Premiere keeps crashing with one of my projects and id like to clear the cache in order to rule that out however all of my projects are synched to one drive for work and in order to clear the cache premiere automatically starts downloading the associated terrabytes of footage in order to clear it. 

Are there any work around for this? I dont even have enought storage to pull down all the files. Any help is greatly appreciated. If i can provide any aditional information please let me know

OneDrive, WeTransfer, and Dropbox type file transport/sync apps all have things they do that make video post production work using them frustrating to near impossible. "We" users can't get around that. 

 

LucidLInk gives far better transfer speeds, allows for working totally remote with nothing on a physical local drive, with the OS and Premiere seeing a 'virtual' drive for all files accessed via LucidLink. It was designed to work with video post files and applications, and is not at all the same as any other service I know of.

 

It works. And yes, we tried all the above ones and found them ... totally unusable.

 

Some users do get by with the file syncing apps, but ... that often requires a careful setup of the syncing process and user manually moving files into the syncing folders. Not working with files there.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Best is not to edit from OneDrive. Grand for backup but not for editing.

Get yourself an external drive.
