Frequently Asked Questions

What should I verify before I check by going to Settings > Network & Internet > VPN or looking for a?

check by going to Settings > Network & Internet > VPN or looking for a VPN app running in the background. Open OneDrive on the web. If the cloud files are correct, focus on the sync client, account selection, local folder, and device permissions.

What final check proves I was able to fix OneDrive app not recogonizing the internet connection code 260?
