OneDrive client file sharing limitations

I want to start using OneDrive to share files and folders with my colleagues however I found an article that suggested that there were limitations in terms of file size and the total number of files ...

Hi infologicit

OneDrive for Business File Size limit is 15Gb

https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/invalid-file-names-and-file-types-in-onedrive-onedrive-for-business-and-sharepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa?ui=en-US&rs=en-GB&ad=GB

OneDrive for Business File Size limit is 15Gb

Recommend syncing no more than 300,000 files across all document libraries although 30 million can be synced.

AFAIK today there is no limit on the number of files which can be shared. This is also confirmed in this article

Hope that answers your question

Best, Chris

Hi ChrisHoardMVP 

 

i cannot find a description for a limitation of how many items can be synced in 1 document library in SPO. Only a hint for Groove.exe with 20,000 but no for NGSC.

Do you have any?
