    Files on Demand Error After Update


    I recently update my Dell Inspiron laptop to build 2004. I am now getting the following error from One Drive:

    One Drive Cannot Connect to Windows. Files on Demand requires a connection to Windows...

    I have tried the fixes suggested in a previous post on this issue. None of them have worked. I have also uninstalled and re-installed One Drive three times. That hasn't worked either.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    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.
