Team Sync, filling up local storage when using OneDrive Client

[_techie_]

Hi.

 

We have a newly onboarded school as part of our MAT, which we have setup a Team for.

We have private channels with members assigned to them.

When syncing a larger number of files, we are experiencing local storage filling up on the client computers to the point that the device becomes unusable.

For the time being we have advised no Teams syncing at present.

 

However in testing I am still getting the same issue.

There seems to be a disconnect in the OneDrive client, and the users profile size.. Profile shows 2.0GB for example, whilst 500GB drive is full, all under SANDMAT.

It initially takes a while to do the processing on 100,000+ files.

 

We have files on demand enabled, I'm not sure why its caching such a large number of files, and filling the local storage.

 

Once the drive fills up, the OneDrive client refuses to continue processing any files (well obvs!).

 

Any ideas? Am I missing something on Intune/Team setup for the channels?

The general channel with a few files in worked fine...

 

Thanks

If you try to open any of the files from the SANDMAT folder do they open instantly? If so its not on demand. I presume on demand is only affecting the OneDrive profile and not the SharePoint synced site

Hi.

Not getting that far sadly, the drive fills up.

Might try on a smaller sub-section. I'm thinking that StorageSense isn't kicking in properly to manage the storage yet.

I'll re-test and come back to you.

 

Thanks

ITs a problem with the July Update that still hasn't been fixed, i've created a workaround script which works most of the time but its not perfect. Currently testing different scenarios and tweaks to remediate the issue as its affecting over 300 PCs!

Thanks Liam, we also had to setup a script which deletes a .lnk or .url shortcuts and disabled the sync of these file formats via a gpo as everytime a user would login the shortcuts would just autogenerate so you would have about 100 internet shortcuts for the same link
