We are focused on performance of the client across various scenarios: new files, file edits, initial sync. We’ve made numerous improvements over the course of the past year and have additional work planned in this area.

Not done a speed comparison recently of OneDrive but it doesn't feel that much worse than Google Drive. But in general, all the cloud storage systems feel a little slow sometimes.

Thanks for all the feedback. We’ve started the initial work on this one and we’ll update the status with more details as we get closer to knowing when we expect to ship this.

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

Another +1 for LAN sync. I use OneDrive to synchronise a large deployment folder contains software installers, inc. Office 365 ODT files for semi-annual, semi-annual targeted and monthly. They add up to several GB. Many installers have to copied to local hard drive as many of them are not-cloud storage aware and therefore on-demand doesn't really help.

We announced differential sync at the SharePoint Conference in May. We’ve already rolled it out to our OneDrive personal users and plan to roll it out to the rest of our users by end of this year. See this blog post for more details: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-OneDrive-Blog/OneDrive-announcements-SharePoint-Conference-2019/ba-p/616047.

Needless to say Dropbox and Google Drive which I also use does not suffer from this bug. It's a fundamental design issue IMO (speaking as a programmer)

We’re thinking about this for our future planning but don’t have specifics to share yet.

I've just posted something similar myself on here (hint - allow one to sort search results on uservoice by popularity). Attempting to use the recycle bin for anything except a couple of recently deleted files is painful. In fact, most users simply give up. A search/filter with date range would be a start.

I cannot believe that 2.5 years later that this is STILL a huge flaw in OneDrive. Because I'm aware of this bug, on my dev system, I synchronise my OneDrive folder to my server so that when I happen to boot up an old VM or restore the VM for my dev environment, OneDrive doesn't merrily restore itself to an ancient copy. Just done it again today when I restored a snapshot in VMware Workstation. Bang! OneDrive assumed it was the master and deleted all the recent files. I document it here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_onedrivefb-mso_win10/very-big-flaw-in-onedrive/a14c500f-ebae-47a8-8065-c8b5d8c3ad19
