They should remove/increase the file size and count limit first. Technically, that's also probably the bigger challenge.

OneDrive recently increased its maximum supported file size from 2 GB to 10 GB,[+]. To echo other comments in this thread, it's likely that "Unlimited" storage is a rebranding and publicity move because most paid users were not using anywhere near the 1+ TB they had access to anyways. To me, it seems likely that the file size limit could be lifted for similar purposes soon.

Shameless plug for my product, ExpanDrive http://www.expandrive.com/expandrive Mount OneDrive (and OneDrive business, soon) as a network drive in Mac/Windows (soon Linux!). Smart local cache. Access the data on demand without syncing the repo in first. Also supports gdrive, s3, sftp, Dropbox, box and more. Makes an unlimited account make a lot more sense if you only have a 128GB SSD. Use selective sync with the prima…

Your product is great! As soon as it works with OneDrive for business I'll be picking up a copy.

Google Drive broke on the last update. It is very slow.

I just updated my Google Drive to the "new" web interface and I've noticed it is absurdly slow in general.

As much as it's a pain in the ass, you can always a multipart RAR to get around this.

Again, I know, pain in the ass, but it's a work around.

The problem I have with putting my data in online drives is that they have an open copy to my data, which is something I don't like

Does expand drive has the ability to:

- set the a file password (system level/folder level/file level)

- every file uploaded gets encrypted first with the appropriate password

- files downloaded get decrypted on arrival

?

In this way the space provider does not have access to my unencrypted files, and the password never left my machine

Google Drive broke on the last update. It is very slow.

There seems to be an issue with the Notification Center too (on menu bar). It disappears randomly while Expandrive is open.

Quite buggy, it reminds me why I stopped using it. Shameless plug, sorry!
