    This does not do the trick for me. I cannot find any ClientPolicy.ini file in that folder (C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\Personal). None of the init files that I do see in the folder contains the key MaxClientMBTransferredPerDay.

    The size of all files that I did manage to download is 535600, though, as I can see from my Windows Explorer. Shockingly close to 537600. So I am sure your answer is the right one, but I cannot find this key in the latest version of OneDrive/Win10.

    Does anyone know whether this has been moved, e.g., to registry or elsewhere?

    EDIT: I managed to make the file become re-created. I deactivated OneDrive ("unlink this PC"), then re-linked the PC again to the same account. All files in above folder were changed as I can see from the detailed file info. Among others, ClientPolicy.ini got re-created.

    THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    When I tried that cmd, all I got was a notepad document with a bunch of parameters on it. But even if I find that particular parameter, where will I make the change? It leaves the cmd prompt immediately.

    I apologize. You make the change within the notepad doc. I did it, it worked. Great! Thanks!

    See the following.  Worked for me.

    You’ve just hooked your PC up to OneDrive, and perhaps you’re trying to download a large folder (or everything) off it. Halfway through, you get an error: “OneDrive can’t transfer files right now”.

    This is actually caused by your PC hitting a local transfer limit (not server sided) of about 500GB. Generally, you can wait a day and it’ll eventually start syncing again. Chances are though, you’d like to fix it immediately. Here’s how:

    The fix is relatively simple.

    • Open the Run command (Win+R) and type the following in (or navigate to it in Windows Explorer:

    %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\Personal\

    • Open ClientPolicy.ini
    • Find the MaxClientMBTransferredPerDay variable and change its value from 537600 (525GB) to something higher, like 5376000 (5250GB)
    • Restart OneDrive
