Onedrive sync: Could not execute request after multiple attempts

Support

Hi, thanks for the logs,

There might be several reasons, but in worst case you'd need a backup, do you have one?

Reasons

  • some internal OneDrive API is limiting the calls. The service shouldn't do that (unless it's OneDrive for business which is not supported) but if it indeed happen —

Potential solution: you can just wait for a day and try again

  • Max concurrent connections are too high or too low

Potential solution: try changing Tools > Options > Synchronisation > Show advanced settings > Max concurrent connections to 2, try syncing again and if it doesn't work change to 8

  • the database is incomplete :fearful:. Something has tampered with Joplin's files. For example, sync engine of OneDrive might have got confused and deleted or restored a file when it shouldn't have

Potential solution: look in trashcan at sync target, restore any joplin file you find and try syncing again.

  • OneDrive just doesn't work for you for some other reason

Potential solution: Reupload the Joplin data to another cloud provider

  • Change the sync target to any other cloud, fill your credentials
  • Tools > Options > Synchronisation > Show advanced settings > Re-Upload local data to sync target
  • Wait patiently till the process is complete
