I welcome your thoughts, questions or suggestions on my article on how to reset Microsoft OneDrive so that the Preparing to download notice goes away. Note, it may take several minutes to hours for the OneDrive synchronization to complete since it is starting all over. You should get a “ We’re resetting” notification within the OneDrive app.
Finally, restart OneDrive by going to Start, type OneDrive, and click to open the OneDrive desktop app. OneDrive should automatically close shortly after the above command executes successfully. 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset. If you again see a “ Windows cannot find…” message, copy and paste this instead. C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset. If you see a “ Windows cannot find…” message, copy and paste this instead. %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset. Copy the command below and paste it into the run dialog window, press OK. If OneDrive is still not correctly syncing, open the Run dialog box again. It is now recommended to restart OneDrive, but in my experience the issue will persist. You may close the Microsoft Store window after it appears. The Microsoft Store window will also automatically appear after the command prompt closes. A Command Prompt window will open and automatically close after a few seconds. Begin by resetting the Microsoft Store app by pressing the Windows key and R to open the Run dialog box, enter wsreset.exe, then select OK. Also, if you had chosen to sync only some folders before the reset, you will need to do that again once sync has completed. Note, resetting OneDrive disconnects all your existing connections ( including personal OneDrive and OneDrive for work or school). After the reset, OneDrive will perform a full sync. Resetting Microsoft OneDrive can sometimes resolve sync issues and will reset all OneDrive settings. This article covers how to reset OneDrive. The solution that worked for me was to simply reset the OneDrive application. 
OneDrive was apparently working, but this perpetually confused state of OneDrive did not give me confidence that something wouldn’t eventually go odd on me. Recently had a business client’s OneDrive application get stuck in the “Preparing to download” phase.
