Have you got a project with the same name already?  What happens if you create a cloud project with a completely new name?

Hi Paul,

I had a project stored locally with same name, but this is now deleted because of the problems I had with OneDrive.

I also made trials where I gave the cloud project a slightly different name, but I still got the same error message.

On another note I see the OneDrive re-installed itself although I uninstalled it earlier. Is there any possibility to change the location of SDL and Studio 2021 folder? I understand they go to the Documents folder automatically when installing. I would rather have them in another separate folder if possible.

Perhaps... given these problems, you should simply delete the projects.xml file here:

c:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\Studio 2021\Projects\projects.xml

This will remove all references to any projects in Studio and you'll have a clean sheet.  Then add back in any projects you want to keep one at a time, and recreate whatever you need in the cloud.  It won't delete your projects, it will only unload them from the Studio interface.

The installation no.  But you can save your projects wherever you like.  That's best controlled through the use of project templates as you can specify the location for projects in the template itself.  This also means you can control multiple locations for your projects if you like.

On the use of One Drive for your projects.  I would not recommend this.  One Drive is completely unreliable as an application anyway (in my own frustrated experience... others may like it), and it's risky to work with a location that only works as efficiently as an internet connection.  It can be responsible for corrupt TMs and Trados Studio projects.

I just followed the instructions and tried again to create a cloud project with a slight different name to the local project I used to have.

Unfortunately I still get the same error message.

Ok. You have misread the error message. It refers to multiple files with the same name, not multiple projects. Try checking through your files and make sure you are not adding more than one with the same name.

Ohhh Lord, so sorry for this.

Still same problem though. I am only adding one file into this project, it is a book in .pdf format.

If you have any suggestions on what I need to do to make it work I would be grateful.

Since I am only uploading one file to the cloud project I should not be getting this error message, right?
