"This file has been renamed. We recommend saving it now to get the new name." I X out of this message. Then I get an i in a blue circle and this message "We need you to save the file to finish renaming it. Add-ins and VBA might not work until you save. Save in a white box." I save and then exit. I then reopen the same file an X in a red circle and the message "UPLOAD BLOCKED We ran into a problem with this file and can't save any new changes. Please save a copy to avoid losing your work" with 2 options "Save a Copy" or "Discard Changes". I saved a copy with a different name and then reopen it and it's the same issue.

Near as I can tell - we are. A quick search shows LOTS of this, much of it (like this post) going back years.
But what is MSFT doing about it. I have abandoned OneDrive and am back to creating and saving files on my PC. The ONLY thing I allow on OneDrive is a backup, but I take belts and braces backup to hard drive. I have lost all confidence in MSFT and its ability to manage software.
I don't believe MSFT listen to anything the community raises.
Agreed. I've never had any issues with google drive and use it for anything I can where MS isn't required because of work or clients. I've now moved my One Drive back to thumb drive(s).
I am having the exact issues...so frustrating and I will check back with this thread. My husband is a computer programmer and never has seen such craziness.
Hi Kristine,
I think I may have found a work around. I now pause Onedrive at the start of the day and use the manual "Save As" option as I finish working on each Excel file. When I have finished at the end of the day I then cancel the pause option to synch my updated files. Its seems to be working at the moment. I have tried contacting Microsoft but they just don't seem interested.
