    Can I tell if someone else has a file set to "always keep on this device" in OneDrive or...


    Let's say User A has synced a SharePoint Online document library using OneDrive Files On Demand, and has set a file to 'always keep on this device'.


    Is there any way for User B to see that User A has done this?


    Is there any way to automatically check out a file if someone has it set to 'always keep on this device'?

    :)

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    It is not available in free OneDrive service, clicking Set expiry date only showing link to get (subscribe / buy) Premium:

    File History & OneDrive on Demand

    I know that "files on demand" aren't saved on my computer. However, I still have the following problems:

    • After starting a new File History backup from scratch (as suggested in the first response) the majority of my Onedrive , including almost all files that are marked as "Always Keep on this Device" are not backed up.
    • Even for files marked as "Files on Demand" - surely File History should be able to back them up anyway? The whole point of a good backup system is that you have copies of files in multiple places (and OneDrive's cloud system only counts as 1). The creation
      of the file history would be download heavy as it copies every file to my backup device, but after that it should only have to download single files as changes are made.
