error 376

I get the same error after latest windows update

icloud installed on win 10 (latest update) , at start of it there is an error (unable to create directory for icloud photos . restarting your computer might be resolve the issue error 376)

updated outlook..icloud but still the same

How on earth is this issue "solved" when all of the answers in the thread all say the problem is still persisting.

The issue isn't solved and Apple and Microsoft need to get their poop in a group and get this annoying issue actually solved and not just closing the report because someone doesn't appear to want to do their job.

Ok I have a solution that was causing this for me.

The culprit: OneDrive.

In the photo settings the second checkbox about sharing photos has a folder location. This happened to be (for me) a OneDrive folder that didn't exist. As OneDrive is pretty crap in general I decided to remove it completely in favour of other cloud drives.

You could also just choose a different location that is actually on your PC for the photo sharing folder.

Actually, I found a different way to sort this issue. I'm running windows 10 and kept getting the error 376 directory error message. Weeks I've tried to find a solution.

I deleted the icloud App for windows 10 that I had downloaded from the windows shop.

I uploaded the original and genuine Icloud app from the Apple site for Windows 7 and 8. Ignore the option to download it from the Windows site.

( On Windows 7 and Windows 8, you can download iCloud for Windows on Apple's website. )

I got a download error warning from windows about the download, and I ignored it and downloaded it anyway. Then in the app - I unchecked the box within the photo options that says Icloud photo sharing - because it doesn't work with Onedrive. Hey presto!! I'm back up and syncing from my Iphone to my pc. I hope this may help others.

for unable to create directory for icloud photos error 376

delete the icloud app

and the open icloud download for pc in any browser

then click on apples this site

Download iCloud for Windows - Apple Support

and download icloud not from microsoft store but from apple site by clicking on download iCloud for Windows on Apple's website. 

for chrome right click on it and open in a new tab this will start your download and the just run it

Your post is not helpful and it does not fix this issue. There is another solution already given in this thread (to just download iCloud app from Apple site for Windows 7 or 8) which only means the iCloud app for Windows 10 is bugged so please fix it !!!

I was also having the same issue.

below in this comment i read one guy saying culprit is One Drive.

Actually he is correct, when i delete my one drive my icloud photos are working perfectly.

I dont know how but it wroks.

I see that the reply that he marked as "Solved" does not solve the issue (see screenshot below), and no one has replied to your post verifying that that fix actually worked for them nor did anyone even mark it as useful so, I don't think it's exactly clear that that is the solution...

I attempted to uninstall OneDrive (not my first choice) as another post suggested and that did NOT fix this problem. After rebooting the PC again, I unfortunately continue to get this error shortly after startup--with OneDrive uninstalled.

I restarted several times and the problem persists. Error87

Nothing there helps the error that it can't create directory for icloud photos

I have the same error and restart does not fix.
