Syncing over LAN
This would allow multiple PCs / Devices with the same OneDrive account to sync over the local LAN network. This makes a huge difference when setting a new PC (or restoring one) as you can transfer 100's of gigs over the LAN much faster and without impacting your Internet bandwidth cap.

We don’t have a timeline yet but it’s still on our radar.

C'mon Microsoft! Soooo many people are waiting for this!
It seems like bringing BranchCache to OneDrive, no? Do people recall that BranchCache works on SharePoint Server 2013? It's kinda what we're looking for, right? -

This is something that would be really helpful.
It is the reason we staying with Dropbox on some sites. -

This prevents my transition from drobox. Fast synchronization via LAN is very important to me.

Weighing in - cloud storage is integral to my system design, but also that this storage is local. Sometimes moving 10-50GB between two workstations in order to access files without any download delay. LAN sync makes this possible. I migrated from Dropbox to One Drive due to the inclusion of office and cost, but missing this component cripples your service such that I may have to migrate back. Please incorporate LAN sync development as a high priority.

It is important to be available also for team sites. Uploading and downloading of all the files that our company's users are creating or editing has a dramatic effect in our internet connection

Any update? Surely an inferior product cannot last like this.
Onedrive without lan sync is just not high on my priority backlog. Just being transparant

This would be an *enormous* benefit for customers, like us, who only have a 100/100 fiber connection. When large folders are deleted from a Team Site > Documents folder, the constant "Looking for Changes" eats all of our bandwidth and takes our business to it's knees.

This is the major holdup for us switching over from Dropbox. Our field personnel are often in poorly connected areas and LAN sync keeps them running with minimal interruptions. Like Teams, SharePoint, Flow... y'all are so close, but there are critical features you're years behind on!
Also, what's the point of voting if our limited votes are tied up for years of inactivity?

Voted x3. They managed to do this with windowsupdate, so why not with Onedrive (given the dropbox appifaction fiasco, I suspect they are ... feeling the load right now)

Staggered this isn't available, despite having been requested for over 5 years and nearly 6k votes!!

agreed with the rest of the comments here: a major reason to still keep using Dropbox here.

How come this was not implemented from the very start? user's do not keep 300mb like in the old days. Nowadays user's keep 50GIG+ data in their personal drives even when establishing tight policies such as 2GIG quota allowed they still want 100GB+ in a business model at the personal level I couldn't not backup my 4TB via OneDrive yet unless I separate this into 8 different user's accounts.

This is the only feature keeping me from moving our entire production file system from Dropbox!
having multiple users accessing and updating a few 1Gb files 20-30 times/day each is a nightmare to sync via the cloud. -

This needs to be added in.
It's a pain when having multiple PC in the same network all to wait on the file to be pushed in the cloud and downloaded back to them.
