Hi Arvind - thanks for your posts !
I would like to make a blanket statement as to how MOST users want OneDrive to work (please correct me if i'm wrong) -> as you listed above 'offline access' and i've edited it in BOLD or underlined below:
Choose which files to make available offline.
How it works: To access this feature on ALL devices, make sure you have the latest version of OneDrive installed. Even without an internet connection, you can open and edit files stored offline in the app, and in EXPLORER.
1. Select Your Files or Folders: Browse your files in the app, and for any file or folder you wish to access offline, open the context menu by tapping the three dots next to the item.
2. Enable Offline Access: Choose the "Make Available Offline" option. You'll see a blue sync icon appear, indicating the file is syncing. Once the icon turns grey, your file is available for offline use.
3. Automatic Sync: As soon as you reconnect to the internet, any changes you made to offline files are automatically synchronized with your OneDrive, ensuring your work is always up to date.
