Cause

  • The OneDrive application may not be running.
  • You may be trying to import a very large document, a large number of documents, or multiple users may be syncing using the same shared OneDrive.
  • Your Microsoft 365 password may have recently changed.

Note: There is a file size limit of 500 MB for files imported via the FYI - My Imports folder.

Solution

OneDrive is managed by Microsoft. Issues importing documents are typically related to the OneDrive application running on your computer. Try the following.

Check that OneDrive is running
  1. From your taskbar, check to see if OneDrive is open and running. The cloud icon should be displayed.

  2. Click Help & Settings and select Close OneDrive.
  3. Reopen OneDrive by searching for OneDrive in the Windows search.
  4. Select and open the OneDrive app.
Check if OneDrive is continuously syncing

Check whether OneDrive is continuously syncing and confirm that it is up to date.

Refer to How to check if the OneDrive is permanently or often syncing.

Reduce the size of the documents

If a document exceeds the 500 MB file size limit, reduce the size of the document before importing.

You can reduce the file size by adjusting the content or by compressing the file using Windows.

Refer to the Microsoft article Zip and unzip files.
