Microsoft Support [Case #:1022743337] - Re: [Case #:1014916088] - Microsoft 365 - OneDrive issues

Hello Microsoft Support, As part of my Microsoft 365 subscription, it has a 1TB cloud storage per person. I have been trying to synchronize a folder from my laptop to the OneDrive but it is not. I have checked with GeekSquad (Best Buy) why it is not synchronizing, they informed me that the folder has to be located in the desktop, documents or picture for it to successfully synchronize to the OneDrive storage that I purchased from Microsoft If that is true, WHY? I need to synchronize any folder in any location in my laptop to my OneDrive. Let me know how to successfully do it.
OneDrive should be able to synchronize file/folders from the laptop/device to it since it is called 1 TB cloud storage per person. Files and folders on our devices should be able to synchronize automatically to OneDrive otherwise what is the purpose of having it if you have to do manual copy and paste as backup?
If it is not done, it devalues the Microsoft 365 Family subscription.
Let me know. Regards, Francis

Currently OneDrive automatically uploads 10 files simultaneously at any given time instead of finishing 1 file before going on to the next one. This seems pointless, and is causing a bug to occur. The bug is that the slower that large files are uploaded, the more likely OneDrive just stops uploading them in the middle at random moments, after having wasted time partially uploading them, and has to start again from the beginning when syncing is turned off and then on again. (That bug should of course be fixed also, but this change seems like an easier fix, and would make the bug happen much less often.) Uploading 10 files at once is of course slowing each file to 1/10 the speed.

When a user is connecting a new computer or changing the settings of an older computer - such that the new setting will store all files locally - and - in the cloud - OneDrive spawns way too many threads resulting in I/O blocking. Instead, either limit the copy operation to no more than n/2 threads where n is the number of cores in the computer - or - allow the user to manually set the maximum number of threads.

The reason for this is I was copying everything to @local (roughly 240GB) and it took on a 1Gbit network with a 1Gbit uplink roughly 24 hours with observable speeds between 1KB/s up to 2MB/s and I/O at 100%. My guesstimate is that the number of threads are thrashing the hard drive writing small blocks. Fewer threads would lead to less thrashing - and might lead to improved network performance as well.

There should be a way to either disable it entirely, or disable it during a specific time frame/app your on. Because some windows/UAC (User Account Control) files i've moved to desktop screen were now in drive and cannot be recovered. They weren't of any importance due to it revolving around a folder that was in a windows sub-sub-sub-sub-sub folder, what im basically saying, the main point of this? WINDOWS/UAC FILES SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO UPLOAD TO ONEDRIVE. And since i couldn't recover them i just deleted the files from drive. What. A. Waste. Of. Time. However, this did allow me to experiment on UAC folders (On a test bench computer) and how to move them safely soooo... Yay? Maybe? Idk, if onedrive wasnt so specifically certain it can move any file/folder to itself i might've still had that folder. If there was a "Disapprove" option on one drive i would click it instantly. However, DON'T MOVE windows, system, UAC, sys64, of any folder relating to windows UNLESS YOU SPECIFICALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. What did that specific folder do? Well, to be blunt... Idk, it couldve had special properties where the calculator button no longer works on my OMEN computer. In the end, idk what that folder did, and im GLAD it didnt do anything harmful to my computer.
