one drive syncing is too much slow
Mike Williams Bandwidth is very important but I think that what many people don't think about is how quickly the bandwidth can be used up if many people are syncing many files. A 500 MB file may not seem large but if it changes and 10 people are syncing that file it becomes 5 GB of data through your internet and local network. Multiply that by dozens of files and you start wondering where all your bandwidth has gone.
I suspect that many people have problems with OneDrive because of the way they are trying to use it. They seem to think that if syncing a few files is good then syncing all files must be better. Besides the wasted bandwidth and inevitable glitches from trying to have everyone sync everything, it is a huge security risk having many copies of important files on many different computers in various locations.
Back in the old days when we had all our files on local fileservers we would never have considered keeping a local copy of all files on each computer and IT would have put a halt to that pretty quickly. Now that we have syncing tools many people think they should be syncing everything.
John Twohig I use 2.500 MBit only for my Computer. I have Not many Files and sync ist very slow changing or creating a single File with some KByte.
Your Idea ist completely wrong. It is a Onedrive problem.
- If you have Antivirus or other similar client services running then that can have an ENORMOUS effect on your sync speed.
- No Change with disabled AV
Not really surprising. If the AV was causing a significant slowdown in performance I think that would indicate that the computer was severely underpowered. The last thing someone would want to do is to disable antivirus in synced locations. That would be the quickest way to spread a virus through the company.
