      File views? or files per site in SPO? I found it to be files per site several years ago... sad to see that hasn't been fixed/upped.

        The 5k limit was per view. There might also be an upper limit for files per site, but I've not tested it.

          There's also another one that would look something like \devdep\WWW\share\front

          But I can't remember the exact verbiage so I'll have to look tomorrow...

          Did you ever come up with anything further on this?

          Thanks, Dan
          WebDAV is underlying technology.. if my SP site and domain is site.domain.com, knowing that SharePoint is going to use a flat file share in this example, then my mapped drive would be \site.domain.com\repository ... If you get a permissions error (the user needs to be able to upload there) use the following link: https://www.lucidica.com/help/mapping-sharepoint-as-a-network-drive/

          A Google search for some more key content would be "SharePoint mapped drive Windows". I found lots and lots of links for all kinds of setups from 2007 to hosted online and 2013.

            @BBigford Not sure that this solves the issue that I encountered where the resulting file was corrupt / zero bytes.

              What version of SharePoint are you on? That method is what we've used for 2007 & 2013...

                    Ah, yeah ours is not hosted. A few things...

                    *We had issues where the path exceeded 255 characters, have you addressed that?

                    *The user did not have the proper permissions on SharePoint, or permissions on the file(s) being uploaded. Have you checked that you can copy files to the upload location, as well as at least read permissions on the file(s)?

                    *There is a limit on amount of files to be uploaded. I think it is something like 5000, are you exceeding 5000?

                    *There is sometimes a file size limitation, have you already checked out this link? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/925083

                    That's about all I have for now as I'm not a SharePoint expert...

                      @BBigford I don't believe that our issue was due to any of the restrictions / limitations you listed. When copying a group of files, occasionally one of them would get corrupted and have zero bytes. There were no errors or warnings.

                      I was using Explorer to move files between the network drive and SP document library. All of the files were moved, but one of them was empty and had to be restored from backup.

                        Anyone ever try the products from Metalogix? If downloaded Essentials for Drives: File Shares to OneDrive Freemium, but I never received the activation code via email.
