Remove the File size limit of 2GB for syncing.
There are numerous files that can exceed this file size. Especially if you're syncing family videos, large CAD files, or perhaps digital art files. This makes OneDrive not very useful for my purposes, and others I suspect.
I heard back in 2012 that this was something that the OneDrive team wanted to do but I haven't heard an update on this since then. Please let us know what's going on with this.

Microsoft is useless! Every other Operator offers you more service than them! Poor people who have to live with Microsoft. Also: Microsoft Hotmail has the worst spam filter ever, as they are to miserable to program a proper one, users are even ask to participate in evaluations so Microsoft could better "sort out" ****** spam mail. Microsoft clearly sucks, use Google and change to a operating System that doesn't make you pay for lack in programming (virus etc,)

I cannot believe this has still not been rectified. I have 1TB of online storage that I cannot use as my file is 130GB. I have to now pay Google for 1TB as my 100GB isnt enough and next level up is 1TB but at least it works

I bought my external drive backup, not the one I wanted, because this one came with 200gig storage for 2 years. To find out, 200 gig storage, but 10 gig file size upload limit? My unreal game projects are upwards of 20 gigs or more, that is ridiculous, so am I to bust apart my projects into pieces and zip every time I want to Back up? I wish I would of known, I would of passed on this seagate and onedrive 200 gig storage.

Really Microsoft. I bought a Office 365 Personal subscription that includes 1TB storage in OneDrive. I though, great, now I can sync ALL my files, including backup images of computers. But no, the limit is still 2GB. Remove this stupid limit, PLEASE!

You're PROUD to announce a 10GB file size limit? Really??? WTF??? Google Drive supports files up to 5TB in size! I'm really gutted I bought a year subscription and cancelled my GDrive... I only discovered this silly limitation when re-syncing. At least make it 100GB... that would be somewhat acceptable. I like to keep things like computer hard drive images (Symantec Ghost etc) of my PCs backed up to the cloud... but with this silly system I have to split the file using WinRAR... very annoying.

Unfortunately mine keeps indicating the limit is 2GB and I don't find a fix anywhere.

I have seen a lot of evidence that suggest this limit has been removed, however I still cannot seem to sync (Onedrive for Business) folders to my PC with files larger than roughly 2G. Are there some manual settings I am supposed to be looking into for these changes to come into effect?

10gb limit is a show stopper. Now that unlimited was removed, file size should not be limited. Dropbox doesn't have a limit so i guess we'll be using them instead.

It still displays sync problem and tells you your file size is too large if its over 2GB. If 10 is true, maybe the error should say 10GB instead of 2GB.

Please, Microsoft, fix this problem.
Because of the 2 GB cap, or for that matter, the 10 GB one, I will regretfully have to look for an alternative cloud solution.

Please lift this for business customers.... its been more than a year since the rest of the cloud has had this lifted... for the love of God... please. Ill also say... a 10Gb is still very subpar... why does there have to be a limit at all??? its my space, why cant I use all of it in one upload if I want to!

Okay so basically what you guys are saying is all the personal users which is NOT The main bulk of the M$ corporate mammoth is currently happily uploading files up to 10GB (which is still pathetic If you are going to fix something do it right for G-ds sake don't just put a bandied on it) while us the loyal business customers are still suffering with a 16bit archaic system!?

Micro$oft has forgotten its one drive for Business customers. Over a year and still have not lifted this crazy limitation. I think i have decided to deploy google drive for our school district of 35.000 users.
1,000 GB if storage but only 2 at a time. What the point. backups don't fix, images, zips, iso, etc...

This doesn't seem to work. I can upload files bigger than 2GB, but when I share it, my friends can't download the file. It cuts out when they reach 2GB.
