    Hi,

    I'm not sure whether all users could solve their issues and I know it's way too late of a reply, I found this worked for me as pthe steps that I could see in this thread did not work.

    1. Open one drive tray icon and select settings and unlink all accounts
    2. Open one drive tray icon and select view online.
    3. in the one drive online web page select the folders you need to sync and click on the sync icon.
    4. you will need to sign in on the application so wait for the prompt
    5. you will get a message to select a folder, so just select your existing one that should normally sync and "voila"

    This is the only step that worked for me, after hours after trial and error of course.

    Open the Run command (Win+R) and type the following in (or navigate to it in Windows Explorer:

    %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\Personal\

    Open ClientPolicy.ini

    Find the MaxClientMBTransferredPerDay variable and change its value from 537600 (525GB) to something higher, like 5376000 (5250GB)

    Restart OneDrive

    FYI, if you have a Mac, the file can be found under:

    Users/*username*/Library/Application Support/OneDrive/Settings/Personal/ClientPolicy.ini

    To get to the Library Folder, open a new Finder window, in the menu bar, select "Go". Hold down the Option key and "Library" should magically appear.

    and for future - i am the original poster and this is a key fix for me.  I just installed a Windows update and this file reverted to the original parameter.  I just updated it and hope that that works again.
