- pjc50 11y agoIt's removed in 10? That's kind of a disaster, as it's critical to making the Surface and various tablets usable.
- kyriakos 11y agoIt removed "placeholders" and added a selective Sync feature but its not the same. Placeholders experience felt more intuitive. Files that were only available online were marked so you know. I guess the problem started cause a lot of users would not be able to access files when offline and started complaining to their support service. Too bad though I loved that feature.
- pca 11y agoI think they'll bring it back in the summer, but didn't find a more recent source than this: https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/microsoft-consumer-services/onedrive/63140/onedrive-placeholders-to-return-with-redstone https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/microsoft-consumer-services/o...
