OneDrive Files On-Demand
OneDrive Files On-Demand enables users to view, search for, and interact with files stored in OneDrive from within File Explorer, without downloading all the files to their device. The feature provides a seamless look and feel for both OneDrive and local files without taking up space on the local hard drive. As shown in the following screenshot, files that are only in the cloud have a cloud icon for their status. For those files that have been downloaded, the status shows a green checkmark.
By default, files are downloaded only when you need to access them. However, if you plan to access a file while disconnected from the internet, simply make the file available offline by right-clicking it, and then selecting Always keep on this device. Alternatively, if you want to free space on your device and remove the downloaded copy of a file, right-click the file, and then select Free up space. The following screenshot shows the right-click menu for OneDrive files on a device running Windows.
Centralized attachments
OneDrive integrates with Microsoft Outlook to enable easy sharing of OneDrive files that appear just like email attachments. This feature provides a familiar sharing experience but centralizes storage of attachments in OneDrive. This allows your users to all collaborate on the same file instead of sending different versions back and forth in email. It also allows for only one instance of a file in the cloud, rather than multiples. In addition, you can configure sharing permissions on the files directly from within the Outlook client. There may be circumstances when you only want it to be reviewed, so the View Permission would work for you.
Files Restore
The OneDrive Files Restore feature lets users restore files to any point over the past 30 days.
Go to the OneDrive website, and sign in with your Microsoft account.
In the navigation pane, select Recycle bin.
Select the files or folders you want to restore by pointing to each item and clicking the circle check box that appears, and then click Restore.
Known Folder Move
Known Folder Move enables users to select Windows known folders, such as their desktop, Documents, or Pictures, to automatically synchronize to OneDrive. You can add this feature anytime. This capability provides a simple migration option for users looking to add known folders to their existing list of synchronized folders. For more information about Known Folder Move, see Protect your files by saving them to OneDrive.
Click on the OneDrive Cloud symbol in the lower left section of the task bar.
Click on the Help & Settings …Settings.
Click on the Backup tab and then the “Manage backup” button.
Select the Folders that you wish to backup to OneDrive or unselect options you wish not to, then click on “Start backup”.
OneDrive App
You can upload, download, and interact with your OneDrive files from a web browser, but the ideal OneDrive experience comes from the Windows and Mac sync apps and the iOS and Android mobile apps. With these clients and apps, saving files to OneDrive and interacting with them is much easier than visiting a website each time you need something. Through this experience, you can seamlessly integrate OneDrive into your existing file interaction experiences.
You can install OneDrive on any supported device. Simply download and sign in to start working with your files.
