Does the newest Dropbox have the same problem?
If not, then why OneDrive has to take the path of not keeping all the local files? (Is it because the company wants users to use as much cloud space as possible while using only a decent local hard drive to increase cloud storage sales?)
Downloading files larger than hundreds of MB "on demand" from the internet is not fun.
It is good that pinning the Onedrive directory would keep all the files on the local hard drive.
But, in case all the files are already in the local hard drive (in the Cloudstorage directory) --- because in the previous version of Onedrive the "on demand" option is turned off, why does Onedrive redownload all the files again from the internet after the pinning?
Yes, I am pretty sure that all the files are being redownloaded, because the process is rather slow (if it simply making a copy from the Cloudstorage directory to the Cache directory, it should be fast).
