Constant need to "validate and repair" before successful cloud sync

For some time now, the cloud sync on exit fails and then I have to do a "validate and repair" file operation. Seems like every 2-3 sessions... What is going on and is this a known problem?

If you allow other processes to access the data file while the data file being used by Quicken, you are risking unrepairable data file corruption. If you insist on maintaining the data file in a OneDrive folder, I suggest you review: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/how-to-pause-and-resume-sync-in-onedrive-2152bfa4-a2a5-4d3a-ace8-92912fb4421eMike Moser said:Hi - I use Quicken for Windows (US)

I have this file on the Onedrive folder, but it's in the local file system...
