Get the number of folders and files from a document library
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.
