Hey there,

I use Onedrive to sync all my documents/photos/videos.

For some reason, the damn program won't automatically sync a file to the cloud when it is saved on my primary device (a laptop) , meaning when I got to access it on a different device the available file is an earlier version, often days old. If I force Onedrive to sync it will usually pick up the changed file and upload it, but it's a real hassle to do this each and every time. I've tried saving a file in a number of different locations and the same problem always happens.

This never happened with Dropbox, which I used prior - it too had a useful indicator on the file in Windows Explorer showing whether it was up-to-date, not synced, or in the process of being synced. Onedrive gives no such indication.

I really don't want to have to re-sync all my files, given it's something like 100GB, but that appears to be what Microsoft's Onedrive fix-it tool wants me to do.

Can anyone advise me what could be going wrong here, and what I may be able to do to fix it (other than re-sync everything!)?

If I can't fix Onedrive I think I'll go back to sticking key documents in Dropbox because at least this always worked for me perfectly in the past.

Thanks in advance.
