one drive syncing is too much slow
i have a good connection but still the syncing is very slow 😞 (25KB i have searched for issues but nothing is helpful any help please
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.
