Finally after about 15mins of trying to talk to her (big pauses from her side) she finally posted the link that i originally posted in the description at the start. Do you wish to continue the chat?' and tried to end the conversation, it was the most appalling customer service i had seen in a while and even when i told her i was about to cancel my Office 365 Home subscription she didnt care at all. i already have 16800 files in that, which means i'm near my limit on that folder alone, even though it only uses 120MB of data.įinally i tried to contact their live chat about the 20K file limit, the customer service rep for Microsoft first called me Jeff (not my name) then after waiting for her to answer the question i typed in the description she said 'We have not heard from you.

Given that i use visual studio alot and it likes to make lots of small files for each project. This and the serious limitations of Onedrive make it really not fit for purpose, there is a maximum filesize of 10GB and a maximum file limit of 20000 files if you are using the onedrive/onedrive for business sync. This was with several 8GB files, i kept trying and they kept failing at different % of upload progress and of course the system is so bad, you have to start each one from the beginning again.

Not only is it ridiculously slow, it also fails a lot via the web interface with the message 'Sorry, there was a problem uploading this file, try again'. Onedrive is slow, REALLY slow, i tried several times to upload data to it from my dedicated server using the web interface and found speeds of approx 1.5MBit/sec from a server which can achieve 800Mbit/sec easily and typically is handling around 150-200Mbit/sec of outgoing data.

I recently decided to get an Office 365 subscription and started using the Onedrive storage that comes with that. I've been using Google drive for about a year and found it to be great, paying 10$ a month for 1TB of of storage (and using about 800GB).
