Problem
You have M$ OneDrive and it is supposed to synch with a local folder.
- The tray icon keeps telling, there is no connection.
- Neither does it show any context menu, clicking on it.
- Exploring the folder at some point (not time but location) the exploder crashes. Maybe it does not actually crash, but it tries to sync and does not get a connection timeout. Either way, the system gets rather unusable.
Solution
Well, it is not guaranteed to work, but in my case there was a problem with the file system. As administrator execute
chkdsk /f
Having done so, you need to restart your computer. It will initiate a file system check.
In the likely event this does not help or you just do not want to try it: There is kind of a work around to the crashes (not the lack of synching). Do not use Windoof Exploder and no file manager based on its principles/API/whatsover. Which ones there are I cannot really tell. I know that Q-Dir and FileVoyager behave the same way as the Exploder. On the other hand, file opening dialogs of jEdit (Java application) works as well as FreeCommander XE, TreeSize and 7zip. This holds true for their PortableApps version as of time of writing. I suppose, they do not use the same calls as Exploder.
