OneDrive sync problems

Locally on the PC the SkyDrive icon in the notification area is constantly showing it is updating. Currently two files within a particular folder are appearing with the circular arrows indicating they are updating. Both were save several hours ago with one being 50KB the other is 34KB so not exactly huge.
On the laptop the notification icon is not showing it is updating but a file I have saved (same folder as for the PC) has the circular arrows.
Looking at OneDrive within a browser shows just one file and not three and this is dated 4 days ago. I have checked the settings and both have 'Let me use OneDrive to fetch any of my files on this drive' set and all folders within OneDrive are selected.
Clicking OneDrive icon displays the message 'One Drive is up to date - Last updated 4 minutes ago.'
Since starting to type this post the icon on the PC has stopped showing as updating and shows all three files (although the two saved locally are showing the circurlar arrows) but the laptop only shows the one file saved locally now with a tick. OneDrive in the browser still only shows the single file that was saved on the laptop but updated to just over an hour ago.
Any advice would be appreciated.

If you are seeing this in more than one Browser
The best, solution I found was to uninstall using RevoUninstaller / Reboot PC / Laptop / Run Ccleaner then re-install

OneDrive also has periodic problems for a few hours because they take the servers down for maint so there is less bandwidth available for the millions of people trying to access the service.
if you find a persistant problem with onedrive failing to sync up across platforms your best bet would be to run wire shark and see what the packet streams are doing (speed etc) before fibre it would often take more than 10 minutes for a 2mb file to upload when adding stuff to onedrive

Checked OneDrive in another browser with same results.
I wanted to avoid uninstalling/re-installing but it may be my best option

Make sure to use Revo as without it I found some parts were left behind, which continued to rear the problem(s) back up (even after using Ccleaner)

Dragged the files back into the OD folder on the PC and, so far, files are appearing in the browser and on the laptop.
Edit: It may take some time with my upload speeds of around 0.65MB as there are around 1GB of files!
