Een Microsoft-bestandshosting- en synchronisatiedienst.
Hi Jose Baars,
I understand how frustrating it can be when OneDrive fails to sign in and stops syncing, especially when you've already tried multiple solutions. Let's walk through some possible causes and steps that might help resolve the issue.
Possible Causes:
Account Authentication Conflict
If your Microsoft account is still linked to an outdated Gmail address, it may be causing sign-in issues or sync failures.
Device Account Management Issue
The error message suggests a problem with how your phone handles Microsoft accounts.
App Permissions or Background Sync Restrictions
Android or iOS may be limiting OneDrive’s ability to sync in the background.
Recommended Steps
1. Check Microsoft Account Settings
Visit https://account.microsoft.com and verify:
- Your primary alias (email address used to sign in)
- Remove or update the outdated Gmail if it's still listed
- Add a new email alias if needed
2. Re-add Microsoft Account to Your Phone
- On Android:
Go to Settings > Accounts > Add account > Microsoft, then sign in with your current Microsoft account. - On iPhone:
Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account > Outlook.
3. Check App Permissions
Ensure OneDrive has access to:
- Photos/Media
- Background data
- Battery optimization settings (disable restrictions)
4. Try Signing In via Outlook App
Sometimes signing in via the Outlook app first helps authenticate your Microsoft account properly across apps.
5. Use OneDrive Web App Temporarily
Since you can access OneDrive online, you can manually upload photos until the mobile sync issue is resolved.
I hope these steps help you get OneDrive working again. If the issue persists, feel free to reach out with more details—I'd be happy to assist further.
Warm regards,
Jeric
