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 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?

Regards

30 million is the actual limit, recommended as 300,000 for optimum performance for a single OneDrive or Team Site Library.

Best, Chris

ChrisHoardMVP Thanks for that.
We are facing the issue that OD takes up to 10 minutes to be ready...

  Hi m_krone
  
  Not a problem.
  
  Is that all users? Is it when you first start your machines? Can you let us know more about the issue?
  
  Best, Chris

    It is happening for all users and every time OneDrive starts.
    Also with Fiddler we can see there is a normal call to SPO for logging in and have the personal OneDrive ready. After that the SPO document libraries are called and than nothing happens for minutes.
    Afte rlike 10 minutes the user ca use all items on the SPO document libraries.
    If a user tries to access a file which was not downloaded before (Files on Demand enabled) we are getting the message "Please make sure that <name of SPO doucment library> is running.
