one drive syncing is too much slow
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.- Same experience like ours. No problem with Dropbox. The only way to get a faster sync on a second computer is, to stop syncing for 2 hours and restart syncing. If you need the files, you did not want to wait 10 to 40 minutes in the same network.
It is interesting, that the files are a long time in the cloud until the other machines are syncing. Are the Microsoft der er too slow or is it a software problem?
We have many TB of space and did only use some GB, as it did not work fast enough.
- Thanks 😞 I guess we are in big problems!
Since our company decided to move 1TB worth of data to SharePoint/OneDrive now we are facing several problems... maybe we should sync everything back to the server.- Are you CRAZY? One Drive was never intended to sync some 1TB of data. You are risking losing significant portions of your data.
Hi Arnaud. If you are looking for better response saving files you should consider mapping a network drive to your files. This works more like a traditional file server - you don't wait on the sync tool to finish syncing your files, with network drive mapping, saved files are available faster.

- I use CloudMounter on my Mac and I don't have any problems. When I dump the files in the One Drive folder it takes forever to upload anything.
