OneDrive Files on Demand for Mac
Hello,
Any Update to this topic from Microsoft?
When the OneDrive or Sharepoint is quite large, permanent syncing is really tedious.
Files on Demand is really mandatory also on Mac...
Many Thanks

It seems to work quite well! Hooray!

I just tried testing this on another Mac, a MacBook that had a small SSD drive and it isn't working. I have 25GB in my OneDrive for Business and it shows cloud icons for all files and folders however, it has already eaten up 12GB on my MacBook and if I look at other folder, it keeps downloading even though it shows that it isn't so I can't "free up any files" as it looks like they are all in the cloud except that they aren't. This Files on Demand OneDrive client is not ready at all. 😞

Same here, tested it today and it's syncing the whole OneDrive online library... bummer :(
- Antony FearnSep 24, 2018Copper ContributorThanks for posting that Christopher. Looks like MS are finally delivering on this.

Will have our guys download the preview this week. If it works then its a game changer in simplifying the infrastructure we need for our small number MAC users and the way they can work alongside the wider business. - Jeffrey AllenSep 24, 2018Silver Contributor
Deleted, yeah!! It's about time Microsoft did this!
- ph_lySep 24, 2018Iron ContributorGreat! Now how about that differential sync? :)
In seriousness, hopefully it will come to operating systems besudes Mojave, which is releasing today.
