OneDrive for Business file limits
You hit the nail on the head for the issues we have been experiencing. We probably have upwards of 400,000 files. Though not every user is syncing all of them, but at least around 100,000. We have 1GBs bandwidth and the majority of our PC's are newer with SSD's (we have found that we have less sync issues on SSD's then traditional HDD's)
Do you know if the issue is the amount of files the user is syncing to their desktop, so unchecking unnecessary folders under "Choose Folders" in the settings would improve the syncing issues. Or is it just the amount of files in the that are in the sharepoint library, whether or not they are synced?
Nathee021 It's been a month since I requested Microsoft to comment on my findings and nothing has been posted here, no one has reached out to contact me otherwise.
Per your questions, I wouldn't know any of the limits to which you inquire since there is nothing Microsoft has documented with regards to file limitation other than the GB configured for a OD4B account.
If they don't support large numbers of folders/files or syncing large GB's worth of files, then they should state that when you attempt to use the sync capabilities of OD4B. Otherwise, it's supported. That's how I see it.

I believe the suggestion here is not to exceed 100K files
