You can only upload documents onto your onedrive by clicking on the upload button

Hi Guys, We're always uploading folders that contains .lock file type however, upon trying recently, an error is now popping up. I've found out that this is included in invalid file types under onedrive limitations. It is okay to not upload this file types to onedrive however, it seems to be blocking all uploads. - Tried to create a new folder and it did not sync up - Tried to add a new file on a folder that is already syncing, it did not upload. Workaround is ofcourse, go to the path where this invalid files exists and manually exclude them one by one but is this by design? Normally it just wont upload problematic files but not block other files from syncing. Is there any explanation on this? Thank you! HiRaizelX, Thanks for the query. As the error message shows, the file problem is blocking all uploads. We need to tackle the file problem first. I'd like to suggest the below steps. Please check them to see if there is any improvement: 1. Open the OneDrive sync folder, input the problematic file name .lock or lock in the search box in the upper right corner to get all the results. 2. Press Ctrl + A to select all > right click > click on Copy to paste them to a new location (Ctrl + V). 3. Then perform step 1 again to delete all the files. If there is no improvement, could you please click Can't upload files to show more information and share with us a screenshot? Regards, Tina Strange though, one of my colleague here tried to create txt file, changed the file extension to ....

Microsoft forces MS Office files to be treated differently in OneDrive than other file types. I see no benefit to MS Office sync services when saving files to OneDrive (it will be backed up anyway) and it nearly cripples the use of Office, slowing down syncing and complaining when there is no internet (I often work without internet access). I have Office 2016 Pro (Not 365) and I do not login office or wish to use any of the Office Cloud features. I do use OneDrive to sync files across devices so I don't want to remove OneDrive I just want Office and OneDrive to function as two separate applications. Unfortunately Office will not allow you to save an office document to OneDrive and it will throw the Upload Blocked error and wants you to sign in. The only way to save a file to OneDrive is to save it to the desktop first then copy and paste it over to OneDrive which is counter productive. I have unchecked the Office integration checkbox in OneDrive but it doesn't seem like this does anything. The OneDrive folder is located at C:\user...\OneDrive\ so it's not like it's a remote link. My question is how do I disable or bypass the Office/OneDrive sync features or simply allow Offices documents to be saved to OneDrive like any other location on my hard drive? I've been fighting this for a while and got it to work temporarily by rolling back the OneDrive version however the issue has cropped back up. I posted a question on the MS Community Forum a few months back but it was not re...

Click the upward-facing arrow on the far right of the taskbar and look for the OneDrive icon (a pair of white clouds).

Right-click the OneDrive icon again and select Exit. A small pop-up window will appear in the middle of your desktop asking if you’re sure you want to shut down OneDrive. Click Close OneDrive. Just remember that OneDrive is now off and won’t turn on again until you either reboot your PC or manually activate it. Throttle Ian Paul/PCWorld The last option is to limit the upload speed that OneDrive can hit. By default, OneDrive adjusts its upload rate automatically, but when you need bandwidth for other things, manually limiting the upload speed is a good option. Select Limit to and then decide on a rate, which is measured in kilobytes per second. The default limit is 125KBps, but if you’d like it to use even less bandwidth, go for 100KBps or even 20KBps.At the latter rate a 2MB file would take around 90 seconds to two minutes to upload. You can also choose to throttle download speeds, which might be helpful ...
