OneDrive Placeholders are coming back, now called On-Demand Sync

[P4-630]

"At Ignite 2016, Microsoft has just announced that it is bringing Placeholders back to OneDrive on Windows 10. Now, they are not called Placeholders anymore — Microsoft is renaming the feature to “On-Demand Sync” which makes a lot more sense than “Placeholders”.

The company demoed this feature at Microsoft Ignite today, and it works just like it used to previously. As you can see in the screenshot above, the files stored in OneDrive weighed in around 9GB, but the actual size on disk was only around 3MB which is really neat. Of course, this feature isn’t anything new as it was available back in the Windows 8 days. However, Microsoft removed the feature with Windows 10, and after lots of waiting, they are finally coming back.

In case you are not familiar with OneDrive Placeholders, it’s a pretty neat feature which lets you see all of your OneDrive files on your computer — but they are not actually downloaded on your PC. When you open them, OneDrive will download the files on-demand, saving your local space which is really useful, especially if you have a PC that doesn’t have a lot of storage.

While Microsoft didn’t announce when exactly On-Demand Sync will be available to OneDrive users, we suspect it will be available with Windows 10 Redstone 2 — which is expected to arrive early next year. "

And another registry tweak in my collection to get rid of it.

Too true, since all these major updates are actually new installs.

No, I was just continuing off topic, as the FUD about Windows subscriptions is an entirely different topic. I like ice cream way to much. Blue is a color. The milkman comett.

Windows 10 as a Subscription is A reality not FUD ( at the moment restricted to Enterprise users )

and from Microsoft themselves

I could see MS selling upgrades for Win 10 in the future if it's to be their last version of Windows. There will probably be a DX13. They didn't like us sitting on XP for a decade without selling us an upgrade to a newer OS and they won't want us sitting on Win 10 for a decade without selling us something additional.
