PS I had a chuckle to read that a Macrumors moderator "doesn't really use Macs any more"Ĭlick to expand.I agree. I think this last point may be part of the problem with using OneDrive with large file sets - the APIs seem to get overwhelmed if hit with thousands of files at once. One caveat is that OneDrive throttles file transfers using 3rd party tools, so you can't copy dozens of GB in one go.
I either use OneDrive's web interface or a 3rd party tool (Cyberduck) to do file transfers. For backups and infrequent access data, I use OneDrive as on online archive, and generally avoid the macOS OneDrive client for the aforementioned reasons. For 2nd tier storage, I use Google Drive with file streaming (work account and a personal one), and pay for 200GB. I now have a hybrid approach: I use my free quota of DropBox which has about 10GB of quota for my current work files (mostly docs and code, so 10GB is actually fine for all my work in progress).
It's a bit better, actually quite usable, on Windows machines. I've reinstalled multiple times on different machines and tried all the tricks, but have concluded that it just doesn't well on Mac. 400,000), it gets completely bogged down with syncing, often never finishing or just getting stuck. My main issue with OneDrive (on the Mac at least) is that with large numbers of files (I have c. This is irritating because I found DropBox to be a much better experience than OneDrive (or Google Drive & iCloud, although both have improved recently). No doubt their business model is based on just this - sell 2TB plans, counting on the fact that the majority of their customers probably don't use more than 1TB, so they can sell the same storage twice. I basically need about 500GB and was OK paying for 1TB at a reasonable price DropBox now has nothing between 200GB and 2TB, so I would be forced to pay a premium for something I'll never use. Like many here, I have a 1TB OneDrive quota with my Microsoft account, and I used to have a similar amount on DropBox until their storage tiers and pricing drove me away.
