Hi Lynn,

I notice the phrase "onedrive" in the data source path.

Could it be that the sync-options of your OneDrive don't really sync the data, but just do a sync on-demand? (in which case the shapefile-file (.shp, .shx etc) are just a placeholder for the real files, that are somewhere up in the OneDrive-cloud.

In Windows explorer, you can tell this by an icon behind the filename:
- blue cloud icon: not locally available, just in the cloud
- green checkmark: available on your device ('offline")


Kind regards,

Gert-Jan

I recently purchased a new PC laptop and restored my QGIS projects and files that I created with a previous version.


The new QGIS will not add the existing shapefiles and returns this error message: Invalid Data Source: C:\Users\lynna\OneDrive\Desktop\SPATIAL BASEMAP\DAKOTA\DakotaCity\AppleValley\AppleValley.shp is not a valid or recognized data source. All of the other shapefile components are present.


Can anyone advise me what to do next?


Thank you.
