IanBanker_ No. There are literally no troubleshooting options other than ''uninstall and reinstall''. There is no information online. I ended up dropping OneDrive and buying a NAS.

JRP_Mac_PC_IT_Systems I recently installed OneDrive on a new Mac and I can confirm that files-on-demand is now on by default. However, I highly recommend limiting the quantity of files you put in OneDrive for Mac. The indexing just isn't as good as on PC so you will have constant issues if you let the drive become too big.
If you have a lot of files, consider investing in a NAS. I bought a Synology DS218+ and it is absolutely amazing.
