STATUS_CLOUD_FILE_CONNECTED_PROVIDER_ONLY

By default, placeholder-management operations in an active sync root belong to the connected sync provider. This prevents an unrelated local process from changing placeholder identity, hydration state, or other provider-owned data while callbacks are being serviced.

The status therefore identifies the caller and lifecycle state, not a broken cloud object. A helper process must either act through the provider's own service boundary or rely on an explicitly registered placeholder-management policy that permits the relevant operation.

Useful checks

  • Confirm that the calling process is using the connection established for this exact sync root.
  • Inspect the root's placeholder-management policy before introducing a separate utility or shell extension.
  • Do not pass opaque connection or transfer keys between unrelated roots or provider instances.
