No "Files on demand" option in OneDrive

[aa bb]

Hi,
I tried to enable the "Files on demand" (online files with thumbnails) feature in my OneDrive but the feature seems to be missing. What could be the problem.

This is how the settings page looks like:

Add me to the list. I tried to see if re-installing the onedrive client would work, but no dice.

I had the same problem. I found this which fixed it for me:

I had the same issue. I downloaded the latest version of onedrive, installed it, and it works.

Tell me if it works for you.

Works for me after following above steps.

That said, it doesn’t function as I expected. I assumed you could see all files, and mark some as cloud, and other as local. It does that to start, but when you access, it downloads the file and it’s now local until you go back and remark as cloud. I’d rather it respect the original choice. Maybe I’m just weird, but I’m not crazy about constantly having to babysit my files.

This links to the older version, 17.3.6998.0830. Use the link by rad71, and that will get you version 17.3.7073.1013, which has the On Demand feature.
