Onedrive's downloading speed is tremendously slow

Hey Bryll,

Thanks for your response. It wasn't helpful. As you can tell from the plethora of replies, we all have a razor sharp knowledge of computer technology, but also an experience of using Microsoft products on a daily basis. Just to clarify, that experience is painful.

Every day I beg, on bleeding knees, hands clasped together with tears in my eyes pleading with my team and my clients to move away from any and all Microsoft products. My prayers are thus far unanswered.

I'm currently rocking 10 kbps download speeds on a 4tb file at 00.34 in the morning. I dare you to talk to me about network congestion or background applications.

What I am interested in, is borrowing the (surely) patented "Microsoft Time Machine" that allows, encourages and excuses download speeds and customer service reminiscent of 1983.

I've always wanted to see Cyndi Lauper in concert.

Today is August 2nd 2024. I have to download a 6gb photoshoot portfolio from a client's OneDrive for a job. I started the download yesterday. I have a 600 mb conection speed. The over night avarege download speed was lower then 1mb. It's has passed over 12 hours and it is not even close to 20%. I was sopposed to finish my work for this client today at 10 am. Right now is 8 am. I spent 30min doing a research regarding this problem. I'v found similar threads in diffente soucers dating back from 2019. Not one official response or aknoleg of the problem by Microsoft. Luckly I don't have any personal files on OneDrive and will never have.

I have exactly the same problem. Download speeds of barely 100kbs which my bandwidth is at 150MBs down. Everything else works super fast on my connection but OneDrive I can barely download a file or work.

Have tried all the advice and gone through all the settings and nothing works to speed it up

Same imagine after yrs this is still an issue I need to work today but it'll take a week to manage storage like this, guess I'll get an account with a competitor since ms seems unwilling to fix.

I’ve tried all the above. No matter how rippingly fast my upload or download speeds are throughout the “day,” OneDrive works graveyard shift. Literally and figuratively, the difference in both processing speeds is like “night” and “day.”
