one drive syncing is too much slow
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.
Lou_Mickley thank you for your reply 😉
it is a slow network speed
my one drive is updating files from my computer
i'm trying to upload 5.6GB of files (237 files); and the uploading is really slow ( 51,6KB/s to 100KB/s) normally if i want to download a 6GB of files i download them at a rate of (1MB/s)
look this image if it can help you ; and thanks for your help
we setup also an application on one drive / sharepoint and it doesnt sync fast enough i dont know what else to do... zackgeek2
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.
- It is fairly shocking how this is still an issue after so many years. A SharePoint/OneDrive locally syncing setup basically cannot function as a file server with users actively collaborating and should not be represented as such.
Unless your business can operate exclusively on the web-based platform, you will likely experience a decrease in productivity from making the switch to SharePoint/OneDrive. Sync times for minuscule file sizes are still in the order of 2-5 minutes, regardless of network activity or internet speeds.
We ran a side-by-side live performance comparison with Dropbox, and it wasn't even close. It's basically always near-instantaneous on Dropbox and minutes on SharePoint/OneDrive. To confirm, this is with under 300K synced files on both platforms (there's actually more on Dropbox than SharePoint/OneDrive in our testing). Clearly something needs to improve with OneDrive.
