For OneDrive home and business, I cannot disable Files-On-Demand since the last update. This is crucial, I need full access to my files at all time.
What is going on? Why would you enforce Files On-Demand on your customers, isn't it enough to enable it by default? My 70GB of cloud data is not local anymore, sometimes I have no internet, you are locking me away from my files. Also making it impossible for me to do full text searches. Files On-Demand is also too slow, waiting a second to display folder contents is too much when you organize things in deep folder structures.
How I can disable Files On-Demand? Will you please stop knowing the best for your customers? We aren't toddlers. Thanks!
If Files On-Demand is enforced by policy, I will leave your cloud service once and for all.
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
That is not correct. I have a 1TB plan and another 1TB with Sharepoint. I am having the same issue and have worked with Microsoft engineers on several occasions. They are very helpful but in the end have to say, SORRY... our bad!
What a way to run a business.
Check to see if your files were "migrated" to this location instead of deleted:
/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.OneDriveStandaloneSuite/OneDrive.noindex/OneDrive
Thanks for checking but as you say, all trust is gone. As if I’d ever trust them again after deleting all my work files from my Mac. Still crazy to think they did that.
Ruined my workflow, ruined my "Mac experience". Hey Apple!!!! OneDrive is a Trojan!!! Now I'm angry as ****!!!!!! Moving to a NextCloud service. I'm not in the US but... can anyone sue this **** to oblivion, please??????
What a shameless and stupid company. How dare you remove all my files and put them in the cloud only? I heavily used Alfred to quickly locate files, now this workflow totally break because of this stupid feature! Please bring my fille back! If you can't bring this back I have to move to other cloud services.
