Make OneDrive 64 bit!

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

    32 Bit OneDrive really? I'm no fan of Apple but they are looking increasingly more attractive. Cone MS, get your thumb out!

    Yes please! It's ridiculous to have a main function like this only available in 32 bit.

  • Patrick commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We are waiting for the 64bit. For some reason 32 is inadequate. For example, often, when folders are uploaded it doesn't upload the files themselves.

    A bit strange that Microsoft is pushing her new operating system Windows 64 bit
    and not creating 64 bit software for its own platform.
    I vote DOUBLE yes to implement 64 bit ONEDRIVE as soon as possible !!

    This is truly worse than that... i've made some experiments and found that in my organizations laptop i've instaled onedrive for Business (ODfB) 2016 in a laptop already with Office 2013 (!?!!?!?!), but when trying to install ODfB 2016 in my laptop i had to completely wipe Office 2013 lefties, corrupted office 2016, uninstalled office 2016, THEN installed ODfB 2016 , TO FIND OUT THAT i cant reinstall office 2016 64 bits BECAUSE ODfB 2016 is 32 bits...
    Way to go Microsoft, so 2016 64 bit versions doesn't exist or aren't compatible...
    Confused? So is Microsoft ...

    64 bit becomes more important in the future, as the next release of Windows 10 will be running 32 bit programs in the protected ring, and thus 32 bit services will fail
    .

    64 bit doesn't do that much for what is basically a sync client tbh.. I'd rather have them work on the cloudplatform and fix the horrible photo-tag management.. I can live with the faulty autotag, but having to strip tags one by one (coz selecting a few photos and then pushing edit tag usually hangs the process), or downloading every single photo, deleting them from the cloud from wherever in the directory-structure, disabling tagging and then placing the pictures in the correct spot... that's undoable.

    It seems strange when most other MS apps/processes are now available in 64-Bit. It's the only major 32-Bit process still running on my PC.

    The question isn't why but not why not?

    I don't see much value in making this 64 bit. It's not like the app usually uses a ton of memory or runs processes that would be much faster in a 64 bit instruction set. If you have so many files that storing the entire file index in memory crashes the app, perhaps a suggestion to not do this would be in order?

    Frankly, please migrate everything to 64 Bit, even compatibility features for 32 bit - even if you have to build a new tunnel between 64 Bit support and legacy 32 bit apps. When doing so, please also take a look at migration of licensed Microsoft apps from drive to drive after system failure without reinstallation..

    If you are tired of waiting for Microsoft to release a 64 bit virtual drive client, download WebDrive instead. Not only will it work with your OneDrive, but you don't need to upgrade all of your Microsoft Office desktop applications to 365. WebDrive will work fine with Office 2010. Oh, and we've had a 64-bit solution for nearly 10 years, so it's fully vetted on millions of desktops around the world.

    Full disclosure, I'm CEO of SRT, developers of WebDrive.

    When? In clear install Windows 10 Fall Creaters Update only OneDrive process mark as 32-bit.
