This might sound like something that you wouldn’t normally use on your computer, but people that have bought a bigger cloud storage from Microsoft or have a tablet with a small hard drive will find this extremely useful.īefore you begin using the on-demand feature you need to check if you have the option enabled. With this update you are able to see all the files that you have on your cloud storage indexed (only the file’s metadata and thumbnails are stored on your hard drive), being able to see them in your windows explorer without taking up space, and select which ones you want to have available offline. Last year, with the Falls Creators update, Microsoft added a feature that eliminates that problem.
Even tough you have the ability to select the files that you want to sync you are still forced to go into settings to select the file or folder that you want synced. The only downside to this is that you would have to sync your entire cloud storage which will take up space on your hard drive. Since Windows 8 the service comes preinstalled with the operating system and is baked in so you are able to sync your files from the cloud to your computer so that you have access to them without having to open up the browser. What initially started as Windows Live Folders, then Windows Live SkyDrive, then SkyDrive only and finally ending up with OneDrive is one of the most used cloud storage today. Microsoft’s own cloud storage service has been around for a while.
