OneDrive Files On-Demand gives you access to your files in OneDrive without using up disk space on your computer. This is especially helpful when your hard drive is running low on storage space.

When Files On-Demand is turned on, the files synced to your OneDrive – University of Vermont folder will display one of three icons. These icons let you know the current sync status of the file or folder.

Online-only files don’t take up space on your computer. You see a cloud icon for each online-only file, but the file doesn’t download to your device until you open it. You need an Internet connection to open online-only files.

Opening an online-only file will automatically download a local copy of the file to your device. This allows the file to become a locally available file, which can be accessed anytime, even when your computer does not have an Internet connection. You can change the file back to online-only by right-clicking the file and selecting Free up space.

Files that have been marked as Always keep on this device will have a green circle with the white checkmark. Always available files are stored locally on your device and will take up space, but they are always available, even without an Internet connection.
