Hi Thomas Faust 

What version of Studio are you running?

You maybe able to get a clue by looking through the log files: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17\logs which is for Trados Studio 2022.

That said many people do manage to work with OneDrive alongside Studio despite we say its untested and not supported.
This article may be of help: https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0024974

That said what exactly are you opening via OneDrive, source files or actual Projects? If its actual projects your databases maybe the cause. See this article https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0032954 where we explain in more detail the complexity of databases that are not stored locally.

I hope these links help you troubleshoot further. Let me know how you get on and in the meantime, have a good day

Hi Lydia,

Thank you very much for your swift reply.

I am running Trados Studio 2017.

Yes, indeed, my colleagues do not have this issue and interestingly enough it happens more often on my tower pc and only seldom on my laptop.

I open actual projects (double click on the project file). I will check the links and get back to you with an update.

Thanks again and have a good day as well

Thomas

Hi Lyds,

I have read both articles and tried the solutions proposed there, without success.

What do you mean with this "You maybe able to get a clue by looking through the log files: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17\logs which is for Trados Studio 2022."? What kind of clue may I find there?

Do you have any other ideas on what I could do?

Wishing you a great weekend ahead.

Best regards,

Thomas

Yes... don't use OneDrive folders for your projects!  More seriously OneDrive is a cloud-based file storage service provided by Microsoft that allows users to store and sync files across different devices.  However, using OneDrive for software that updates files regularly can sometimes be problematic due to several reasons:

1. Synchronization issues: OneDrive uses a synchronization mechanism to keep files up to date across all devices. However, this mechanism can sometimes fail to work properly, leading to synchronization issues where different versions of the same file exist on different devices.

2. File conflicts: When multiple users or devices are accessing the same file on OneDrive, conflicts can occur when two users try to update the same file simultaneously. OneDrive may not be able to resolve these conflicts automatically, leading to data loss or corruption.

3. Performance issues: OneDrive may slow down when syncing large files or folders, causing the software to take longer to update files.

4. Internet connectivity: OneDrive requires an internet connection to access and sync files, which may not be available in all situations. This can be a problem if you need to access files offline or in areas with poor internet connectivity.

If you are having problems I suggest you test Studio outside of your OneDrive folders and if the problem goes away then you need to take a good hard look at OneDrive as this may be causing problems that a solution like Trados Studio is not designed to try and overcome.  Trados Studio has its own cloud solution if you really need the benefits of sharing, although not for 2017 as this is too old.
