Files On-Demand for macOS QA
Hello there!
2.24.22 UPDATE: We've been listening to your feedback, and we've made some design changes. We're releasing a new version that addresses the most common themes and makes it easier ...

MicrosoftI wanted to update this thread with a new blog post that talks to some of the top issues we have been hearing about the Files On-Demand update. The blog post outlines a scenario that we are enabling for you to mark your OneDrive folder to always keep it on you device. This scenario basically mimics the old experience of turning off Files On-Demand, it will make all your content as local first, even newly synced content will be locally available. It has other good changes as well but we are continuing to listen and looking to improve the experience going forward.

- I didn't have to go through the setup phase this time, but for the next dreaded time it's ever needed, I do hope you've reintroduced the step that allows the user to choose which folders one wishes to sync… That was among the top 3 most ill-conceived choices made by your team in recent years.
- Carter_MSFT Thanks appreciate the update however more timely updates would be appreciated by all, there have been hundreds on this blog pulling their hair out with this update that frankly has been badly misrepresented, and then worse, poorly communicated, we are (usually) your strongest advocates please treat us with respect
