How To Download [NEW] Large Folders From Sharepoint

around one month ago i were able to move around 25,500 files/folders from a user's onedrive site to a sharepoint online document library. where i used the "Move To" option, and the size of the files and folders were around 12 GB, and got moved in around 8 hours. but today i were reading this article @ Move files and folders between OneDrive and SharePoint and it mentioned the following note:-

but based on my case last month, i were able to move around 12 GB of data, so not sure what does the 500 MB refer to? and after the move, i restore the items from the user's one drive recycle bin and try another move to a test document library, and i have noted that the destination library got the same number of files/folder and size.. so 2 move to processes were able to transfer 25,500 files and folder with total size of 12 GB... which is against what is mentioned on the above link (mainly that we can only move 500 MB!)... and if there are a real limitation, then why sharepoint online allowed me to do the move...

@Chris WebbBut can i know why you would not use it?also seems the move operation will be a server-side operation, as i tried a test, where i just initiate the move operation (by selecting the related main folders and move to to sharepoint) , then i logout from sharepoint >> but seems the move operation continue to run till the end !!! also if there is a limitation on the Move To operation, then sharepoint should have prevented us from moving 12 GB, the issue once you start the move operation you can not stop it!!

I logged a support ticket with Microsoft as well and they confirmed that a hot fix will be applied on January 11th, with a complete fix available in April 2021. I guess we just hang tight until the 11th and see what the hotfix brings. In the meantime, I have been using the ShareGate Desktop tool to perform large file migrations. I have a SG Desktop license from a previous on premise to online SharePoint migration. Thanks everyone for the feedback, it was nice to know I wasn't alone in noticing a change in behavior.

Now this folder tree is rather archaic and consists of many many subfolders and unfortunately none dares to start sorting this thing, which makes browsing that folder structure through the web ui rather cumbersome as the loading penalty per folder is too big, especially if you open a folder with many subfolders and sharepoint only ever loads 50 or so per scroll (some keyboard navigation would be awesome). Also the browser file previewer for .msg files isn't sufficient, since you can't view/open attachments in that .msg file.

I ran into this issue once and I was able to use Teracopy from the original source, chose to "Skip all" of the files that already existed, and it went in and replaced all missing folders and documents.

I have an external partner account that wants to download a large GIS data set from our SharePoint. The data set is about 13500 files and is around 43 gb in size, and is housed within a folder. When they try to download it, it's downloaded as a zip file, but it's never able to fully complete, even though the browser says the download is complete. Sometimes the zip file is only a couple of GBs and won't open.

You can download files and folders from Microsoft OneDrive, or from SharePoint in Microsoft 365, SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, or SharePoint Server 2019 to your computer with just a few clicks.

If you select multiple files or folders and then select Download from Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint in Microsoft 365, or from SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, your browser will start downloading a .zip file containing all the files and folders you selected. If you're in a folder and you select Download without selecting any files or folders, your browser will begin downloading all contents of the folder.

When the size of folders and lists increases, you must design custom code that works with them to optimize performance. Otherwise, your applications will run slowly and can cause service or page load timeouts. The two primary areas for concern when handling large folders and lists are the following:

The following recommendations for addressing performance concerns when working with large folders and lists are based on the test results reported in Steve Peschka's white paper, Working with Large Lists in Office SharePoint Server 2007. These recommendations are also applicable to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. For additional guidance on using SPQuery and the PortalSiteMapProvider class, which applies specifically to SharePoint Server 2010, see Writing Efficient Code in SharePoint Server.

We then loop through each of the top-level folders and files returned from our Template folder and check to see if the current item is a Folder or File. We check the IsFolder property to see if it's true. If it is true (it's a folder) we go into the Yes branch and use Copy folder. If it's not true (it's a file) we go into the No branch and use Copy file.

In the Yes branch we use Copy folder, which will copy the top-level folder and any sub folders/files within it. Identifier comes from Get files (properties only) and Full Path come from Create new folder.

I agree Sharegate is the way to go, I moved an entire organisations files from a crappy 4TB portable disk into SharePoint using it. I'm sure we had multiple 50GB+ folders, it was slow and painful but still worth the 1yr sub.

Another tool to bear in mind is the SharePoint web interface which is accessible by browsing to the document library / OneDrive library through a web browser. This interface is quite limited when it comes to file/folder operations but is significantly quicker when it comes to large move or copy operations from one library to another or when moving folders within the same library.

If you are expecting OneDrive to sync a very large number of files and folders then expect to wait a long time. A very long time. We have had jobs which can take months to complete so be prepared to manage your client expectations about how long their project might take. Where the bottleneck is and why it take so long, I have no idea but patience is very important.

Applications call the OneNote REST API to create or access OneNote content in Office 365. Sometimes the OneNote API calls can fail when they are executed against SharePoint document libraries that contain a large number of items (items can be folders or files, some of which could be OneNote entities such as notebooks, sections or section groups).

I'm currently creating a large number of SharePoint folders within a list (e.g. ~800 folders), with each folder containing a different number of items. The way it is currently done is that it programmatically reads off the content types, items, event listeners and the likes off the same folder from another web, then creates the same folder in the current web.

If you need to access files or folders in SharePoint directly through File Explorer you can Sync the folder, and all of its contents, using the OneDrive application on your computer. By default files will only be accessible on your computer while connected to the Internet. If you open a file it will download the file to your computer so use caution when accessing large files that might fill up your computer storage.

It is recommended that you only sync folders or files that you need access to in File Explorer. Syncing large quantities of files (in the thousands of files or more) can take your computer a long time to sync and might cause issues with your OneDrive application on your computer. If you only need quick access to a folder to view contents or upload/edit files, you can bookmark the SharePoint URL in your browser, follow the site, or save directly to SharePoint from the desktop Office applications.

Create the folder hierarchy needed in the new location and grant access to folder(s)/library. Move or Copy the documents/folders from the current location to the new hierarchy; security settings will be applied.

Migration of emails from a large Public Folder structure into a replacement Microsoft 365 / SharePoint Online / Teams structure can be a challenging task. MacroView can assist with the migration in a number of ways:

Note to administrators: Creating personal views that correctly use a column index is not easy for large lists and libraries. Therefore, it may make sense not to grant permission to manage personal views to all users. This prevents a user from creating a view that encompasses all elements, thereby degrading site performance.

A large list or library can be split into multiple folders for faster work. Viewing all items in a list or library without folders is faster to get past the list view threshold. If individual folders contain more than 5000 items, i.e. exceed the threshold, a filtered view should be used at the same time.

6. Migrating and tagging the tens of thousands of documents from your legacy file folders into your new SharePoint repository while retaining the existing taxonomy or migrate to a new taxonomy.

When I first realised the above limitations, I thought a way around it might be to just copy the data from source to a new location using the Migration Manager. This will not work as you are only able to specify one level of folder within a given document library in SharePoint, Teams or OneDrive. If you are required to migrate the data to sub-folders two, three or more levels deep within a document library, the Migration Manager will not be able to complete this.

We have described the steps to delete a folder. From finding its location to choosing the right option, each step is essential for successful deletion. Users can remove unwanted folders from their SharePoint sites and simplify their content management. 006ab0faaa
