Thus, a single upload of - GB might take several days to complete. But even if you were willing to wait it out, the internet is not robust enough to complete a single upload that large. At least, not without a dedicated connection end-to-end. Its almost a certainty that the upload will disconnect along the way and you'll have to figure out exactly where the connection dropped and then start over from that point.

OneDrive itself may stop your upload somewhere along the way, because consumers don't commonly upload that much at one time. If you have OneDrive for Business that may not be the case. I uploaded 4 or 5 GB at a time over several weeks.

You might consider other cloud storage services, but unless you have a business plan with the service and with your ISP, you're likely to have the same experience. Yes, I am familiar with that technique. My wife has a OneDrive account on an "old" laptop that we are getting rid of. So yes, I can do that, but it is a lot of work. Yes, I agree with what you said and suspected that was probably the best way to get the files up to my OneDrive account it being 1 TB because I have an Office subscription.

The advantage I see with this approach is that if I place pieces of my Pictures folder in the OneDrive folder on my computer, OneDrive will take care of uploading the files correctly eventually , fighting through any internet availability problems. So let me ask a couple of questions about the files once I get them into OneDrive. From the procedure I went through and described to Diego above, I uploaded all of the Documents folder into a separate folder in my OneDrive account and marked the folder as "Not Synced" -- because these were old files I just wanted to archive and keep them, you know, in case I ever needed them for some reason.

Now, I am in sort-of the same situation with the Pictures. So as in the case of the Documents folder s from the old laptop, I envisioned to just archive the Pictures in my OneDrive, mark them as "Not Synced" and leave them alone i. Is there anything wrong with that approach.

Just mentioning this as to how I handle my Pictures in my course of operation. And let me ask one last question that I forgot about above. You can't have two OneDrive folders in your computer i. I can't comment on your method because I haven't tried that and, quite frankly, would not be inclined to do so. The drawback of this method is that it takes lots of time. If you have lots of files, so it might not suit for work purposes. To migrate between clouds, transfer the files using the drag and drop option.
