Onedrive uploading issues

[blue-eye-boy]

Hi there,

I need some guidance here. I use Onedrive for my laptop data. I have a few files there, and most of all my excel spreadsheet too.

The last few weeks I had a problem where I edit files in excel, click save. Then excel calculates the formulas, and switch to "uploading to onedrive". That takes forever, sometimes after 10 minutes I just close the sheet, and carry on wth something else. Then I get an uploading error, telling me to try upload again. Same story. The all of a sudden it all works fine.

The sheets I edit is quite large, but I just add a few lines every time, so its not as if it is large files I upload all the time. I contacted our WISP just now, so he can check if there is any data sent from my laptop, and what he saw doesn't make sense. He said there is bursts of data, then nothing, then a burst again, and so on. And in the meantime, all I see on my side is "uploading to onedrive".

Where can the problem be, onedrive, or a setting or two on my side?

Thanks in advance.

PS; I use windows 10, excel 2013, with onedrive.

Onedrive is just horrible. Rather use something else. Dropbox is a good alternative.

Why don't you try doing the exact same thing with Dropbox and see what happens. That way you can know if it's a OneDrive issue or a PC/internet issue.

I already ruled out the internet side, as said before, the WISP provider told me that there was only bursts of data, not constant uploading until the sheet was saved.

So then I'll give dropbox a try, see what happens.

Thanks

I think the diffrence is in how it upload, seems OneDrive upload directly from Excel etc., with Dropbox it put in local folder, so program save quickly, and Dropbox sync in the background till done.

@blue-eye-boy please note that the science and success behind any Cloud based storage eg. Dropbox/Onedrive or any other brand name depends on a good internet connection Up Load/Download speed coupled to a fast Latency/Ping time, in spite of all the crap spoken about different brands. Test your WISP Connection speed via your the HTML5 Browser here http://www.bandwidthplace.com/. Hope this info is of value. A typical good connection for cloud work eg. D/L 12,32Mbps U/L 7,56Mbps Latency/Ping:193Ms to UK London Server.

Check to see if you have Office Upload Center installed or perhaps you have disabled it not knowing what it does etc. http://www.howtogeek.com/253587/wha...fice-upload-center-and-should-you-disable-it/

When you save a Microsoft Office file to an online location–for example, when you save a file to Microsoft OneDrive or a SharePoint server–Office doesn’t just save the file directly to that server. Instead, it saves the file to the “Office Document Cache” on your computer. Office then uploads*that cached file to the server and handles*any connection or file conflict problems.
