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

Haha, you need to hire some UX designers that will help you and sort such things for you Microsoft.

You acted like an indie startup. Ridiculous that in such a big corporation it seems like you are not thinking, or have no people to do so. In your ads, you advertise yourself as a PRO but tbh what we can see is a huge mess and you don't know how to make development and iterations.

As One Drive Product Team, you will be facing professionals which are in many cases smarter than people in your company.

You lost me as a One drive user, Edge User, and all services user. You can't be trusted.

I can only imagine how angry someone who uses a satellite phone or someone with limited internet access must be right now. - no files...

And seriously, you need to ask your UX designers, not engineers or programmers they aren't important anymore. Have some empathy... Who is in charge there? You should "have a talk" with him/her :D

I decided to switch from OneDrive to Mega.io for good.

I have a Raspberry PI 4 in my house that I use to make Time Machine backups and to store some other data, so starting this weekend I will be using the Mega client to sync a 6TB HDD attached to that R-PI with Mega and I'll use the same approach to sync the folder with the info I have stored in OneDrive.

That way I'll have not only a good and reliable backup on the cloud but on my Time Machine storage too.

After all, this situation made me think about the best way to keep my data safe and accessible.

Thanks for that Microsoft and goodbye!

While I agree that this info is good to know, the basic premise is that this improves the files-on-demand feature. I don't use that feature, so they really messed up the Onedrive experience for those of us not using files-on-demand. MS really needs to understand their user-base before making such drastic changes, and deleting all my files :( (Fyi, I found your post very helpful; thanks for including it here)

Microsoft, who allowed you to delete all OneDrives from my computer? How can you do such a thing? Number 1 thing you expect from a cloud service is RELIABILITY. You destroyed all trust build with a single move. If this is not reinstated within the next couple of days - it's time for a new cloud service. I am angry and still can't believe how you could do this.
