At this moment, you might be wondering who needs such large files. If that's what you're thinking, then the adjustment in the file size limit for OneDrive may not be for you. This is for individuals who need to store large 8K videos, 3D models, CAD files, extensive datasets, and more.
However, if you are utilizing OneDrive as an individual user, in contrast to OneDrive for Business, Microsoft provides an example of uploading a family video album or a ZIP file containing a large PC game to illustrate that OneDrive for personal use also benefits from the increased file size limit of 250GB
Uploading a large-sized file can take a considerable amount of time, and some issues may arise during this process, but Microsoft has provided an optimal solution to mitigate unexpected problems. Microsoft states that these large files will be 'split into multiple parts' and encrypted with a unique key.
Microsoft utilizes the Differential Sync feature, syncing only changes to the file, instead of having to upload an entirely new file every time you make any modifications. Support for the new 250GB file size limit is set to roll out at the end of January.
