OneLake Explorer 1.0.14 does not update Excels

Editing an Excel locally that is on OneLake and sync'd does not sync "upward" to cloud.  I've tried 3 PC's, tried "Install over", "uninstall 13 and install 14", and "Clean install after uninstall and reboot".  Multiple tenants and mulitple machines.  Other fiel types (TXT or CSV) seem to behave as expected and ALMOST instant syncing...

 

Rolled back to 1.0.13 and Excel sync'd as expected.

    You should wait for the private preview of OneLake Explorer. First thing is General availability and then You can install the OneLake Explorer. ( ~ 1 yr timeframe)

     

    There are so many bugs in the Linux System as well. ( fs ls command in OneLake explorer and Delta Lake System)

    Hi bryancampbellbi 

    Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
     

    Regarding the issue with Excel files not syncing properly in OneLake Explorer version 1.0.14, the official release notes mention that this update included improvements for .tmp files created during Excel edits to address sync conflicts from network interruptions. However, it seems that Excel files still sometimes fail to sync to OneLake in certain environments, while other formats like TXT and CSV work as expected. This issue appears to persist despite the recent changes.

    As BhaveshPatel  noted, OneLake Explorer is still in preview, so some inconsistencies are to be expected until general availability. In the meantime, using version 1.0.13 for Excel workflows may be a helpful temporary workaround.
