Downloading large quantity's of info from OneDrive failing.

Question

My manager has shared some very large one drive files with me that I need to put on my c/ drive, it's background info I need to run a model. Couldn't download it in a all at once as the hole thing is 158gb, so I'm doing it a folder at a time. Issue im having is that in downloading it from one drive the .zips for some of the larger folders say they are invalid so I can't extract the contents. Others have errors like not all the data download off one drive into the zip.

I'm assuming this is due to the large quantity of data. Is there another way to get them off one drive? I can run it all weekend if needed just really need the info

The largest individual file I'm trying to download is 22gb. There is also sufficient room on my c/ drive for the data.

Thanks

Hi @M_P, 
Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.  

Based on the information you have provided, it looks like you have problem with downloading large files from OneDrive. 

According to this article: Download files and folders from OneDrive or SharePoint, downloads are subject to the following limits: individual file size limit: 15GB; total zip file size limit: 20GB; total number of files limit: 10,000. 
However, to download large files in OneDrive to your local disk, I would suggest use OneDrive sync client, if you just want to download part of the files in your OneDrive to local disk, there is a feature called OneDrive Files On-Demand. But if you want to download all the files and folders to your desktop, you can turn off the feature in OneDrive settings.

I hope this information helps.
