Word 2013 is crashing when attempting to open OneDrive files

I am getting this same exact problem. When opening my document from the OneDrive directory, it seems to hang on attempting to open the underlying template, and then crashes. If I move that file to outside of the OneDrive directory, I can open it.

This seemed to have started after a raft of office 2013 updates happened on April 18.

I also get a peculiar side-effect: if I attach the document to an Outlook e-mail after directly downloading from OneDrive, my recipients who have Office 365 are being asked to sign in with a message that says "Call us overprotective, but we need to verify your account again before opening this document." This message seems to be tied to a SharePoint issue. If I modify that document locally before sending out, there is no sign-in dialog that pops up.

I have been able to get the file to open if I uncheck "Use Office to sync files faster and work on files with other people at the same time" that is in the OneDrive settings dialog, and was recommended as a solution in the question about Microsoft being overprotective, but I haven't been able to get around the peculiar side effect.

Hello!!

Thanks a lot pal, this did it for me. 

I uncheked "Use Office to sync files faster and work on files with other people at the same time" and now it's opening every file with no problems at all.

My setup is Windows 10 Pro and Office 365 with Onedrive application.

Windows 10 Only

1. Click Settings, and then clear the Use Office to work on files with other people at the same time check box.

No such an option in win 10-Office 2016. That's make me mad! It's impossible to work!!!!

I updated to win 10 an Office 2016 and the issue is back!!!

This time I have no skydrive program to remove :(

I'm quite upset

I've had the exact same issue.

I use Windows 10 Pro x64 and Office 2016 (Office 365 edition).

After replacing my HDD for an SSD and a clean install off Windows and Office 2016 the problem still excist.

It happens with Personal OneDrive documents, but also with share OneDrive documents.

I'm getting the same/similar issue.   When I try to open Word and Excel docs from OneDrive, Word and Excel just keep restarting and never open the files.  There's no error message.
