There are instances when you Add Shortcut to OneDrive, and it will inadvertently stop the synchronization of your document library without you being aware of it. Not sure if this is “by design” or how it works at the moment, but I want you to be aware of this. If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that I never blog about SharePoint “bugs” or “issues” (hey, trying to stay positive, for a change) 😊īut this one “issue” just bugs the hell out of me.

I described how to do this in this article. In this case, you might want to stop the synchronization of these libraries. Perhaps these were projects already completed, and now they are just “sitting” there, doing nothing and probably taking extra storage space. However, if you are already syncing, you can always go back and select those specific folders you want.ĭon’t be a hoarder! I am sure you have lots of document libraries synced on your C: Drive, that you no longer need. But what if you just need a few folders taking space on your PC? Yes, you can do just that! It asks you to select specific folders when you sync a library for the first time. By default, OneDrive Sync will sync the entire library. In case you opt for local sync of files, you might want to consider Selective Sync. However, you can disable it, in case you do need files locally on your computer (for offline access or poor internet connection)
Files On-Demand is a default feature of OneDrive, so you do not need to enable it specifically. While it might seem like the file is present locally on your computer, it is actually not downloaded until you click on it for the first time.

Essentially it allows you to sync the entire library locally to your PC without taking much space. The first feature to keep in mind when using OneDrive Sync is Files On-Demand. If you read thus far into the article and wonder what the hell I am talking about – you might want to read this article here, where I explain what OneDrive is all about.
