    OneDrive has been off a long time.
    I don't have any other back ups running.
    These are my files I took off of my usb stick so I could re-use it.
    Always Show Availability Status is unchecked in file explorer properties.

    Hmm? Do they both use the same icon? OneDrive has been removed long ago with Add/Remove Programs and hasn't come back, and I don't have google drive on my PC....at least as far as I know. I'll check when I get home. Thanks.

    I do have google drive on my iphone, where I only use the safari browser.
    I do not have it on my PC.
    I went to drive.google and it says no computers are syncing.
    I saw a similar issue someone else was having and they said it was google backup & sync on their pc. I don't have that on my pc.

    I would agree, Sync.com is the closest match I could find as well.
