Hi, folks. We’re sorry this is taking a while. We’re working with the Outlook team on this now.
onedrive web always stalls after uploading few files - hangs on "uploading *** items" for ever (win 10 chrome and Edge)

i am trying to upload my photos to onedrive via the web. I dont do it via the windows sync app as I dont want this folder synced as its too big.

I know all the fragile problems with onedrive, and can confirm that:

all my file names are < 8 chars + ".jpg"
None of the filenames nor folders have any chars other than ascii
There is only one level deapth (a directory with files in it)
I have 300GB of space left in my 1TB (so its not a space issue).
Files are all < 10MB, so its not a file size issue.
I have tried with different folders of images, always same problem.
I have 300Mb symmetrical uncontested fibre connected via 1GB Ethernet and managed switch. speed test.net shows 310Mbit up and down 100% of the time.
How to reproduce:

open onedrive.live.com in either chrome or IE (both fail)
navigate to my pictures backup dir in the web view of onedrive.
drag a folder of images (or just images, same problem)
It very quickly uploads a small number of the files (between 15 and 20)
Then it says "uploading *** items" in the top right, and when I click on it it says "Progress uploading *** items to picture_bacukups"
Then nothing happens. It makes no progress, it just hangs. I have tried leaving it for 3 hours, nothing happens.
It creates the target directory and a few initial image files (it usually manages around 15, I have tens of thousands in total to transfer (not all at once of course, it certainly cant handle that)
The browser and onedrive website are still responsive, e.g. I can open a dir (and it still says "uploading *** items" in the right corner)
This also happens if you try to copy the missing files from a directory. Drag say 500 images to the dir in the web browser, and it uplodas say 15 then simply doesnt upload any more, it gets stuck. close the browser, start again, drag the remaining 485 files, and say 17 of these get copied, then it stops again. Something is very wrong.

Several months ago this used to mostly work, but now I am stuck - there is no way to upload files. I have been trying since 2 days. after several hours of no files being uploaded, I close the browser, delete the partially uploaded directory, and start again. Always same result - it creates the dir, uploads a random number of files (between 15 and 17), then simply stops uploading for no reason.

I found this thread where people are having exactly the same problem with no solution:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/forum/odwork-odfiles-sdwin10/onedrive-upload-stalls-when-trying-to-upload-a/590140af-90f6-4ad8-aa43-ad99fb1162a4

I tried again a week later, and the problem is exactly the same, It always hangs after uploading the firs few files.

Thanks for reporting. We plan to have a fix out very soon.
Make API for Shared folders a lot better

You are able to Access the shared folders by you and others with "https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/drive/shared" and access each of the elements by /drive/items/{id}

What I miss:
- Possibility to upload to folders shared by others that I have write access to.
- Possiblity to list the permissions for each item (OneDrive.com uses /API/2/GetPermissions)
- Possibility to Add/delete permissions as well

We haven’t documented the /shared API because we’re still working on making it work better. We’re working on expanding support for more sharing concepts including those you have listed.
