Get the number of folders and files from a document library
Mike Dumka
Do you need a CSV file with the details of all items or do you want to have a File Explorer like view which shows the total size, number of documents, number of folders within each folder?
Do you also need to get information on the document versions present, encrypted files and checked out items?

Paul de Jong Just need how many items are in each folder.
As strange as it may sound I don't even need to know the size of the files/folders. The reason I need the count, is because users are trying to sync the 600,000 files and there is a huge performance issue. The OneDrive sync client has a 300,000 per computer so that is why I need to spit this up.
Thanks!
Splitting the library is indeed a good way forward to avoid using OneDrive to synchronise such a large data set. Having LVT problems only complicates things further. I am not sure how well PowerShell scripts can cope with the LVT. There must be other solutions out there but we have developed a https://www.slimapplications.com/product/explorer/ that uses REST API and can cope with LVT limits. You can use the solution to browse through the structure or generate a detailed report (or csv list). You can use the trial version so there are no costs.
PaulHey Paul, How are you ? Im facing the same issue here; LARGE DOCUMENT LIBRARY impacting on the Onedrive Sync; I need to create a plan to move/migrate to new document library but I need to check how many items have in each folder; Could you please help me with that ?
