OneDrive Client, Files on Demand and Syncing large libraries
I thought I'd post some observations regarding the OneDrive sync client we've observed that aren't documented anywhere but we needed to figure out when planning a massive move to SharePoint from on-p...
One thing I have noticed when people's OneDrive always says it is is processing changes is that they sometimes have .tmp files on their computers that won't sync. If they have "Hide protected operating system files" checked they won't even see them.
I have had people uncheck that box and delete all the .tmp files they find. The "processing changes" that has gone on for days then stops.
That won't solve your problem but it could well be happening with some of your users.
John Twohig I will look out for tmp files thank you.
I am also in the process of synchronizing a Synology NAS with the customer's OneDrive "File Server" library using the cloud sync app installed on the NAS itself. The plan is to utilize local file shares for the users instead of syncing via the OneDrive desktop app. Then just let the NAS handle the rest. For offsite use they can use the browser. I will disable sync button on the customer's tenant/OneDrive/SharePoint admin center.
- Wil setting Win10 to clear OneDrive cached files every day ease the OneDrive sync issue?
