How to disable Files On-Demand in OneDrive MacOS? It's enforced since the last update ...

I am reading all the comments and I agree with all people mad that microsoft deleted our files without asking or permission.

I want thing back as they were and I want it really fast, please. I hate that in this version the files are hidden in a Library folder, because all my python codes that need a clear drive path are not working. Now all the files I need to generate in the onedrive folder are ending in the Library folder (not the path I installed the onedrive), and they are not being syncronized.

What are you going to do to fix this?

I want my files on my computer all the time too. I don't know why Microsoft does this kind of thing unilaterally. That's why I never use Microsoft solutions if I can avoid them.

Please return the button to disable files on demand.

Thanks.

MS issued a new version of Onedrive 22.033.0213.0002 that appears to return the option of downloading all your files on to your computer. You can click a button that says it will download all Onedrive files 'now'. Do not believe it, it does not. I guess that if you click on each individual file it might download it, but the statement that all the files will be downloaded 'now' is a lie.

Trust in MS has gone, not sure I will ever come back as I do not know when they will do something similarly stupid in the future.

What MSFT did here is UNCONSCIONABLE!! Removed all my files and put the in the cloud only????? How does this ever make sense.

I checked several competing services and chose OneDrive specifically because I could keep all of my info local on my primary device, and then choose which folders I wanted to keep local on other devices. To just make a change like this without notice? I had my laptop while on vacation and went to access my data and found none of my files on my device AND I DIDN'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS!

If this doesn't get fixed, I'm done!

While researching found this text:

>>If you're using either Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive to sync files on a Mac, you'll want to pay attention to the release notes for today's macOS 12.3 beta: the update is deprecating a kernel extension used by both apps to download files on demand. The extension means that files are available when you need them but don't take up space on your disk when you don't. Apple says that "both service providers have replacements for this functionality currently in beta."

In the end I had to restore from timemachine with timestamp before update. Because downloadin did not download all files. Then manually compare files. Delete onedrive app, delete all keys in keychain plus all files and dir in ~/Library. Nw install. Same disaster. But dropbox does not seem to be an alternative. Because apple is also doing things. Great :-(. But anyway office business goes out the window. It's useless now.
