Mac version Onedrive, "File Save Local Storage" options disappeared and complained one after another

Last month, Microsoft was MacOS 12.In the OneDrive app after 1, the file on demand (Files On-Demand) function has become available.A variety of complaints have been received from the same synchronization method of OneDrive files and folders on the Mac.MacOS 12 currently being tested.In the three beta version, the Kernel extension used in the synchronous function of OneDrive (and Dropbox) was unable to use it, and the use of Apple's File Provider framework was essential.MS updated the OneDrive app in response to this, stating that this function "has improved the integration with the OS compared to the first version."

However, the customer reaction is not really good, and the speed of synchronization has been slower than that, and bugs have occurred one after another.The worsening situation is that the file on demand has been substantially forced by the OneDrive app.The file -on -demand function is a mechanism that saves all files locally so that you can download the file from the cloud when you need it, without squeezing storage.

Previously, it was invalidated by options, but the latest version OneDrive application has been deleted for disabled user settings, and there is no way to keep the synchronized files locally saved.Explaining the situation in another expression, this also means that the files that were synchronized in oneDrive and stored locally were erased from the Mac local after updating the application.

In the MS official forum, "Why do you forced the File on Demand to customers? (Omitted) My 70GB cloud data has disappeared from local and sometimes the internet cannot be used.You can see the voice saying "is gone."Finder, whose OneDrive is integrated, has a function to "always save on this device" for each synchronous file.If you use this, you should be able to use the same way as before (but you need to re -download the erased files one by one), but there seems to be no synchronization failure.

There are also reports that using this function for more than a few folders has made an error message saying "I can't communicate with helpers." In addition to these bugs, some users have encountered problems that cannot be downloaded and cannot be opened correctly with the default app with double click. For example, a major bulletin board Reddit states that if you open Word or PowerPoint documents in the OneDrive folder in the Finder lock, it will be treated as a local file, and the symptoms will not be synchronized with Onedrive. Many of these complaints have been confirmed, and there are many voices saying that they will revive the options to save synchronous files locally and move to the cloud storage of competitors as long as the synchronous bugs are not corrected. US Macrumors is contacting MS about this matter. I will tell you in this magazine, depending on the movement. Source: Macrumors, OneDrive Blog
