Cloud-based file won't open on one of my computers

I have a large scrivener document residing on my OneDrive. I’ve been able to access is both from my desktop at home (Windows 11) and my laptop (also Windows 11) while away until just recently. I’m still able to open the file on my laptop, but now the desktop hangs when opening the file. Scrivener won’t even open. I’ve tried opening other files, including the backup and all of these work just fine. Any idea what may be causing the problem with this one file on only this computer?

Hi

You need to make sure the OneDrive content is set to be available offline / cloned locally on the computer that no longer works. Sometimes (to make life more “interesting”) the lovely cloud providers turn it off for you without letting you know.

I can’t tell you how, where, what to tweak as I have long kicked as far as possible OneDrive from my computers. (Can you feel the love?)
