STATUS_CLOUD_FILE_SYNC_ROOT_METADATA_CORRUPT
A Cloud Files sync root is a registered directory tree with provider identity, policies, and local platform state. This code points to that local registration state rather than proving that the remote service or the contents of every placeholder are damaged.
Do not immediately delete the sync root or recreate it under the same path. First identify the registered root, the provider instance that owns it, and whether a prior install, profile migration, or interrupted update changed the local registration. A provider-specific repair path should preserve the mapping between its remote account and the existing local tree.
Useful checks
- Record the sync-root path, provider identity, and exact operation before changing registration.
- Check for incomplete provider installation or update activity before interpreting this as a file-content error.
- Use the provider's repair or reconnect workflow; do not try to edit Cloud Files metadata or reparse data directly.
Relevant documentation
- CfRegisterSyncRoot defines the registered tree, provider identity, and policies.
- Build a Cloud Sync Engine distinguishes the platform's placeholder layer from the provider's own sync engine.
