folders. This is quite a Useless Action, because, since the Download Process never ends, the Synchronization Process
that also implies the starting of the Upload Process and of the Deletion Process of any Data from the Cloud never happens.
3. I am writing another long letter like this one to you.
I have not restarted or rebooted anything.
Please let me know what I should do after performing these steps.
Thank You and Best Regards,
DOBRESCU_Mihai.
