Hi

I've attached an image of a typical file icon that have recently appeared in my local OneDrive file. These files cannot be opened and only appear in the Local Drive. If I go to the OneDrive online vault, the Icon is normal and the file can be opened.

Can anyone suggest what the issue is please?

    That screenshot also did not come through, if the button to upload the image is not working for you, try pasting the screenshot into your next reply.

    Your screenshot did not come through, please try providing the screenshot again in your next reply so I can see that icon you are referring to, so I can provide you with a solution.
