Hello

 

I was at Ignite last week and was watching a presentation on OneDrive that allows employees to sync Sharepoint sites without downloading all the content.

 

meaning if I have a sharepoint volume (maybe a Microsoft Team, Outlook Group or something) that has 20GB of files, but Onedrive only shows them as stubs on my desktop and represents them as cloud icon.  I can then click the file i want from the File Explorer and it will download it as needed from the cloud minimizing the space used on my hard drive.  

 

I can't seem to find more information about this feature. Can you help elaborate on what this feature is and where i can find it?

It's available as part of the Windows Insider preview program (yes, Windows, not Office). Read here: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/06/13/onedrive-files-demand-now-available-windows-insiders/
