zackgeek2 What type of slowness are you seeing?  Slow network speed, or OneDrive sync client just sitting and showing "Looking for changes"?  If looking for changes, it's often you are trying to sync too many files.  Try to keep it under 300K files total (across all sources).  How many files do you have?  It is OneDrive files or SharePoint doc lib being synced?  Are you running the latest sync client? Give me more info.

    I have the same issue. The OneDrive window always shows and changes the number of changes being in progress, but the upper 4-5 files in the window remain "0 Uploaded" and the file of 22Mb only in size I need to be upload more then 2 hours ago is still in "Sync pending" status.

    How can I see these processes? and why does it take so long?

    I have FTTH, for reference.

    Thanks for assistance

        jsanchez1 Our company moved form dropbox to onedrive and since then it has been a real hassle to work with.

         

        For any little file we add to the local onedrive, the sync take forever. Have to wait at least 5min to get a link for one picture, I'm not even speaking about sync a big amount of files. This is so time consuming and ruins all productivity.

         

        At that point I don't even understand how a company would chose onedrive over concurrent services.
