Facing Sync Issues with OneDrive – Any Tips? Also, a Quick Microsoft Question

Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm trying to sync a large folder from my local machine to OneDrive for Business using Rclone, but some files keep getting skipped and I get frequent timeout or retry errors. I've tried adjusting bandwidth limits and checking for duplicates, but no luck so far.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.64.0
- os/version: Windows 11 Pro
- os/kernel: 10.0.22621
- os/type: windows
- go/version: go1.21.1

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

OneDrive for Business (Microsoft 365)

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone sync "D:\ProjectFiles" onedrive:Backup/Projects --progress --transfers=4 --checkers=8 --timeout=1m --retries=5

Also, a quick side question: I’m preparing for IT roles and looking at Microsoft certifications, especially related to cloud storage and services like OneDrive or Azure. If anyone here found a certification helpful in understanding how to use Rclone more effectively in enterprise environments, I’d love your input. Thanks!

hi, as mentioned in that other topic of yours,
we cannot help you debug a version of rclone from 2023 that is 13 versions old.

after upgrading to lastest stable and if the issues persist, then please post the redacted config file and a debug log.

as per rclone docs, onedrive does not support duplicates

rclone backend features onedrive | find  "DuplicateFiles"
                "DuplicateFiles": false,
