Extract text from OneDrive log files (ODLSENT)
To convert ODLSENT logs to another format, you need Microsoft OneDrive or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "Diagnostic Log" file type, you need software like Microsoft OneDrive or a similar tool.
An .ODLSENT file is a diagnostic log generated by Microsoft OneDrive. These files are essentially ODL (OneDrive Log) files that have been successfully "sent" (uploaded) to Microsoft's servers for telemetry and debugging purposes. Users typically encounter these files when investigating disk space usage, as they can accumulate in the %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\logs directory - sometimes consuming gigabytes of space.
A major limitation is that .ODLSENT files are binary-encoded and obfuscated to protect user privacy (masking filenames and paths). Unlike standard server logs, you cannot simply open them in Notepad++ or Microsoft Word; doing so displays unreadable characters and "gibberish."
For most users, the best "conversion" is actually deletion to reclaim storage space. For forensic analysts or IT professionals needing to read the content, the file must be parsed and de-obfuscated into a readable TXT or CSV format using specialized forensic scripts (often Python-based), as no standard commercial converter handles this proprietary format.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ODLSENT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ODLSENT converter.
