OneDrive - maximum files synced

[dlondon]

Just wondering what people have experience of regarding a maximum number of files synced with OneDrive.

I have a user on Big Sur and he has over 2 million files just under his OneDrive Documents folder and it seems to stop syncingwith no message about what the problem is

Is this just being way too optimistic for what OneDrive can do?

@dlondon See Restrictions and limitations in OneDrive and SharePoint . The "Number of items that can be synced or copied" section has the comment "Performance issues can occur if you have 300,000 items or more across all libraries that you are syncing, even if you are not syncing all items within those libraries."

Hi @sdagley - yes I saw that about the libraries.  But what is a library?  I saw info that talked about libraries in relation to Sharepoint but does that mean a user account in OneDrive is a Library?

@dlondon As I understand it a Sharepoint library corresponds to a folder in OneDrive
