Optimizing Folder Sync Selection in OneDrive Post-Installation
Hello fellow OneDrive users, I wanted to bring up a topic that I believe could greatly enhance our experience with OneDrive: the setup and synchronization of desired folders post-installation. Many of us may have encountered the time-consuming process of selecting folders to async when switching machines or setting up a new connection to OneDrive. This is especially challenging when dealing with a large number of small files within subfolders, as it can impact the overall performance of our machines, making them temporarily unusable. Issue Description: Whenever I change machines or connect to OneDrive on a new device, I find myself spending hours manually selecting folders to async. This process becomes even more cumbersome when dealing with millions of small files scattered across various subfolders. The constant synchronization of these files affects the performance of the machine, particularly the Windows Explorer process, leading to a lag in usability. Proposed Solution: To streamline this process and improve user experience, I suggest that Microsoft implement a feature that allows us to pre-select desired folders for synchronization during the initial setup or post-installation of OneDrive. This would save us time and effort, especially when dealing with large amounts of data. Benefits: Time Efficiency: Users would no longer need to manually select folders every time they set up a new connection or switch devices. This would significantly reduce the setup time and hassle. Improved Performance: By allowing users to pre-select folders, the impact on system resources and performance can be minimized. This is particularly important when dealing with a substantial number of small files. Enhanced Usability: With this feature in place, our machines would remain responsive during the synchronization process, making it easier to continue working without interruptions. Discussion Points: Share your personal experiences with the current folder sync setup process. Have you encountered similar challenges when dealing with numerous small files? How do you currently manage the synchronization of large folders with subdirectories? Are there any workarounds you've found effective? Do you believe that pre-selecting folders for synchronization during the initial setup or post-installation could improve the user experience? Why or why not? Are there any potential drawbacks or concerns with implementing such a feature? How could Microsoft address these issues? I'm eager to hear your thoughts and experiences on this matter. Let's discuss ways to enhance the folder sync setup process in OneDrive and make it more efficient for all users. Looking forward to your insights and suggestions!
How do I promote the files from a subfolder into each parent folder for 1000+ folders
Hi, I have the following folder hierarchy. There are over 1000 folders each for a different company. I need to put the files from the child folder, into each of the parent folders. (see example below). Rather than cut and paste each of the files (there's like 16,000++ files) I would like to run a command or program to do this. But I can't find anything that will work. (Folder) Company ABC File A File B File C (subfolder) Attachments File Z File Y (Folder) Company DEF File AA File BB File CC (subfolder) Attachments File ZZ File YY And what I would like it to look like is (Folder) Company ABC File A File B File C File Z File Y (Folder) Company DEF File AA File BB File CC File ZZ File YY Thank you for your attention.
Deleting Folders as part of retention
I have a query about how to delete empty folders after retention policy has been applied. Some users set up folders in document libraries. Regardless of whether we apply retention at library or folder level, only the files within the folder will delete at the specified time but the actual (now empty) folder remains. How can we automatically get SharePoint to delete the empty folder as well as the files with in? I've seen a solution to create a flow but that will delete any empty folder, not just the ones where files have come to the end of their retention.
Making a Team template including all folders
For one of our departments, I need to make the very same Team in Teams regularly, BC each project has the same set-up. So what I need is a Team template form which all folders and subfolders (more that 30) can be cloned. However, when I clone such a Team, the folders (and files) are NOT copied along. What is the best way to do it anyway?Show the total number of files in a SharePoint library
My users (non developers) are often complaining that it is so hard in SharePoint to show: - The total number of files (not items) in a library I know that its possible to see the total number of items if I go to "site contents" and find the document library there. But this includes the folders. Often people are interested how many files are there. Is there any way to do this? - The total number of files inside a folder In the Windows Explorer I can right click a folder and see the number of files in the details. But in SharePoint I can only show the top level children via changing the view: But this info is worthless for most of the people. They want to see the number of files including all sub folders. - Is there a way to archive this? We have huge document libraries and it is not recommended to sync those via OneDrive client. This would be a (bad) way to archive what we need via Windows Explorer. But there must be a way in SharePoint how to do this that does not require a PowerShell skript. Any idea how to (easily, for normal users) do this in the GUI?
Search of new folder (library) not working for some users
Hi All, My client has requested I create multiple document libraries for them by adding folders and subfolders for each requested topic/subject. The client uses the search function for each document library to either search the document library as a whole or to search the respective (sub-) folder. Creating new libraries/folders has worked successfully since the beginning of the year and we had no problems with the search. Recently, when we add new folders in already existing document libraries, the "Search this Library" search does not show results for certain users. The creator of the library can generally search the library. However other users (owners and members alike) cannot search this library. All the current advice provided by Microsoft (re-indexing...etc.) under the following link (and all relevant links in this area of the site) does not solve the problem:Search results missing in SharePoint Online - SharePoint | Microsoft Docs. Any new ideas out there concerning this problem? Any support would be much appreciated!
