Not sure what you are talking about great Idea, I said I agree with the idea, I'm just telling you it's not possible now, and I gave you a work around and how you can setup a computer without first downloading everything, turning on the on-demand setting, then selecting all the root folders to now "Sync" the metadata / files to your machine without downloading them.
Yes! What Chris says works without issues! Also having the settings per client makes sense since all devices are different regarding space, what kind of documents needed etc...
- It doesn't allow it, never said it did, but you said you had two problems, 1. it doesn't remember your settings which it doesn't. 2. you said when IT sets it up it downloads everything. That is what my work around eludes too. You don't have to download everything when setting up and that is what my instructions were geared towards.
I thought about that but i think that most people do sync their OneDrive on one computer only, so i feel it would make sense to have at least the possibility to keep the syncing options on the server side for users who always want the same syncing options after a fresh Windows install. And at the same time, for users who want different syncing options across different devices, to allow them not to enable this option.
Moreover, i read ChrisWebbTech answers cafrefully, and i am not exactly sure i understood how his proposal allows that. But again, i am absolutely not a native English speaker, and i probably have misunterstood his answers. I will take time tonight at home to read his posts again.
