OneDrive downloads all files when syncing

Fabrice vE · 23. August 2024

Hi,I have a problem with new Windows 11 laptops handed out to employees.When the user syncs a SharePoint with the Windows Explorer OneDrive starts to download all files instead of syncing which results in the hard drive to become full.The weird things arewe use the group policies which forbid exactly that and work well on Windows 10 machinesfiles are marked as "cloud only" cloud symbol in Explorer but take up space on the hard driveAs we change from Win10 to Win11 now this might become a big problem.Anyone else who ran into a similar issue?

Über den Microsoft-Support habe ich nun erfahren, dass dieses Verhalten leider eine "Produkt-Limitierung" ist und somit bekannt ist. Dieselbe Frage wurde hier auch schon einmal gestellt:

Renaming files in OneDrive while it is syncing is frustrating because it highlights the entire name of the file. How to avoid this?

Unfortunately not for a batch of files. Individually when double clicking the header or the footer it will edit all of them but of the same file.

Thanks

Danke für die Antwort.

ich habe bei UserVoice bereits einen Vorschlag mit meinem Anliegen gefunden:

Ich hoffe, dass dieses Feature bald Beachtung findet und umgesetzt wird. Für Compliance ist dies eine unabdingbare Funktion.

Hallo Nils,

Das Synchronisieren von Dateien von Microsft Teams wird nicht momentan von OneDrive nicht unterstützt.

Hier ist der Artikel Verwalten von Dateien in Microsoft Teams
als Refenz.

Siehe: "Wie kann ich Dateibibliotheken mit meinem Team synchronisieren? -
Die Synchronisierung von Dateibibliotheken wird zurzeit leider nicht unterstützt."

Damit die gewünschte von dir Funktionalität implementiert wird, kannst du den Link darunter abrufen, dort abstimmen und deine Meinung und Vorschläge darüber den Entwickler
mitteilen.

Allow syncing of team files with OneDrive Sync Client.
