Slow OneDrive Upload Speed

Do you guys remember the Microsoft demo where they showed how much faster the OneDrive upload was compared to other cloud storage providers. Apparently this is no longer the case. I have had users re...

OneDrive for Business

I have resisted so long moving from Microsoft to Apple.

This past few months running Office 365 Business Premium has finally convinced me.

Only too often.... I try to simply move 5 or 6 files (no larger than 1 GB) from one folder to another on my super fast desktop... and it hangs... and hangs.. up to 5 minutes at times.

I am starting to investigate prices for a good fast Apple machine as OneDrive for Business is a joke... and no obvious efforts by Microsoft to fix this.

I am guessing that this is being caused by 2 things.

1 is a bottle neck on Microsoft Servers where they store all the OneDrive for Business Premium files.

2 is the badly written OneDrive code that prevents the local computer from simply doing the job... and just queuing the changes needed to be applied to the OneDrive files on the internet.

Is there nobody driving the Microsoft vision or customer care?

Hay DaveIrl, I know this post was from awhile ago, I found it trying to solve somthing else. If your still having this problem try using the app "Everything" https://everything.en.softonic.com/download . I use it all the time as I have multiple cloud storages and drives, I think it only searche locally. Ither way it is extremely fast I see the results pop up as I type them. You just click the icon in your task bar. Had to comment this as it's a life changer for me. Hope this helps.
