1) In OneDrive settings one of the default options ticked is Files on Demand is ticked to save space and download files as you use them. I assume we can manually over-ride this when we right click on all our folders and tick "Always keep on this computer". The benefit by de-selecting Files on Demand is that when future folders are created, then the manual option to store locally would not be required. 2) My reason for storing my files both locally and in the web is because I want my computer to backup all my files. When they are only in the cloud it is a false sense of protection. Synch can run amuck, disaster can strike. I want my files protected by an external backup system, and that is not possible with files only available on the cloud. I learned this the hard way, thinking I was backing up my computer files, but actually every folder was EMPTY! So ignorance can be hell. - so to verify, if I have the solid green icons in my file explorer, my files are backing up?

@ChrisMenardTraining2 жыл бұрын
With OneDrive for Work or School, the answer is *YES* . Technically, your company or institution, an IT Admin, could see your files. Will they? Most likely not, but they can. If you are worried about files being accessed, I would not store them on your school/work computer. You could use OneDrive Personal, which is free or you get it with a Microsoft 365 personal or family account for $69 or $99 a year respectively. That OneDrive is only for you.

I think it means the status is "pending" - for example, if there was a cloud icon indicating that a file is only on the cloud, and if you change the status to "available on this device", the file needs to be downloaded to your computer. You may not at that instant be connected to the internet, or the file may be a large one, and it is not yet downloaded fully. If you connect and give it a few seconds, it gets down loaded, and the circling arrows will change to a check (tick) mark.

Also when a file, say is in the cloud Documents folder and is downloaded to your desktop, where does it go? I ask because my OneDrive Documents folder shows files with a green check mark, but my local Documents folder shows "This folder is empty".
