How can we improve the OneDrive experience on Windows?

Make OneDrive 64 bit!

Make Onedrive 64 bit! Simple as that! 32 bit Onedrive process on 64 bit OS in 2016 is simply unacceptable!

    I just downloaded and it synced. I have a lot of files so definitely seemed faster when it was syncing.

    I am looking forward to this as well perhaps for a different reason. I do not have performance issues with the current 32-bit implementation. What concerns me is the number of supporting applications that are still 32-bit living on our 64-bit OS.
    I was shocked when I looked and saw that on a fresh start of my machine, I have 28 applications that are still 32-bit; OneDrive is just one of them. A number of support utilities for my system along with things like Google Updater, Intel software (IME) to name just a couple. While things appear to be stable. when I do launch larger 32-bit applications that require memory (I do have some older ones that are valuable), I have gotten out of memory errors and the apps subsequently crash. Obviously the error is somewhat erroneous given I have 16 GB and there's plenty of room left according to task manager. This is a masked issue due to the fact the way 32-bit apps work and that they can only access up to 3GB out 4 GB unless AWE mode is activated for the specific app and it knows how to make use of that feature..
    If I recall it took quite some time to get devs to move from 8/16 bit apps to 32 so I imagine this road shall be just as long.

    I hope that a 64bit version will finally solve the energy consumption / heating issue of the 32bit version on my HP laptop

    I have a lot of problems because the process takes up too much memory and there is a point where the program quits and restarts.
    It is taking me many days to resynchronize my files because the program continually crashes.
    As you can see, the program almost touches the limit of 3GB of 32bits. For me it is important that OneDrive has a 64-bit version.

    I don't see the point of this request. OneDrive would probably not work faster in 64 bit. It could even be slower. And there's no memory issue: even when I sync 100 000+ large files, OneDrive barely doesn't even take 1 GB RAM on the 32 GB available.

    Nice work. Be proud and take a deep breath. Fill up.

    Hmmm... why are we limiting ourselves to OD 64bit. It could use a little more juice. In the words of buzz sawyer - To infinity and beyond ;-) there's some truth in there somewhere... only making a friendly comment. Keep up the enhancements and innovation. Cheers Bosco

    MS : Please provide all your apps and applications in 64-bit! Please!

    It´s rather surrealistic that we in 2021 still have to ask for this, and as other has pointed out, especially for much used apps like OneDrive, but also for all other core system components of both OS and Apps.

    the 32-bit/x86 parts drags down the whole experience all over!

  • Hilton Travis commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Having a Microsoft app - a fairly heavily used app - like OneDrive that's only x86 is, well, not great for resources (and thunking).

    Good news. Go guys go. Eager to leave all 32-bit apps and tools used on the desktop behind in 2021 and OneDrive is one of the last few holdouts that we have decided to waiting on, rather than drop and live without in our triage.

    Thank you very much Gaia Carini, I'm really happy to read a fresh good news about the onedrive 64-bit version ;-)
