Onedrive syncing method - small to large

Question

I can't find anywhere in the OneDrive client where to sync files based on size.

As an example, say I have lots of small files to sync and 1 large one. I'd rather it sync 99% of the files and plough through the large one overnight.

Rather than hitting the large file first and back up nothing else until that file is complete.

I'd also like the ability to only sync 2 or 3 files at a time, not tons all at same time.

Anyone advise?

Hello richsmif,

One way you could help sync your files at different times is to use different folders. You can sort your files by size and then create a new folder to move those files to. You can have those small files in one folder sync right away and turn on sync for the folder with larger files at night.

You can reference this article for more info on adding synced folders to OneDrive. Sync files with OneDrive in Windows (microsoft.com).

Keep me posted if you have any other questions or updates on the issue.
