The Desktop and the Documents folder (C:\Users\[UserName]\Documents\) are synchronized by default with OneDrive. Some of the system files of Trados Studio are saved in the Documents folder by default (under C:\Users\[UserName]\Documents\Studio 20xx), and many users also save their projects in one of these locations.

What problems may occur in Trados Studio, if there are synchronization issues?

Many customers are using OneDrive without any issues. But errors may occur due to this workflow, when resources in use in Trados Studio are synchronized with OneDrive. Possible issues include:

- Data corruption (corruption of translation memories, termbases or .sdlxliff files)
- Deletion of the list of projects (due to the corruption of the "projects.xml" system file)
- Retrieving matches from the translation memory or termbase not working as expected

If possible, synchronization should be paused while Trados Studio is in use, or all Studio-related information should be saved in a location not synchronized with OneDrive. Or OneDrive can be disabled altogether. For further information, please see: Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive.
