Generally, when we restart OneDrive sync client, it will start syncing the rest files that haven't been synced in the last time. Is there anyway I can complete this process without setting the Mac to stay on power, logged in and alive permanently until it is done?īased on your description, we understand the issue is that when you pause syncing and restart Mac, OneDrive sync client always starts syncing all files again. In case it's relevant, in ~/Library/Application Support/OneDrive there is a folder called tmp containing 48009 files and occupying around 183GB. The problem is that if the Mac goes to sleep or if I pause synching and restart, it always starts from the beginning again. ' and 'synching 48007 files xx GB of 173GB' OneDrive says 'OneDrive is updating files.
Then I told OnDrive to synch that folder too. That was obviously much quicker on my local network. I thought I'd short circuit the Shared folder download by copying it from the old PC to the Mac.
OneDrive would always restart where it left off. If the Mac went to sleep or I powered it down or paused synching, The key fact being that none of those folders and files were on the Mac. I set up OneDrive on the iMac and told it synch all but the Shared folder. On OneDrive, I have a Folder called Shared with various sub-folders. I have Office365 Home and the OneDrive I'm referring to here is Personal not business.
