[Solved] What does Sync Pending in OneDrive mean?

[pghzoolady]

I am using OneDrive. I noticed that when I download something to my word or excel in OpenOffice, some of the status icons are a check mark inside a circle and a few others are 2 arrows forming a circle that say Sync Pending.. Can anyone tell me what Sync Pending means and how do I get what I have saved to Sync? I can't transfer anything that has a Sync Pending to a disc.

Thank you

Are you using OneDrive?

I was informed privately that OneDrive was being used.

The message is from OneDrive and the problem should be posed on a OneDrive Forum, or may be solved by consulting OneDrive documentation.

There are issues with the "sync pending" message, check the web for that.
If you wait some time, are they still stuck? It may be a mere issue with reaching the server.

What it means is ...

• you have a locally stored version of a file and one version of the same in cloud storage,
• the two versions are not synchronized
• Synchonizing is scheduled or under way

You may have enabled a setting to avoid automatic sync when using a metered connection. In that case, schedule is "when connected to unconstrained network". Also, files above a certain size (4GB I believe) will not be synced automatically. Click the OneDrive icon (blue cloud) in the system tray (left of the clock on most systems). You get a list of recent sync operations and the status of current operations. This can tell you more about the file(s) in question.
