A small fix release: no more false "stopped syncing" alarms on freshly set-up PCs. Thanks to the Reddit user who reported it with a precise diagnosis.

Fixed

  • Personal OneDrive folders are no longer reported. A new PC signed in to a work account always has an empty, unused OneDrive placeholder folder next to OneDrive - <Org>. Versions 0.7.0 and 0.8.0 flagged it as "A SharePoint library has stopped syncing" right after install. Personal folders (OneDrive, OneDrive - Something) are now never reported, and never scanned as organisation folders.
  • Clearer alert heading. When the list includes a leftover organisation folder, the heading says "OneDrive folder(s) have stopped syncing" instead of "SharePoint library".

Library folders that OneDrive has dropped and leftover organisation folders are still detected exactly as before.

If you turned OrphanCheckEnabled off as a workaround, you can turn it back on after upgrading.

Upgrading

Run OneDriveHelper.exe install from the new zip, or re-run the RMM install script on the project page, which is updated for this release. Your settings carry over.
