OneDrive client file sharing limitations

I want to start using OneDrive to share files and folders with my colleagues however I found an article that suggested that there were limitations in terms of file size and the total number of files ...

Hi m_krone

Not a problem.

Is that all users? Is it when you first start your machines? Can you let us know more about the issue?

Best, Chris

It is happening for all users and every time OneDrive starts.

Also with Fiddler we can see there is a normal call to SPO for logging in and have the personal OneDrive ready. After that the SPO document libraries are called and than nothing happens for minutes.

Afte rlike 10 minutes the user ca use all items on the SPO document libraries.

If a user tries to access a file which was not downloaded before (Files on Demand enabled) we are getting the message "Please make sure that <name of SPO doucment library> is running.

    Hi m_krone

    Thanks for outlining.

    And what about the performance outside the companies network? Is there any improvement, say, when working from home?

    Best, Chris

      Hi ChrisHoardMVP 

       

      yes it is the same on outside of the corporate network.

      Also i tested it on a fresh deployed Azure VM - so no corporate infrastructure or software and so on - its the same...waiting up to 10 minutes for OneDrive to be ready.

      Is there a way to read the log files? Maybe there is something in it.

       

      Regards

        I suggest creating a ticket with Microsoft to sort this out!
