I just finished using the new OneDrive Sync client to upload 75Gb (80,000 files) of network data to two different SharePoint Online team sites. Worked like a charm, and was done in 24 hours!! Here are some things I learned:

*Don't pause the OneDrive sync. It wouldn't unpause correctly and got stuck on processing

*Give the sync client time. It may look like it's doing nothing for 10 minutes, but will start uploading again afterwards

*Sync issues show up in a window, and if you click on the issue it will take you directly to the offending file / folder. Once I corrected the issue, the OneDrive client would sync up the fixed file

*SharePoint has made peace with the ampersand (&) but still really doesn't like the pound sign (#)

Happy syncing!
