    1st sign of OneDrive placeholders returning appears in Redstone build


    As with all early signs like this, we always advise readers to take them with a grain of salt. While it's clear that it has something to do with cloud storage and with something called "Placeholder", that is quite literally all we know for sure...

    Cannot read my JPEG photos and MP4 files

    The Windows Photo Viewer is still part of Windows 10 (at least it is in the public release builds, the redstone build appears to lack it, so this will quickly come out of date if they are stripping it).

    1st sign of OneDrive placeholders returning appears in Redstone build

    I would welcome this, assuming the article is correct in what this could mean. I would like to see the whole content of my OneDrive in File Explorer, yet use selective syncing.

    It could just be a literal placeholder for a string that will be used in the future... *Wink
