Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume OneDrive Is Down
- 1
Check OneDrive sync status
Look at the OneDrive icon in your system tray to see if sync is paused, pending, or experiencing errors.
- 2
Restart OneDrive client
Close and restart the OneDrive desktop application to clear transient sync issues and refresh the connection.
- 3
Verify internet and firewall settings
Ensure OneDrive URLs (onedrive.live.com, graph.microsoft.com) aren't blocked by firewall or network restrictions.
- 4
Try the web interface
Access onedrive.live.com directly in a browser to verify whether the issue is client-specific or platform-wide.
- 5
Check storage quota
Verify you haven't exceeded your storage limit, which can prevent uploads and sync operations.
