OneDrive for business upload limit

[Mark Kaplan]

Anyone heard when we will see larger than 2gb file limits on uploads tneDrive for business?

Now. Thought they moved that to 10GB recently, or was that only retail?

According to this blog it is 10GB
https://blog.onedrive.com/onedrive-now-supports-10-gb-files/

The raise to 10gb was not for OneDrive for Business. Only personal OneDrive got this increase.

So no idea when the business will get the 10GB

Unfortunate as for most businesses, this makes that 1tb almost useless. Come on MSFT.

Not really. How many single files are more than 2GB in size. Only things we have here are VMs and maybe test databases, neither of which would go into OneDrive.

Most regular docs are way smaller.

We want to use it for storing backup files which are always larger than 2gb. Most media files are also over that limit. The corporate drive would only be useful for larger files in our case. User drives are fine but not the corporate store.

Oh boy. I've been going back and forth with support for ODFB for the past couple of days.

Sadly they can't help as the ******* product is S*HT. Or at least the sync program is.

When you sync a folder to ODFB, the program creates ghost files to your C: drive, equaling the amount of data you are syncing. So, if you sync a folder from your D: drive with 50gb, your C: will gain a folder of AT LEAST 50gb in it.

Microsoft said this is by DESIGN.

Those morons just can't get anything right. Who's got a 1tb ssd as a system drive?

But that does sound silly.
