File Explorer slow in Onedrive Folders
Hi all I'm using the latest version of Onedrive together with an updated Windows 11 and FSLogix (latest version) with Office profile disks. When using the file explorer to open folders from onedriv...
Same here. Just started a couple of days ago. After i removed icloud, then uninstalled OneDrive, then rebooted, then reinstalled OneDrive (from MS website ... ie: NOT the MS Store OneDrive app!) everything started opending fine again without the 10-20 second delay everytime I access a folder or file. I did have to wait 10 minutes or so until OneDrive had synced a sufficient number of folders and files, but seems fine now ... exactly as before.
brnsdv I am experiencing the same issue and have uninstalled iCloud and OneDrive, restarted the computer, but this has not fixed the issue. If I uninstall iCloud, this issue goes away. I need to have iCloud installed for contacts and calendars in Outlook, so I need both to co-exist.
I had a similar issue about 6 months ago and one day, it just started to work as expected.
Any insight on what might be causing this would be much appreciated.
Looks like we have different setups.
I use my Microsoft account's email address for Contacts and Calendar. For my email, I use my ISP's email address and added it to Outlook. This way I don't need iCloud at all. iClud is slow and unreliable IMO, and has been that way for years (I have tried to use it for years). I got fed up so I switched to the config I just described. I also use an iPhone and iPad with this config and it works flawlessly for email, Contacts, and Calendar. (A Microsoft tech suggested this approach a couple of years ago and it has fixed all of the issues I had before when I used iCloud in the manner you're describing. There is no reason why Apple and Microsoft really care about having iCloud on a PC work well ... both companies have their own business models and don't want to invest in supporting cross-platform integrations like iCloud.) If you have a paid Microsoft Office subscription then you can talk to a Microsoft rep about getting the same setup as I have. I'll never go back to iCloud ... I've tried and tried and as I said, there is no reason either company wants it to work well.)
