Presumably local files are deleted because most users nowadays are laptop/mobile users with limited local storage
Not sure why your downloads are so slow I'm able to get 20MB/s
I noticed another possible cause of slow file access on Windows is long file path names exceeding 160 characters
- matkoniecz 5y agoOneDrive is limited to 5GB by default, for nonpaying users. All payment models would make upgrading laptop SSD vastly cheaper. While making it much faster even with 20MB/s download being consistently achieved and always available.
- trinovantes 5y agoI'm referring to tablet/laptop hybrids with soldered storage like Surface Pro where storage options are only available at time of purchase and cost hundreds extra for an additional 128-512GB. By the time a high storage model pays off over cloud storage, your battery would probably be dead and you'd need a new device anyways. If you have a device with upgradable storage slots, then you're probably a power user and presumably you wouldn't even store your data in the cloud (other than an extra backup)
- matkoniecz 5y agoOK, for tablets it would make sense if they operate with continuous high-speed connection to OneDrive not throttled by Microsoft. Not for laptops, not for devices which are sometimes offline, not for devices without high-speed link to OneDrive.
