69099-capture.jpgHi,

I try to copy and paste from my desktop to white cloud OD and it says I need more space (ie 32.6g) but I have near 1tb worth of space left, considering I'm only trying to move 160g. Please see photo.

I just upgraded. Although I have successfully moved over (dragged) 9gigs worth. Have also just erased that.

I've tried:
logging out then in
Removing and replacing files
I can manually drop smaller files (but have not tried to manually drop every single small file)

Been trying to trouble shoot this for a couple of hours now.

TIA

    I had this problem where it was still saying I needed to upgrade and showing red cross.

    I followed the help article to Unlink onedrive and Re-link onedrive to computer.

    After unlinking and re;linking my account it is now syncing again and no more red crosses.

    I had the same problem as well.

    The problem is that there is no enough space in your C drive to sync the file you want to save.

    Solution is to log on the web portal OneDrive and upload the file.

    Total bullshit scam. I have plenty of free space. Just dropping all this horseshit and copying all my files to my 16 terabyte NAS. What a joke of an operation.

    Same Issue. Obviously MS only wants your money because they have no one monitoring their own forums to assist.

    Yea it would help if this problem is fixed. I'm not spending money per month on something that doesn't even work half the time. :p. Plus this problem sabotaged my work files that I had been working on for years.
