Update: Microsoft One Drive for Business Restrictions
Hello All, It seems Microsoft removed some of the restrictions from OneDrive for Business as per the below article which recently updated on 28th April. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/h...
First time I see last two restrictions as removed...indeed the new 15 GB limit is a complete surprise for me cc StephenRice Salvatore Biscari Hans Brender
There was a thread some days ago about the new 400 characters limit for the paths (which, as noted, is still rolling out).
Never heard before about the the new 15GB limit: is this fully launched?
Also, I notice that OneDrive for Business (NGSC) still doesn’t support differential sync, while it has been promised (but not announced, though).
Finally, in the previous version of the article, it was stated that libraries with IRM enabled would have been synchronized as read-only (just as libraries with checkout enabled). This has disappeared from the new version. Has that limitation been removed?

Correct

It is rolling out. Most customers should have it by now.

Office 2016 supports differential sync.

What article are you refering to?
Hi Stephen Rose, thanks for your responses.

Hence, non-Office files do not get differential sync, while Office documents get differential sync, but only if the relevant setting in the OneDrive client settings is enabled. Correct?

I am referring to the previous version of the article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3125202/restrictions-and-limitations-when-you-sync-files-and-folders.
