Microsoft OneDrive: OneDrive sync supports up to 1 million items on macOS

OneDrive sync on macOS will increase its item limit from 300,000 to 1 million per device, starting with a Public Preview in mid-October 2026 for Insiders ring users. Devices not meeting hardware requirements will remain at the current limit, with no disruption expected. In MC1294528, we announced an increase to the item sync limit for OneDrive on Windows. We are now increasing the same item sync limit for OneDrive on macOS: from 300,000 items to 1 million items per sync instance, per device. This increase is designed to help organizations with large OneDrive and SharePoint libraries sync more content reliably across devices. The capability will be available first in Public Preview for devices enrolled in the Insiders ring, and later in General Availability. Devices that do not meet the minimum hardware and configuration requirements will continue to sync at the existing supported limit of 300,000 items without disruption.
