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.

    Is there a way to download standalone updater for this version?

    Sorry, I don't know. Their download page allows only to download the standalone, try to download it from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/onedrive/download to see if it will install the latest version.

    What update "channel" are you on? I'm on Current (not Preview or Beta) and still on 22.012.0117.0003 with no local storage option.
