Outlook Mobile (iOS & iPadOS) Gives a Red Warning Triangle for OneDrive Sync

Hi, @Scott Griffiths

Have you already confirmed that Outlook, iOS, and iPadOS are all fully updated?

I checked Microsoft’s current Outlook Mobile known issues, and there is no listed known issue specifically for the red warning triangle on the OneDrive connection in Outlook: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/support/known-issues/fixes-or-workarounds-for-outlook-mobile-apps

Since OneDrive works normally in the standalone app on both devices, and you have already reset and removed/re-added the connection, this appears to be isolated to Outlook’s OneDrive integration.

If everything is updated, please report it through Outlook directly by tapping your profile picture > ? > Contact Outlook Mobile Support. Microsoft recommends the in-app support option for Outlook iOS app-specific problems:

Also, what Outlook version and iOS/iPadOS versions are currently installed?

Thanks!

It's the current verion, updated 5 days ago, 5.2638.0 (iOS), and iPadOS (5.2638.0).

Hi, @Scott Griffiths

Have you already tried Outlook’s own "Reset Account" option? This is different from removing and re-adding the OneDrive connection.

In Outlook:

• Tap your profile picture > Settings.
• Select your email account.
• Tap "Reset Account."
• Force close Outlook, then reopen it.

If you have already done that, please try this on one device first:

• Make sure Outlook and iOS/iPadOS are fully updated.
• Delete the Outlook app.
• Restart the iPhone or iPad.
• Reinstall Outlook from the App Store.
• Sign back in and then reconnect OneDrive under "Apps" / "Files."

If the red triangle immediately returns after a clean reinstall, what exact message appears when you tap the OneDrive entry or the red triangle?

Thanks!
