    How does Windows 10 conversion setup offline OneDrive files by default


    When I migrate to Windows 10,

    • Placeholders will be deleted from my local OneDrive folder.
    • Per folder selective sync will be available.
    But that leaves a question…

    • Will per folder selective sync be turned OFF by default at conversion?
      • This means offline files on the local OneDrive folder will be orphaned.
      • Therefore, to avoid confusion, I’d need to either (a) delete them since they’re available online and since sync is off, or (b) turn on selective sync for the folder they’re in and sync all files in the folder, or (c) do nothing if OneDrive automatically deleted them in the conversion.

    • Or, will per folder selective sync be turned ON by default for folders that have offline files in them, syncing all files in such a folder?

    • Or, will OneDrive try to sync all folders to my local OneDrive, overwhelming the smaller drive on my laptop?
    It seems to me this would be important to know, but I've not been able to find anything on it.

    STORAGE ISSUE

    Hi Grace,

    Your OneDrive setup may be consuming disk space on your computer if the files saved to OneDrive are available offline.

    To free up more space on your hard disk, you can make your OneDrive files online only. The steps on how you can do so are provided through this

    link.


    Keep us posted.

  3. Why are my stored pictures in two seperate and different areas?

    Hi Lux,

    Your photos can be stored in your Pictures folder from
    This PC
    and in the OneDrive folder as well. The OneDrive folder can be the one that notifies if you're offline or not. Also, your uploaded photos from your phone can be stored automatically in the OneDrive folder which is why it is
    saying you're offline even if your PC is connected to the internet.

    Refer to this link for more information regarding
    OneDrive on your PC
    as it can be very convenient for you.

    However, if you would like to keep your photos in the Pictures folder, you can set where your files are saved instead of automatically saving those files in the OneDrive folder by default. Click on this link for the steps to

    set the default save location of your files
    .

    Do let us know if there's anything else. We'll be more than happy to help.
