Detect problems with OneDrive, Dropbox and other synced cloud storage?
-
We've recently started using Zoho Workdrive and I think it works about the same as every other cloud storage that can sync folders and files.
I'm wondering what happens if a client for any reason doesn't sync the data to the cloud anymore. Is there a way for admins to detect that, for instance in OneDrive?

On the client side there definitely is, not sure if there is on the server side.

I was thinking server-side. So if you have hundreds of users you could be certain that all of them are actually syncing their data (on a regular basis) and not just working on local files without sync.

Yes, O365 has reporting for that.

The server has to know when user have connected or not.No idea for ZoHo.

Thanks, activity report makes sense! I guess if someone has no activity that could be an indication that something might be wrong.
Zoho Workdrive has that as well. https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/workdrive/admin-console/activity-report/articles/activity-report

The O365 activity is based on file changes. not just "connected"
