How to Turn On or Off OneDrive Uploading Files in Batches in Windows 10

   Information

OneDrive is a cloud-based storage service where you can view, browse, upload, and share the files you saved online to OneDrive.

All files in each folder you choose to sync in OneDrive on your PC is automatically kept in sync with your online OneDrive. Sometimes all this continuous synchronization can cause the OneDrive upload of your files to overwhelm and decrease the performance of your internet bandwidth to slow to a crawl. This can easily happen if you often sync a lot of large video files for example. If this happens to you, then you could improve overall upload speed by setting OneDrive to upload files in batches instead of all at a time.

This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off to improve upload speed by uploading your files and folders in batches in Windows 10 to sync with your online OneDrive cloud.

   Warning

OneDrive batch upload uses more bandwidth. If you notice problems with your internet connection, then turn off batch upload.

Here's How:
1. Right click or press and hold on the OneDrive icon on the taskbar notification area, and click/tap on Settings. (see screenshot below)

2. Click/tap on the Performance tab, check (turn on) or uncheck (turn off) the Improve upload speed by uploading files in batches box, and click/tap on OK. (see screenshot below)

NOTE: Unchecked (turned off) is the default setting.

That's it,
Shawn
