arma 3 "The cloud file provider is not running."

[viscos_3z 2]

My mate has had an ongoing issue for over a year with "The cloud file provider is not running." showing up on his screen whenever he tries to launch his game from the launcher, he has no mods and had the same issue with DayZ. He has OneDrive disabled which seems to be the problem for most by looking at the steam community and reddit although hes only disabled it recently after finding out it was an issue (and unneeded) 😂.  We've seen some replies saying that its much easier just to reset your pc than to delete OneDrive entirely and obviously we'd rather not have to do this. Any help is good, just really want to get into the game!

Do you know of a way to do this without using another drive as I only have one and am on a laptop

You are supposed to disable/uninstall one drive. Try this link:

You haven't downloaded anything, OneDrive is part of Windows.

 

Uninstall OneDrive

You won't lose files or data by uninstalling OneDrive from your computer. You can always access your files by signing in to OneDrive.com.

• Windows 10/11

1. Select the Start button, type Programs in the search box, and then select Add or remove programs in the list of results.
2. Open installed apps
3. Under Apps & features, find and select Microsoft OneDrive, and then select Uninstall. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
