Onedrive Limits Download

I need to download 976 GB of multiple files from Onedrive, cause I have to deliver it in a phisical device.

I set the Onedrive´s client to store all data locally, but it doesn´t happened as expected.

After the first sync, there are still files on the cloud.

When I started the copy, Onedrive starts do download each file slowly making the task too long to complete, more than 30 days!

Any help will be welcome.

    Hi FQueiroga,

    You might want to break up your data in smaller batches and download from OneDrive.com. You can create zip files by selecting multiple files and folders. This also gives you the benefit of compression.

      Hi Mathieu, 

       

      I solved this issue using Linux Ubuntu with Onedrive packet. Much faster than using Windows with Onedrive client.

       

      Thanks,

    Have you considered synching OneDrive locally? Then just copy/paste.
