Dear respected Christine Cooke2,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

I’m sorry you’re having a problem but based on your description we can work together to resolve it.

For the situation you encountered, we deeply understand the inconvenience caused and apologize for it.

As per your description, firstly may I know dies this happened to a specific Folder? if yes, here are workaround is to create a new folder in the OneDrive folder with the same intended name> go into it and create a new empty txt file. wait for that file to sync. Then copy the rest of the files into the folder.

Repeat the process for every nested folder till all the files are synced.

We appreciate your understanding that sometimes the initial suggestions may not resolve the problem very soon. However, we can work together to narrow down and resolve the situation. So, please kindly provide more information below to let us work further.

1. Does the issue happens on all a specific Folder ?
