Microsoft OneDrive outages and problems
In the past 24 hours, 30 user reports came in for Microsoft OneDrive. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.
The busiest 15-minute window had 3 reports, about 23 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix Microsoft OneDrive not working
Microsoft OneDrive is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach onedrive.live.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check the OneDrive cloud icon
Look near the clock in the notification area. A slash or red X on the icon means sync has paused or hit a problem. Click the icon and choose Resume syncing when that option shows.
Restart OneDrive
Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager. Find Microsoft OneDrive under Processes and select End task. Open the app from the Start menu and sign in if it asks.
Reconnect your OneDrive account
Click the OneDrive cloud icon, then open Help & Settings > Settings > Account. If you signed in with the wrong account, select Unlink this PC. Link the correct account and let sync start again.
Reset OneDrive
Press Windows key + R and run %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset in the Run box. Wait for the reset to finish. Open the app from the Start menu; sign in if it asks.
While Microsoft OneDrive is down: what to use instead
- Files already on your device Anything you marked as 'Always keep on this device' still opens from File Explorer or Finder while the cloud side is out, and your edits upload once syncing starts again.
- OneDrive in a browser If the sync app is stuck, the web version may still load.
- Email attachment Attach the file to an email when a share link won't open for the person you sent it to.
- Google Drive or Dropbox Upload a copy there if someone needs the file soon, but move it back afterwards so you don't end up editing two versions.
Fix Microsoft OneDrive on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone
Microsoft OneDrive on Windows
- Fix
- Restart the Microsoft OneDrive app from the system tray, or reset the sync client using the Run dialog if files aren't syncing. You can also check for pending Windows Updates that might affect integration.

Microsoft OneDrive on iPhone and iPad
- Fix
- Update the Microsoft OneDrive app via the App Store, or reinstall it if it keeps crashing. Ensure that cellular data permissions are enabled for OneDrive in your iOS settings.
- Check
- Check if the Microsoft OneDrive app displays connection errors when loading your files, or try logging in through Safari to verify if the server is responding.
Problems at the same time as Microsoft OneDrive
Since 6 October, all 3 of Microsoft OneDrive's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Microsoft OneDrive goes down
Microsoft OneDrive keeps your files in the cloud and syncs them across Windows, Mac, phones, and the web. Students and remote workers depend on it for assignments and shared folders, so an outage interrupts sync and access to files you did not save on your device.
When OneDrive has trouble, sync usually stalls first: the tray icon spins while files sit on 'Processing changes', and edits from one device do not appear on another. Uploads fail next. On the web or mobile app, an upload may stop with a generic error, and shared links can open for you while returning 'File not found' or 'Access denied' for someone else. Problems are often partial or regional, so a desktop client on Windows might sync fine while the iOS app cannot sign in, or one area loses access because a routing or authentication service is down; the status at the top of this page reflects user problem reports counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, so a local spike can appear even when the service works for most people.

How we track Microsoft OneDrive
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Microsoft OneDrive, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Microsoft OneDrive, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Microsoft OneDrive's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
