What exactly are the limitations on the new OneDrive for Business?

Question

Hi everyone!&nbsp;I am wondering what exactly are the limitations when Syncing from SharePoint Sites.&nbsp;For example is used to be a total of 20000 items limitation synced and a 5000 item limit on each library.&nbsp;Are these limitations now gone with the new client?&nbsp;Is the file path limit also gone?&nbsp;I have already opened a case with Microsoft but couldn't get a clear response but just a link that i 've already visited and hasn't provided enough information.&nbsp;Thanks !

The official documentation is here (probably you have already seen it...): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3125202/restrictions-and-limitations-when-you-sync-files-and-folders

With NGSC the item number limitations for syncing are gone. The path limit length is now raised to 400 charachters in SPO (this feature is still rolling out...).

Hope it helps...

Yeap, this limit has been removed with the new sync client...not anymore the 5.000 items restriction

Just bumping this up. Anyone actually have an answer for Feb 2019? How many files can I put in a SharePoint Document Library and sync using the OneDrive client? What are the actual supported limits??

Thanks for the response!&nbsp;So is the new client able to sync libraries with more than 5000 items?

Based on which is stated in the article, yes. (I have not tested it personally.)jcgonzalezmartincould perhaps confirm...
