OneDrive is soooooooooooooooooooooo slow!
Why is OneDrive for Business so unacceptably slow? I've had a case open with Microsoft Support since February and to date they have involved several different teams, run numerous diagnostics and test...

It's most likely done on purpose by Microsoft to prevent existing customers from switching to other means of storage. This means one who solely relies on OneDrive couldn't just buy a hard drive and stop their subscription without having to go through this tedious process of downloading all your files onto your already storage-limited device, let alone at a painfully slow speed. Hence most would not be bothered and would just continue using OneDrive.

That makes absolutely zero sense. Making storage slow encourages people not to use it.
