Windows 10: OneDrive synch keeps re-synching large file.

I have copied a large video file 35GB that has been successfully synced with OneDrive in the cloud OnLine. I see the all files are uptodate message. When I then add other photos that start synching, this file starts synching againg. This has happened more than ten times. The OnLine synched file is OK in that the video, ahared with another user, can be played. Synching this file takes ages and slows everything down. I have this problem before with other large video files. When I reset OneDrive, it seems to go away. However, reseeting OneDrive starrs with synching 250,000 files, which ta

Can't stop large Outlook 2016 files from synching with OneDrive

Hi There,
I have 17 large outlook 2016 files ranging from 1GB to 10 GB. I initially put them into my OneDrive folder and identified them for synching. Bad mistake because it takes days to upload files of this size and every time that I start Outlook, the Synch for all files restart from zero because the files all open when Outlook starts.
So, I thought I would remove them from the Synch and got the attached error.



Basically it seems to being saying that I can't remove them from the Synch until they have fully uploaded which isn't possible as it would take a week for that to happen.
Help please?
Thanks
Paul

 

Can't stop large Outlook 2016 files from synching with OneDrive

OK I solved my own problem.
First I moved the files out of the OneDrive folder, deleted the folder, and they disappeared from the synch although the folder was still in the Cloud. So I deleted the Cloud folder too. I then created the folder again in OneDrive and put the folders back in there but selected not to Synch it. That failed as it showed an error about two folders the same and synching also started again.
So, I moved the folder and outlook files permanently out of the OneDrive folder and that's sorted it.
OneDrive seems so inflexible and isn't user friendly if you ask me!

Onedrive for Business synch problems

First of all, all those users (admin + all standard users) of course need an individual Office 365 / Azure AD account. Assuming they are not using computers for private stuff and therefore personal standard OneDrive is not set up on computers, this is a simplified explanation about the process.

By default each O365 Business / Enterprise user has a folder called Shared with Everyone on their OneDrive for Business. Also by default this folder is already shared with everyone in the organisation:




Everything the admin user (or any other user) wants to share with everyone else within the organisation should be placed here. All users can access the shared content from left pane of the web UI and move content to any of their personal folders:




Each individual user needs then install Office software (Sign in to your account). This will also install the OneDrive client:




OneDrive icon is shown in notification area of the Taskbar, it can be grey (OneDrive not set up), white (personal OneDrive) or in this case blue (OneDrive for Business):




Now each user simply right clicks the OneDrive icon and selects Settings, then Choose folders to select which folders they want to sync to local computer:




The admin user of course selects the Shared with Everyone folder to be synced; everything he / she then saves in this folder will automatically be shared with everyone else, everything removed from this folder will no longer be shared:




In fact it's not complicated. OneDrive for Business works surprisingly well, making sharing within organisation easy.
