OneDrive Application keeps processing large number of files even if it is not syncing

You're encountering performance issues with the OneDrive application due to the large number of files (approximately 320,000) you're attempting to sync. This exceeds the recommended limit for optimal performance.

Microsoft recommends syncing fewer than 300,000 files across all document libraries. Exceeding this limit can lead to prolonged sync times, high CPU and memory usage, and potential application instability.

Syncing a large number of files can cause the OneDrive application to consume significant CPU and memory resources, leading to decreased system performance.

Proposed Solutions:

 1. Reduce the Number of Synced Files:

• Selective Sync: Utilize OneDrive's selective sync feature to choose only the most essential folders for synchronization. This can significantly reduce the number of files the application needs to process.
• Archive Infrequently Accessed Data: Consider moving less frequently accessed files to an archive that isn't synced with OneDrive, thereby reducing the active file count.

2. Utilize OneDrive's "Files On-Demand" Feature:

• Enable Files On-Demand: This feature allows you to see all your files in File Explorer without downloading them. Files are downloaded only when accessed, which can help manage local storage and reduce sync load.

3. Access Files Directly Through SharePoint Online:

• Web Access: For large libraries, accessing files directly through the SharePoint Online web interface can be more efficient. This approach eliminates the need for local synchronization and reduces system resource usage.
