    The one drive folder is still a local folder as well. This meme is just stupid and ignorant.

    It’s saved locally and automatically backed up.

    You can view it offline and online.

      This is not accurate, files will sometines be set to “online only” automatically. I had 1 Tb of one drive storage for many years, when I decided to stop using it I had to download houndreds of gigabites of my own files (which took weeks as microslop throttles onedrive downloads)

      So many files may be on your system, but if you use it for long enough you’ll find many of your files are online only

        They are online only, only if you tell them to be, or they are from another machine/previous install. If you create a new file it isn’t set to online only.

        That mode allows you to use them on demand without using up local hd space if you choose to.

      Except that word/excel refuse to let me enable “auto save” unless the file location is in a folder that is part of OneDrive.

      The only thing ignorant is your comment.

      It’s not the “is it on the local drive” that is the problem with OneDrive, now is it?
