Thinking rock sync with one drive4/5/2023 What we all want is a reliable sync system which flexes with the business needs. So whilst this does give us techies something to do and makes us look good when we fix it that's not really the sort of credit we are after. Our annoyance is that Dropbox can happily sync thousands of files without an issue, even OneDrive (the consumer version) is good as it uses a different technology, so why not Microsofts' business application?! Plus if you do accidentially go over that 5000 items can be a bit of a pain to sort out. Whilst generally all that is needed is some file structure planning it is a seemingly pointless limitation. Frustratingly there is also a 5000 item limit which most people are unaware of (this is files + folders) for any one library, though you can have multiple libraries of course. So time to repair.but that didn't work.so time to clean the cache and start again (whilst noticing that 16gb of our harddrives' storage is taken up by the cache, aaaahhhh!!!). When I did this recently, my files were fine but my colleagues OneDrive for Business folders all had errors that could not be resloved. It is prone to bugging out when you move files around, if for example you are having a bit of a "spring clean" of your old customer files and decide to drang and drop a lot of files in to a new "archive" folder. The current client is based on Microsoft's Office Groove and has been for some time. A very handy tool, especially for remote working. If there are any changes made by colleagues during the time you were not connected to the cloud you will be notified and given a choice to merge, or keep a copy of your work. When you then reconnect to the internet the updates to the files are loaded to the cloud. The more clever side to it being that you can for example get on a flight/train/bus to a business meeting and access the files stored in OneDrive for Business locally on our computer without having to connect to the internet. If you are not familiar with OneDrive for Business it is a very handy way to get your files in to the cloud, and to access those files quickly from your computer. There have been "a lot" of complaints (we complained at least 50 times, so god only knows how many complaints they actually received, 10's of 1000's we imagine). Microsoft have announced that they are reviewing a new client for OneDrive for Business, your storage and sync medium to Office 365.
