Error 0x8007016A: The Cloud File provider is not running

TRY THIS

1.  Go to MICROSOFT EDGE

2.  You see a little red square in the right-hand corner (Office app)

3.  Hit the lift click on mouse and you will see some more APPS.

4.   Hit any of the other APPS except the ONEDRIVE app (It won’t work). I prefer the OUTLOOK APP and go to your email, all the others will also work except the ONEDRIVE app.

5.  When you go to your email, you will see in the upper left corner in the blue heading 9 little white dots (or squares).

6. Left click on those dots and the apps should appear again.

7.  Now go to the ONEDRIVE app and it should work.

8. It will bring you to FILES and you will see some folders.
9. Go to DOCUMENT folder and the ACROBAT FOLDERS and all the other folders you couldn’t get should be assessable.

I hope this will solve your problems. If this works for you let me know.

Hi NORMANBUZZANCO.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my problem. Just after posting my problem I did sort it out the same way as you described. I deleted my one drive folder and then reinstalled everything to a free drive, I had already had backed up the files on one drive due to some of the posts like yours before the problem started. So in a way you sorted my problem and hopefully others by postings you have made in the past.

Many thanks for all your help.

Lawrence.

After some problems I reset OneDrive and moved the folder to another location (on another partition).

I pointed OneDrive setting to this new empty folder called OneDrive.

All my files (385GB) are downloading now to this new (empty) OneDrive folder.

I don't want to leave anything just in the cloud on demand.

I don't trust OneDrive anymore.

The downloading (syncing) is very very slow.

While syncing I get the message that there will be 2 copies of the same file created.

The name of the second file has the name of my PC attached.

The OneDrive files are syncing to an empty folder.

How can there be two versions of the same file????

I have to stop the synchronizing before my files get corrupted.

Second problem!

In the old location of the OneDrive folder there is still an "old" folder with all my files.

This folder is not part of OneDrive anymore and is certainly not syncing.

It's just a normal folder with some files.

When I try to delete a folder inside this old OneDrive I get an error saying this is not possible???

This folder cannot be deleted because the cloudprovider is not running.

Error 0x8007016A

Do I have to reset again?

I stil need my files in the OneDrive cloud.

I'm afraid of loosing my files.

Is this the "new" OneDrive?
