I look forward to hearing from you to get the results of the troubleshooting.

Thank you Pete, so some program is randomly generating those files causing this issue. We need to stop that to fix the issue.

Do you have the path to the files that it is syncing?

If you click the folder name, it should lead you to that path.

Hi,

last time I reinstalled/synced it couldn't dowload all files without turning on "on demand" I didn't want to but I did... .But now I cannot access files... because they are not on my computer... shocker.
