Can't open any .osm file

This morning I am unable to open any .osm file with either OpenStudio or with SketchUp through the plugin.

With SketchUp I get the message: 'Failed to load file at C:/Users/...[filepath].' With OpenStudio I get the message: 'Failed to open file at C:/Users/...[filepath].'

This is true for any .osm I've created, as well as new test files I created this morning. I'm not sure what could have happened between last night and this morning, but I'm dead in the water. I'd appreciate any help you can provide.

Updated 4/13/18, 9:30AM: I found a partial answer to this problem - I have my 'Documents' and 'Desktop' inside my OneDrive folder so that they can be backed up. I found that if I move the .osm files outside the OneDrive folder, then they can be opened. Hopefully someone can figure out why, as of this morning, they can no longer be opened from inside the OneDrive folder.
