Always keep on this device - Missing
OneDrive right click 'Always keep on this device' option is missing from my files options in Windows 11 (OS Build 22000.176). How can I get that back again?
LalithaPutra I can confirm this is no longer an issue. It was resolved a few Windows 11 versions ago. 🙂
- Just loaded the release and I have the same issue. 😞
- I had the same experience. Then I selected the "Show more options" menu item, had a look there, and unfortunately the "Always keep on this device" was absent here too. So I left clicked out of the menu for it to close and right clicked on another folder. This time the option list was much longer and it did include the "Always keep on this device" option! Since then all my OneDrive folders and files have the correct right-click menu.

- Unfortunately this has not been rectified. Option to 'Always keep on this device' still not available for me and File Explorer is extremely slow. On one of my computers I ended up reinstalling Windows 10, which works perfectly. Is a pity as Windows 11 is great in many other respects.
Same problem after upgrade from Windows 10
"Always keep on this device" missing from File Explorer menu in Windows 11
& File Explorer too slow to use
- It shows up for me if I turn the Navigation pane on in File Explorer and right-click the folder in the nav pane.
- Thanks Gregg for the tip. It works perfectly for me
Gregg Revak - it does work that way, but that's basically it, and the fact that Microsoft hasn't acknowledged this is concerning.
- I have the same issue
- Same here
Just received a Dell laptop that I had ordered, with Windows 11 already installed. I'm having the same issue. Instead of allowing me to download multiple files all at once by right-clicking a folder, I have to right-click on the individual files themselves--highlighting all within one folder--and then choose "Always keep on this device." The option for that or "Free up space" only appears if you're clicking on the files, not the folders. Also, I've noticed that if I right-click on the Personal Vault, I'm sometimes able to get the options to free up or download, but if I choose either, it does nothing. HGS56283
- Same here, my files synced to Onedrive then all of a sudden it deleted every folder on my desktop. Now, whenever I deselect folders to sync, windows automatically deletes it and doesn't keep it on my device.
