My OneDrive folder in my user folder is also now an alias. When I try and open files, they do indeed have to be downloaded from the cloud. When I browse my OneDrive folder there are lengthy pauses as it attempts to populate the file menu from the cloud. The OneDrive files which are no longer accessible locally amount to hundreds of Gb of data. Strangely, this includes files that I generated in the past day or two and which I believed I had saved in my local OneDrive folder. Unfortunately that was not the end of the problem, as my OneDrive files now all appear to be located solely in the cloud, and are NOT accessible from local HDD storage. I manually started OneDrive and found the preference "open at login" was unchecked. I then noticed that my sidebar shortcut to OneDrive was gone, along with shortcuts to various OneDrive subfolders, and that OneDrive had not automatically restarted. Initially I thought this was a permissions problem as when I tried to open a file from within MS Office apps I got an error message along the lines of "user doesn't have access permission". I use a work / institutional OneDrive account to keep my work synched between home & office Macs.Īfter the upgrade, on my home iMac, I started having problems with not being able to open files/documents located in my OneDrive folder. I upgraded my home iMac 2020 to Monterey a few days ago. Hope it stays fixed.and hope this may help.

Must be a problem with the Monterey Upgrade from Big Sur and OneDrive integration… The clue was a brand new MacBook Air M1 running Monterey out of the box that sync'd with OneDrive flawlessly and didn't create the goofy files in the Library folder. This process actually took less time than digging through the internet to find suggestions. I have a fast internet so it "only" took about 3.5 hours to down load 202 GB.

There were two virtually identical sets of data. Then finally took a breath and deleted the actual document files in the CloudStorage folder and the Group Container folder. Not sure if I needed to do but did it anyway. This was a bit tedious looking for onedrive or microsoft.onedrive files. Signed out of OneDrive, removed the app and Deleted ALL the OneDrive files in the many Library folder. I talked to a Microsoft specialist and he had not seen this problem before, he suggested reinstalling OneDrive as a solution.ġ.made a copy of the files in the various OneDrive locations to an external hard drive so I have them safe.Ģ. I was able to get my problem fixed-Here is what happened I'm also not sure if my Onedrive files are being uploaded to iCloud. Well, I'm concerned about file versions, as well as conflicts. (As you can see on this image, some icons have desapeared after i clicked on them and waited until what I think was a download. If I click on this iCloud icons it changes to a downloading icon and sometimes it seams to complete the download, in others don't. As I'm not able to locate the files on my iCloud drive. Insted of having a folder inside my user folder, there's an alias, pointing to "/Users/leonardo/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Personal".īut the strange thing is that instead of have a column with just Onedrive status icons, I've got the iCloud icon status on its right side too. I've upgraded to Monterey from Big Sur and since this the physical location of the OneDrive folder has changed.
