Introducing OneDrive Files On-Demand and other features making it easy to access files

As people create and collaborate on more files, take more photos and work across multiple devices, it’s increasingly important to access your important content, both from your work and personal life—all in one place. You shouldn’t have to worry about whether there is enough storage on your device or if you can access your files on an airplane.

 

Today, we are excited to share a set of new features that will allow you to see and access all your files on Windows 10, be more productive offline on your mobile devices and quickly share files on iOS.

 

 

Read about it on the Office blog.

    Files on demand looks great. Hoping there is a way we can manage types of desktop files that can sync for the enterprise use.

    Will the planned File Explorer capabilities require Windows 10 Fall Creators Update or a later version of the client operating system? Or will they also be applicable to older versions of Windows 10, such as Creators (1703)? How about Windows 7?

    Also: Are there plans to retire the existing File Explorer integration with document libraries? We currently use that capability.

    Thanks,

    Rob

      OneDrive Files On-Demand will work with all supported versions of Windows 10 CBB and  WIndows 10 S. We will not retire File Explorer in anyway as some people may choose not to turn on the FIles On-Demand functionality.

      I plan to use this in a Server 2012 R2 RDS environment so I too am keen to know if Files on demand is a OD4B client feature rather than an OS one.

       

      A note of any Admin tools for this would be useful as well.

        This feature will work on all supported versions of Windows 10 CBB. This has no dependance on Server version.
